Should Your Children's Clothing, Style and Appearance Be Compromised? By Jennifer Borrero

As you probably noticed, there is a huge increase in "mini-me" clothing popping up all over. What is this "mini-me"? This "mini-me 'couture effect is a term used for the parents want their children to look and dress like they do. With the huge amount of information on the Internet and the constant celebrity exposure, our children grow up with many more opportunities than we ever had. Designers are churning out pint size renditions of clothes on the job each year. However, not every parent is jumping on the band wagon. In our family trips, I still see children dressed in PJ's or t-shirts that are witty yet sloppy.

Is how you dress your child to think about your personality and lifestyle?

I always look at the parents to see how they're dressed. It is usually the same. Most results of the style of the parents. Children in more ways than one are a direct reflection of their mom and dad.

With this being said, I do not think that the "mini-me" idea is so bad. We all know that families always together. Why not create that culture with your own children? I am not saying that the appearance is the main issue in the life of a child. But appearances speak for themselves. What is wrong with dressing the part? Your child will grow and learn to take pride in how they look and will in turn pass on to their children.

What will your child Look - Classic or Trendy?

When you think of the look you want your child to think you stylish or trendy? I came to the following conclusions:

1) Trendy clothes are super cute children while they are flavorful.

2) Classical styles and brands of clothes are fun to have time for formal as weddings, portraits, graduations, etc. ..

3) Trendy clothes in classic colors provide a great clean, modern look.

Regardless of the style you choose for your child, let it be a tasteful expression of who your child!

Finally, How to Praise your child?

The following are 7 ways on how final praise your child:

1. Watch your child in the eye.
2. Move close to your child and down to their eye level.
3. Smile.
4. Praise of a specific behavior. "You have such a great job cleaning your bedroom."
5. Speak with feeling and sincerity.
6. Touch your child affectionately, maybe a pat on the back or arm of a stroke.
7. Praise immediately once you find laudable behavior.

"Your praise must be honest and specific. Do not dilute the effectiveness of praise by the excessive or insincere. Older children will respond to your exaggeration."
