How to help your child find his or her style!
Kids being accepted by their peers is hugely important in building their self-confidence when they’re young. They want to fit in, and their clothes play a vital part in that. There are a few things to consider when helping your children pick out their own wardrobe. The first of which is going to be the price. This is one thing that doesn’t need to be discussed with your child, but it does need forethought before going to the store.
The main thing you want to keep in mind is what type of clothing looks best on your child. Meaning, which style helps bring out their natural personality. You don’t want to buy plaid themed clothing for instance if they’ve never worn it before. Additionally, plaid clothing is associated with being studious so, even though learning is at the forefront of schooling if your child isn’t overly involved with the studious crowd this type of clothing would not be an acceptable style fit. You want your child to look like the others they associate with as this will help with their confidence at being able to fit in with others.
Bright colors are usually associated with and look better on, people who have outgoing personalities. If your child is naturally quiet and is comfortable with that trait, don’t try to get him or her out of that shell by trying something new. If the child asks however, by all means see how brighter colors will look on them and how they feel about it. Maybe your child wants to branch out by trying to be a different type of person, so the clothes you both choose should help in that “transition” by helping to give them the confidence to do so.
Whether your children tell you or not, they take their clothes terribly seriously. Especially when your child starts entering their teenage years and acceptance is everything. All of the different styles and their reasons aside, you want the clothes to fit well and look like a lot of attention was paid to detail. It may not look “professional”, but if your child starts with this habit early it will lead to more professional looking clothing in the future.
