Teach Your Daughter To Live Naturally

Because of social media, girls today are overexposed to advertising. Many of these ads have to do with the use of beauty products. Therefore, living naturally has become unpopular with girls. They can’t be themselves.

Nowadays, it is common to see girls starring in tutorials that offer beauty tips. On the screen young people between 8 and 12 years of age can be seen making up excessively and advising people on how to treat body imperfections. This trend has made young women live their childhood more quickly than usual.

Living naturally is the challenge parents face. Teach your daughters the importance of beauty inherent in each of us and also the importance of acceptance and self-love.

 live naturally

When we are teaching our children to live naturally, the example should come from home. First, by strengthening the children’s security and self-esteem.

self love

The basis of naturalness is learning to like yourself, who you are. For this, it is necessary to avoid comparisons and stereotypes. It is common for girls to try to imitate their idols. The problem is that in most cases they are adults. So it’s important to remind them that everything has its time in life.

Furthermore, we must teach them that not all people are the same. The trend indicates that girls seek to look like each other and want to be like their idols because they think their naturalness is not attractive in the eyes of others. This is completely wrong.

the inner beauty

Not everything that glitters is gold. The true beauty of an individual lies in their

personality

. It is important to inculcate this way of thinking in girls’ heads to reinforce the importance of authenticity. A consolidated personality can withstand social pressure. Mistakenly, girls think that behaving like adults will succeed in being popular. In some cases this might work. However, they expose themselves to many dangers by appearing a different age than they really are.

The ability and personal achievements are not only associated with external beauty. It is people’s skills and abilities that make them achieve their goals. Building confidence in girls will make them capable women. Living naturally requires that the person embrace the qualities and defects and know how to use both, when necessary.

What are the right ages?

Some experts suggest that the best age to start putting on makeup is when the circle of friends starts looking for it. However, given the precocity of teenagers today, it is important that parental discretion prevails.

• When girls show interest in grooming themselves, the mother should behave as a role model. the family must be the best

  example

  for the children. Saying one thing and doing the opposite only sends contradictory messages to children. That way it will be easier to draw the lines between right and wrong.

• Some parents accept that their daughters wear makeup at home. This can stimulate the girl’s curiosity and anxiety about wanting to make this a custom.
• Ideally, these decisions are accompanied by clarifications. You must make your daughter understand that everything has its time and time according to age. This is the best way for your daughter not to want to challenge you.

• A common mistake is to prohibit action at all costs. When a child is forbidden to do something, his immediate reaction is to do exactly what was forbidden.

Recommendations for parents

lead by example

First, parents must set a good example. Some mothers find it fun to take their young daughters to the salon, let them have their nails painted, or walk around the house wearing high heels.

Without intending to, this arouses curiosity in girls. As time goes on, they will want to try new things, which will make it difficult for parents to set clear boundaries.

keep the dialogue

In pre-adolescence, it is important to maintain a good

dialogue

 with the children. In the case of girls, meeting their curiosities is vital. It is necessary to create spaces where there is confidence to talk about their interests and in which parents can also discuss their posture and the rules of the house.

If the family does not offer these spaces of opening, the girl will certainly look for it outside the home.

Mostly, parents should know that the rules and advice they give their

daughters

have to be the best for them. In addition, they must pay attention not to convey contradictory messages and try to respect their own guidelines themselves.
