]]>Children adore running around on sand or grass in the summer. Sandals offer a good compromise, as you can insist that shoes stay on but your kid can still feel the sun, wind, and sand on their toes through the sandals. If your child is younger, it may be worth opting for a pull-on pair, as children can struggle with the buckles found in many sandal styles.
As well as investing in a pair of sandals and sturdy boots, make sure your child has some cute and comfortable sneakers to slip on their feet on those more active days. Sneakers are generally easy to wear and lightweight, so your child can do plenty of moving and running around, but they will protect feet a little more than sandals. Opt for a pull-on pair, or if your child is learning to do their laces, use a new pair of lace-up sneakers as an incentive.
Buying a pair of zip-up or pull-on winter boots is a must, as your child is likely to have plenty of puddles to navigate on their way to school in the winter. Although kids are often drawn to embellishments such as fake fur linings, try and encourage your child to see the benefits of a simple, sturdy pair that will keep their feet warm and dry throughout the colder months.

]]>Fashion is a mere byproduct of countless other cultural trends that take place in every generation. And yet, as a tool of expression, it can have a very strong impact on the way your child thinks of themselves.
Teaching children to looking presentable, as we mentioned, should be the bare minimum. Teaching them to look their best is also a skill that goes a long way.
However, if you really want to impart wisdom in your child’s fashion habits, teach them to think for themselves. Make no mistake, your beloved son or daughter will often feel consumed by the way their peers dress, especially in high school. They’re going to want to fit in. You shouldn’t discourage them from feeling a part of a collective. But you should also strengthen their individual character enough that if, for whatever reason, they have a bad hair day, or all their “trendy dresses” are in the laundry and have to wear their “boring clothes” to school one day, it’s not going to be the end of the world.
Allow them to feel connected to something greater. Heck, we all had fashion styles growing up, and it’s not the worst thing in the world. But you don’t want them to lose themselves in the process, and it’ll be up to you to remind them who they are when they’ve lost their way.
