As a mom, I believe it is one of my responsibilities to teach my daughter that she is always enough. I have written multiple thesis papers and have completed numerous research studies on positive body image and have had plenty of clients that have suffered from negative self worth. I know how easily it can be shattered. I know how deeply it can destroy someone. I know how detrimental it can feel. Despite the influences from peers, media, and society, I want my daughter to always have a positive self image and love who she is on the outside and on the inside. A negative body image and overall self image plagues so many little girls, I’d like to ingrain her positive attributes at an early age and focus on her feeling good about herself, on the good days and the challenging days. I don’t want her social self to dominate her worth. I want her to develop a core self that won’t falter despite what the world throws her way.
As a mom, I believe it is one of my responsibilities to teach my daughter how to play and have fun. As a registered play therapist, I want her to use her imagination, role-play, and be whoever her heart desires in any given moment. Play is beneficial at all ages and I love to play with her while I still can. Right now I am still her best friend and her playmate so when she says “let’s play dress up and have a fairy princess tea party” I say “YES!!!” Plus it allows me to wear some of my old bridesmaids dresses that are in the back of my closet and create a new use for them!
As a mom, I believe it is one of my responsibilities to teach my daughter how to sparkle, shine, and glow brightly throughout her entire life. If you haven’t yet heard, there is a mom-owned beauty brand that just launched called Petite ‘n Pretty that is leading the Sparkle Revolution! Their age appropriate and pediatrician approved beauty line is redefining pretty and is helping young people glow all over the world. They believe that pretty is a feeling that goes beyond outside appearance. A company after my own heart, behind their high quality beauty products, the brand aims to empower, encourage, and embrace creativity, and most importantly to always have fun!!! My daughter and I had so much fun having an experiential play date using all of the products and taking turns putting them on each other!!
As a clinician, I also work with autistic children and adolescents and I love that this brand thoughtfully included an occupational therapist on their board of advisors who offered influence as to how the products were shaped based on motor skill availability and sensory challenges! This company isn’t just a pretty face. This brand isn’t just about beauty being skin deep. It is a brand of integrity, thoughtfulness, and values scoping beyond just looking pretty on the outside. Although, being pretty and feeling pretty on the outside can be celebrated, too – especially when you have beauty enhancers that include glitter!
I love that the products are Paraben-free and Phthalate Free. They are also nut-free and gluten-free so they are safe not only for my daughter to use for imaginary play, but also safe if she were to ever take them to show and tell at school and or wear a little sparkle at her dance recital. Being a conscientious mom means making sure that she is aware of others’ allergies as well as her own. The company also comply with all the FDA regulations you should expect, and also Prop 65, and the Oregon State Child Safety Act as well. The products are even cruelty free and have never been tested on animals.
Safety is the expectation, never the exception! – Petite ‘n Pretty
