[ESP-ENG] Every opportunity for Dariana to be independent is a challenge 🙆😵‍💫🎯

Since I understood and accepted that my 9 year old daughter is growing up and hence so many physical and emotional changes in her, I offered her the opportunity to choose her outfits for Christmas and New Year, this as part of the traditions with which I grew up, and are still kept in the family, the most beautiful "premieres" of the year, especially for children 🚸.

This thing went from being fun to being complicated. Looking back a little to date, I always chose the outfits, accessories, shoes, in short, everything that my daughter wore. Now, in this matter of understanding that she can make decisions for herself from now on she would choose her clothes, and it became super difficult 😵‍💫.

The idea was not that she only choose her clothes, I also wanted her to learn to be more organized with her things, fold and arrange her clothes, know where she puts them, look for them herself when need it, there are several tasks tied to the independence of choosing your clothing items.

Since October we were visiting places, shops, cities, it was quite an odyssey, considering the girl's tastes.

Of course we shared many family moments, girls' evenings, even without positive results, but the idea was that Dariana would choose her clothes by herself, and it was getting complicated. question, because she didn't like anything to the point that I had to agree so that something would catch her attention, that was not the goal 🎯.

On so many outings to buy her clothes, there were many conversations between us so that she felt confident in choosing what she would love. It wouldn't bother me, much less we would stop buying it.

She has always been a flirtatious girl, she likes everything in pink 🩷 and that limited her options, that's why we kept talking so she could open her options even more. She is a girl, not so little now and she had to understand it.

For a moment I thought about choosing the clothes myself and ending this exhausting journey 🤔, but I had to understand her interests, and in that sense I discovered that she no longer wants to wear clothes that other girls put it on, hehehe, now you made it difficult for me, where can I get designer clothes (laughs)🤪.

While we were searching we realized that we live in a town with limited options, that online shopping exists, but we are still not sure about this option, that repeated clothes are everywhere sides and it turned out to be the most economical, looking for different clothes is a matter of going to other cities, Dariana is not so small anymore and getting her size is another challenge, finally it is necessary to have a little more money , because this type of taste is more expensive, although this year clothes are super expensive.

Reviewing all those concerns I kept thinking about choosing her clothes myself, however when she found something she liked despite the pain in my pocket, Hehehe, her face lit up like a shining sun 🌞, that definitely impacted me.

In summary, it is important for children to have independence, make decisions, strengthen their personality, and generate confidence in them. On the other hand, we never stop being a timely guide as parents, the best example, supporting and understanding them so that they understand how they should handle different situations.

It is not about clothes, outfits or accessories, it is about guiding children as best as possible so that they have the best attitude towards the circumstances of life, that they are capable of deciding for themselves in the best possible way, that would help my pocket a lot, hehehe, and so far I have guided her well with her outfits. Just kidding 🤪.
