kids and the fashion industry

With the changing fashion trends and fast growth of fashion lifestyle, we all want to look fabulous, do a little cloth match make with the kids, pose for a picture, post it on the socila media and get those likes. interesting right, what comes with it is either positive or negative to the parent, and people around and indirectly to the kid.

Someone asked Victoria Rubadiri at girlfiends talk “how do we deal with the fact that when one person posts a pic of say, “am selling certain cloths” gets alot of likes and following. Then the other second party posts the same kind of clothing and get most 10 likes? , Second party gets demoralized and feel he? she is loved less. depression follows, same as personal pictures.

Depression follows and end up in bad shape and do other extreme ideas that totally destroys his / her life. we all or sometimes get the feel of that story, its about growth, the steps you take one day at a time, the count of the progress is important, the point is, as we develop our kids from being toddlers to being solely grown people, we need to “invest” on them from as early as their talents can be discovered.

pay for that teacher to train them on public speaking, pay that trainer to give her life skills, pay that teacher to teach hi/her any instrument, take your time out of the normal busy day and have a conversation on body reality, don’t wait till he/she is 19 or 20, then they go out of their way to find out themselves, jerk of all trades they say. build that child from the young age, then you will see the difference once she is 20.

That is Investment on kids on fashion industry, its the growth, the process, then results.
