As parents we must listen to our kids,learn what they enjoy and encourage them to be the
they can be.Words can't express the pride I felt as I volunteered myself as a hair model and
witnessed my young cousin use her hands as a sculptor and my hair as clay.To my surprise,
she bore a love for cosmetology and had been using every opportunity to learn by
observation. Just for kicks she had chosen to create a beautiful braided up-do
for her twin sister. My mouth dropped in amazement as I inspected the hair and could find nothing to
say but "Wow!" She made such a favorable impression that I have decided to become her first
complimentary,ofcourse,client.
I have shared this story to say how important it is to allow our babies to flourish at their
pace in their own individual strengths. Too often we witness kids that grow into adults with no
purpose and no direction. Or they attempt to make money illegally which only leads to life in prison
or worse. As single parents we are often the only one present, so we must be even more observant
and willing to sacrifice what we can to help them seize their potential. If you find that your child
loves decorating their room,introduce them to the world of interior decorating;if they enjoy putting
their outfits together, groom them toward the world of fashion.....and if they love experimenting with
various hairstyles, open the door for them to your local cosmetology class or beauty school.
You just never know what creativity is lying dormant in your child just waiting to be released!
