WHAT PARENTS KNOW ABOUT KIDS FANCY OUTFIT?

Why not wear two different socks, shoes, or gloves?

My older son used to dress like this a lot, but it quickly went out of fashion. However, our daughter surpassed him in terms of outfit choices. The basics of clothing – it’s best to take everything from the older brother. A Superman costume can be for any day. It’s a pity that cycling gloves and Crocs suit her best all year round.

I have very happy mornings when in the evening my daughter is preparing clothes for tomorrow. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/the-specialist-in-childrens-morning-dramas-wanted-immediately/

What clothes will she choose?

It doesn’t really matter, what matters is that she finished with a morning drama.
If we were choosing clothes in the morning, half an hour was not enough. The older son, already sweaty, was waiting in the corridor for Dora to decide on the 11th leggings.
Generally, we are at the stage where long pants are not good. Dora prefers shorts but is it cold outside so we came to an agreement and she wears shorts over leggings.

Previously I’ve lost my patience many times because of Dora’s silly morning behaviour.
I was ashamed of the looks other parents gave me because of my daughter’s outfit. But every now and then I saw other kids who looked like they had just left a Halloween party. One day I noticed that her best friend was wearing a winter hat in the summer. Then I wasn’t ashamed anymore.

I’m not alone.

Dora feels happy in her clothes and that’s the most important thing.

Of course, I have already heard two opinions from some educational programs on this topic:

1) let’s leave the choice to the children,

2) you are a parent, mentor, and role model for your child, and you make the decision.

Which statement do I have more in common with?

With the first one – Dorothy has her own choice, for which she is fully responsible, and I support it.

Probably half of the parents will agree with me, and the other half will accuse me that the child rules me, gets into my head, and I have nothing to say.

I’m just showing my own opinion and I don’t support the second statement. A very wise observation in this program was made about the second option:

“Namely, deciding for the child in everything, regardless of whether it is a small thing, e.g. what to wear, or important life decisions, the child is deprived of the ability to make decisions and responsibility. As a parent, only provide assistance in your child’s choices and decisions. But above all, let your child decide for himself. Children for whom we constantly do something, for whom we constantly choose something, develop in such a way that they will expect help in every life situation. As adults, they will not be able to make decisions on their own.
That is why I chose and strongly support point 1 in the child’s development – let the child choose and decide…”
