Is Fashion Stifling Childhood?

Send us a text

"Look, it has pockets!" said the child as they emptied the rocks, shells, and leaves from the pockets of their new skirt.

And we have to admit, as grown women, we too have twirled in excitement when FINALLY finding a dress or skirt that can fit our wallets, phones, and car keys but it makes us ask the question... 

Are we letting "looks" get in the way of "life" and what kind of message is that sending to our children especially when that comes to nature play?

In this episode, we discuss:

✔️Our experiences with children wearing inappropriate clothing in a nature play session and what are the best clothes and shoes to wear

✔️The adulteration of children's clothing 

✔️Our thoughts on the gender discussion when it comes to clothing for boys and girls

✔️Why children need to feel free to move in their clothing and how this impacts their sensory experiences

✔️How dressing children in “hi-vis” vests sends the message that children are separate from nature
