Brand Names Don’t Matter

We as adults are aware that brand names are more than just comfort and looks. They’re intended to signify a level of status, mindset, or even cultural belief. As you become an adult, you can indulge yourself in such surface-level ideas, but kids—even high schoolers—shouldn’t have to worry about it.

Unfortunately, many kids are raised by parents who either don’t think much of it, or teach them that they’re somehow “better” because they’re wearing certain brands. The problem is that these youngsters come into their social scenes with these problematic beliefs, and influence others that they all must follow suit.

This can create a toxic environment for those who don’t have the means to afford such luxurious clothes. They may come to resent themselves or even their parents for not providing them with “cool” enough clothes. It’s your job as a parent to instill your child with a strong sense of self-worth, and teach them that it truly doesn’t matter what kind of symbol is on your shirt. It’s not easy to do, but it’s crucial that they learn this lesson.

Teaching Them to Think for Themselves

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.
