Lies we Tell kids

If you are a parent, you are guilty of telling one or more of the following lies to your little rebel. Lying is a necessary part of parenting. Trust me, I know. I’m a parent too and am not ashamed to admit that I lie occasionally. Hey, it makes things easier sometimes! Hopefully I’m not the only one out there in this world that has used these lies. Of course, we don’t mean anything negative from telling them so don’t worry, these lies won’t permanently damage your kid or make you a bad parent :) But as we all know, children grow and get smarter and will catch on!

One: Santa, the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy really do exist!

Two: If you pull an ugly face like that again, you'll stay like that forever! 

Three: If you don’t eat all your food you’re never ever going to grow.

Four: Oh no it’s broken! You can’t play with it anymore. (Meaning if that toy makes one more sound it really will be broken)

Five: Those aren’t vegetables!

Six: The cartoons are all sleeping so you can’t watch them right now. 

Seven: If you are naughty, Santa will give you a lump of coal for Christmas.

Eight: Oh wow! What a beautiful drawing!

Nine: I’m listening/Watching

Ten: This will only hurt a little bit.

The Best is Not Better than You: Life is Simple

These days, there is just so much out there for our kids. There are many new options, a lot of new technology, and so many “other better things” out there.  We tend to forget how simple life really is. We really don’t need much to live a happy life. We just need the basics. Well, asides from the underwear and the shoes, what are the basics?

Okay so we are about to get all “smarty pants” right now.

So, there was this guy named Abraham Maslow. He had this psychological theory on human motivation and stuff. Take a look at the pyramid.

It’s alright to feel as if you must give your children the best of everything. That shows how much you love and care. We’re not saying it is wrong to be this way but we just believe that by giving your children your very best puts forth as much effort as getting the very best.

Friends, we encourage you to find a balance between these two and you may have fewer worries :)

Mohawks, Faux-hawks - Cool Hairstyles for Kids

Mohawks and faux-hawks on babies and young children have become fairly popular hairstyles.  However, some parents highly disagree with styling their kids’ hair in such fashion. I, on the other hand, believe it is absolutely adorable! After all, it’s just hair and it will grow back. Babies, at such young ages, can’t really make their own decisions on hairstyles anyways. Some toddlers may already have a sense for what they like or dislike and if they happen to dig Mohawks then that’s awesome. 

SOURCE

We as parents already make a lot of decisions on our children’s behalf, including what’s in their wardrobe. So why is it such a bad thing to want to style a little Mohawk or faux-hawk? It’s actually not a bad thing at all. Some people have adverse opinions about it but that doesn’t make it wrong. Although it has always been a rebellious look, it has become a trend and more widely accepted than ever. Schools may set dress rules and guidelines on what is appropriate or what is considered distracting, so please check with your child’s school to avoid having your child being sent home. 

At such a young stage in life, most of what kids wear is a parent’s decision or a reflection of their parent’s taste in fashion and personality. Childhood is gone in a flash. It really is so much fun to style up your baby and capture moments with great photos. Why not? 

If you only want a Mohawk on your kid once in awhile, you may go for a faux-hawk. There are some parents willing to take a Mohawk style to the extreme by shaving the sides off. There is also the case of dying your children’s hair wild colors. I personally wouldn’t allow that for my daughters until they get older.  However, I’m not going to say that parents who would allow it are bad parents or that their parenting is substandard. There are other worse things that parents can do to deserve to be called bad parents. I just don’t think that styling your child’s hair a certain way should be one of them. You can teach your child appropriateness and good manners and also let them have cool hairstyles.   

Why are Mohawks on kids so controversial? It has always been a symbol of rebellion. I say it’s your child, have fun, and rock on!
