Should Your Children's Clothing, Style and Appearance be Compromised?As you may have already noticed, there is a huge surge in “mini me” clothing popping up all over. What exactly is this “mini me”? This “mini me” couture effect is basically a term used for parents wanting their children to look and dress like they do. With the vast amount of information on the Internet and the constant celebrity exposure, our children are growing up with a lot more options than we ever had. Designers are churning out pint size renditions of clothes that are on runways every season. However, not every parent is jumping on this band wagon. In our family outings, I still see children dressed in p.j.’s or t-shirts that are witty yet sloppy. I always look to the parents to see how they are dressed. It’s usually the same. Most of the style stems from the parents. Children in more ways than one are a direct reflection of their mommy and daddy. 2. Move close to your child and down to their eye level. 3. Smile. Smile is a curve that keeps everything straight. 4. Praise a specific behavior. “You did such a great job cleaning up your bedroom.” 5. Speak with feeling and sincerity. Do not hurt your child’s sentiments. 6. Touch your child affectionately, maybe a pat on the back or stroke of an arm. 7. Praise immediately, as soon as you notice commendable behavior. |
