This week’s challenge will talk about something that will definitely hit home if you have daughters like we do. We’re talking about age appropriate beauty. Yes I already know, we’re being bombarded left and right by images that are telling our children that in order to be pretty they should look like this or that. Am I the only one who was shocked to see that they make shoes with heels for kids who can barely walk? Who doesn’t remember the the clothing company who started selling bikinis for young girls?

As I’ve mentioned many times before we have three young girls and they see mommy put on makeup, nail polish and her other essentials and they want to be like her. Every now and then we’ll let them do their finger nails (our 9 year old is getting pretty good at doing this for her younger sisters) but keeping the age appropriate part in mind is something we’re very aware of. We feel like, with everything going on in today’s society the last thing that we need to do is encourage them to grow up even faster.

The good people at Disney want to help you to navigate these age appropriate waters. As you can see in the picture above Disney Living actually offers up Disney inspired nail polish and other products for your little ones. The products are safe and age appropriate for your kids.

Here are a few tips that Disney Living shared with us on the topic:

Check out the tips below on ways to help your kids develop age-appropriate beauty habits:

• Let your daughter experiment with different clothes and makeup and always communicate with her during the process
• Stay connected with your children as they figure out their personal style
• Take a moment each day and let your child know how you feel about them– give positive reinforcement about the child as a person
