Unschooling Photo Journal 4
It used to be that little girls were said to be made of sugar and spice and everything nice.
Nowadays our society tries to make them into sweet little strumpets as early as possible.
One of my favorite things about our lifestyle is the ability to allow our girls to grow at their own pace.
To go slow and steady,
to put on the trappings of adulthood they are ready for,
to wait on those they are not,
to mature into little ladies
before
They start to look like them.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
My eleven year old, who has long legs and a body many adults would go under the knife for, looks at a mini-skirt with an air of puzzlement.
“Why would anyone wear that?” she wonders. You see, if you can’t climb a tree in it, she won’t wear it.
Viva la girlhood.
Amen!
So very true. It is so much easier to keep them out of the box when they are home with us. Great photos.
I wish parents could see the importance of keeping kids looking like kids, as long as possible. It’s disturbing to see young girls, not even teenagers…dressed in mini skirts, super short shorts with large words across the bottom, bikini bathing suits etc…and then you see the moms – dressed the same way. Sad.
I just love this post!
This post and the little boy post are so important. I get so frustrated sometimes trying to find clothes for C that look appropriate to what I think she should wear.
