Socks keep your shoes from absorbing sweat and help prevent blisters. They’re useful beyond the social construct.
Arguments like these don’t work with kids. Let them experience themselves what is best for them. And have spare socks ready in case they change their mind afterwards
Sure, if that’s a reasonable option, but letting the kid hurt themselves isn’t always practical. Letting the kids find out ‘messing with the pot of boiling water is bad’ the hard way, as an example, is not what I would consider good parenting.
I think it’s pretty clear they’re referring to uncomfortable stuff, not dangerous stuff. Obviously don’t let them do dangerous stuff.
“You’ve made a correct observation, now please provide an argument why the social construct of x should not be adhered to. X is dumb and I don’t wanna is not sufficient.”
