I love working with tweens. They speak their minds openly, and you always know where you stand with them. I went upstairs at church recently and within 3 minutes I was told that my sweater looked like I was wearing a paper sack and within 5 minutes later another girl told me I looked like I was growing a mullet. One can't take their comments too seriously, but I think, I had my hair cut with in 24 hours, and I haven't worn a sweater since. The truth is, they have more of an eye for these things than I do. So I find it healthy to get exposure to their raw opinions. You win some; you lose more; and you learn a lot.
My daughter is in this tween stage. Some of the outfits she puts on I would not have put together, but before I say too much to her, I try to keep in mind that I may not have a fashion clue.
She still has me dry her hair after her showers. I used to try to convince and teach her to do it herself, but not so much anymore. I've changed. I think I'll dry her hair as long as she'll let me.
