      @@kaelinjohnson3090Some mothers exaggerate their child’s hairstyles and clothing choices. They may add an excessive amount of hair to a little girl’s head. Sometimes they put their small children in mini skirts, and graphic tops, and while some even have their young daughters wearing crop tops and belly shirts. Even dad’s will buy their small children overpriced shoes. 🤷🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

    I love how you encourage her to make her own logical decisions while still giving her feedback! Even though it is so new to me for kids to get new pencil cases etc. every school year. In Germany, kids get one good quality backpack + lunchbox + pencil case + gym pouch set in first grade which they will use all throughout elementary school (1st-4th grade), and then a new set for the new school starting 5th grade.

      I usually got a new backpack every year but they were always the inexpensive ones that something usually broke on it before the school year was over. Depending on if feet grew shoe sizes we would get 4 new pairs throughout the year tennis shoes, dress shoes, sandals, and winter boots and school shoes went off directly after school and we wore our old shoes for play. We each got a weeks worth of new clothes for school each year and had what was still nice and fit from the year before.

    Great video. These shopping trips with Ziya help to build so many useful skill sets. I would add praises for the choices she makes after asking her decision as opposed to convincing her to choose something else. Everything doesn’t have to match or be perfect. What’s most important is does Ziya like it. Will the item make her happy. Giving them a true voice builds confidence (as the shirt implied)😊❤ I say yes to the blue cup and pink lunchbox and rock your all black outfit Little Miss Ziya! Have a great year!
