Little girls go through a lot of different phases. They go through times of wanting to play with piano dollies and nothing else. A month later they might throw their piano dolly away for a new toy. It could be dolls or stuffed animals or something else. Some girls prefer to take their imagination outside and play in the dirt. Making fairy homes out of moss and twigs can be more exciting than anything else. Little girls are full of imagination and things out the gluteus maximus but eventually they all start to change a little. Beauty may being to take precedent to their dolls. Instead of doing their dolls makeup or braiding doll hair, they may worry more about their own. Naturally there are always girls who are not too interested in these types of things, but there are some that really love it. Parents may feel a little sad when this happens, but it is really inevitable. You can try to preserve their innocence, but they will grow up no matter what you do. The best thing to do when this happens is to simply embrace it. This can be a fun time for a mother actually. Take advantage of the fun experiences you can have with your daughter during this time. Teaching her how to do makeup the right way or do her hair nicely. You might not be the best at picking out her new taste in clothing, but who knows. You can have a lot of fun with your daughter during this time. However if you find that this stage is not you strong suit, here is some advice. When it comes to clothing, you have to let her experiment and find what works for her. Even if at first you do not love what she is picking out, you have to give it to her. Let her find what works for her even if it takes her a few years to realize that something is not cute or flattering. If you continue to dictate how she expresses herself, she will only resent you. Makeup is another story too. You might feel the need to restrict her. Makeup can make people look much older than they really are, so you might be a little scared when she starts to wear them. She will probably start out wearing too much and slowly learn that it isn't how it should be. She has to find out what looks good on her. Maybe give her some tips on how to apply makeup and what looks good with her skin type. Lastly, when she turns into a teenager you might have to deal with the idea of her beginning her interest in boys. Every parent deals with this differently. The worst thing to do, however, is to forbid dating. Your daughter will only be harmed by your insisting on holding her back from growing up. Embrace her growing up and guide her along with it. Keep her safe but also allow her to branch out a little bit.
