This Halloween Let Your Daughter's Creativity Sparkle (Not just her costume)!
On a day when she can be anyone or anything, princesses and Divas should
not be her only Halloween choices! It s not that pink and pretty is bad, but it
squeezes out other possibilities. Girls love it, yes, but they also love double
fudge-frosted brownies, and you wouldn t want them eating a steady diet of that
stuff. ...
Be creative with your daughterâ s costumes. Imagination can help girls break
out of gender stereotypesâ ¦and fantasy is a great practice for reality.
Encourage your daughter to be anyone or anything. If they are encouraged to
look around them, they will see women doing wild, brave and phenomenal
things. (Astronaut is NOT a boy costume!) This will give them permission to be
wild, brave and phenomenal too!
Donâ t assume that you know what your daughter likes. She is bombarded
with pink princesses, sexy divas and pop stars, but she may surprise you! Talk
about possibilities. If she chooses pink and glittery, encourage her to add her
own twist to her costume. If she wants to be a queen, let her carry a sheath and
sword in case she needs to fight for her crown!
Spend time with her and listen to what she likes and why. Sitting down and
talking about Halloween costumes is a great learning and bonding experience.
Help her to recall the best costumes she saw last year, â Remember when those
three girls who were best friends dressed as the Three Musketeers?â And itâ s
also a great opportunity to open the door to new possibilities.
