Does Dressing Kids In Expensive Clothings Means Teaching Them To Be Materialistic?...

 
Some parents will prefer buying non expensive clothings for their child because they will later out-grown them and as long as the cheap ones looks good on them while some parents prefer giving the best to their children even if it means them wearing the latest designer clothings. In either, every parents have their own way of raising their child...Remember the post I published about these little stylish twin boys whose photos made headlines on many blogs including Kamify blog because of their sense of fashion at a young age. Well not everyone was pleased with how their mother is spoiling her kids by dressing them like adults in expensive wears....An international blogger Sandra took it up on herself to slam the mother of the twin boys by saying she is raising her twin sons to be narcissists. Now my question is does dressing your kids expensively means teaching them to be materialistic?. Read what the blogger wrote below...



I was planning to enjoy one more glorious day off before getting back to the grind. But I had to write this post to show you how a misguided, materialistic single mom is raising her twin sons to be narcissists.
While other blogs (not surprisingly run by women) ooh and ahh over these photos of stylish twins “M” and “D” — we should take care to remember that their childhoods have been hijacked by an attention-seeking mom who is attempting to recreate her ideal man in her toddler sons.


“M” and “D” should be outdoors enjoying their childhoods with other children their ages. Instead, their mother dresses them up in expensive name brand clothing and posts their photos on Instagram to draw “likes”.

This photo shows the twins boys with their mom, a typical materialistic woman with yards of hair weave and no man in sight. The children are being taught that image and good looks are everything. They already have attitudes to rival that of Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs.



In my Medical Minute post: Are You Raising a Narcissistic Child, I wrote: “Any culture that is obsessed with beauty and image breeds narcissism.” Studies show that the sharp rise in narcissists in today’s society is directly linked to the explosion in social media. Instagram is a narcissist’s playground where the self-obsessed upload their photos to encourage ‘likes’. In a blog on Huffingtonpost.com, sports psychology consultant Nicole Forester referred to social media as an “Epidemic of narcissism”. She wrote: “We are each hard-wired with the desire to feel relevant. Everyone wants to feel like they matter and are important. Social media provides this outlet, but also promotes being self-absorbed.”

N/B; @Oge asking if I am on a nine month course, well time shall tell if I am, lol but anyway thanks for your wishes, I appreciate.

Why buying expensive clothes for kids when you know they are still growing and will not wear them for long. For me I think it's too much show off.

I dont see anything wrong in spending money on your children. So If I already have investments and wish to enjoy every moment of life as I comes, anything wrong with flaunting my children? By the way, Been classy to me does not require designers. Besides the armani belt there, the rest may just be ordinary designs but the mother is intelligent enough to match them properly. Abeg Ify help me with their instagram name make I follow them Jare...
