Kids hairstyle

Recently, parents are helping the children to have suitable and coolest hairstyle. However, selecting children haircuts can be difficult sometimes due to the rules and regulation from school may require the children to have certain standard of hairstyles.
Besides, some group of parents may have the classic argument towards their children. They prefer to help their children to have a stylish haircuts but at the same time will not breaking the rules from school. Kids nowadays are getting serious when it comes to their hairstyles. Some of the parents may not know it but the children also have their own opinions with regards to the hairstyle which can make them look cool.  Of course, it must also be approved by the parents.

In Malaysia, we can observe there is hundred of example of stylish haircuts around us everyday. Below are some of the example in Malaysia today:

Superhero Clothing

Superhero is one of the character that we couldn't forget throughout the entire life. While superhero are also the hero in every children eyes. Thank in large part to blockbuster movies such as "Avengers" and "The Dark Knight", children love to dress as theirs favorite superheroes. 

A fascination with superheroes can benefit a child in many ways, including boosting his self-confidence and making him feel powerful. Superheroes isn't the only example of the positive powers of superhero worship. In some cases, superheroes can teach children how to be strong. Some of the parents encouraged their children to explore superheroes, because is able to help their childhood become better. 

Some of parents might have the same thinking toward their children by identifying with the culture's heroes and superheroes, children can begin to feel like they are aligning with what is good and can develop their own agency, power, and value in the world.

Furthermore, there are always the classic arguments against kids having an interest in superheroes. They're marketing ploys. They take children out of reality.Superheroes come with a heaping helping of violence. And there are also concerns that boys are getting the wrong idea, seeing their future selves as either heroes or victims. However, in my opinion these are valid concerns, but I still sees superheroes as the good guys when it comes to their influence on children.

Times have changed

Currently children dressing up like adults and having the responsibility of feeding and caring for their younger siblings. This could be happening around us in our family and the children tend to being forced to grow up too fast. Some group of people may argue that why should the children dress up like a little mini adults. This group of people used to dress their own children in the most comfortable clothes that they could run in and mess up because that's what childhood is all about.

However, the trend of kids fashion in Malaysia is increasing. Children today are influenced by what they see in the media, by the technology they are exposed to, and what they see in the environment around them. While the parents are influenced by their children on decision of purchasing. There is no gender difference between boys and girls in the extent of their influence on parental purchases. However, products requested by girls when shopping with parents tend to vary widely from those requested by boys. The tactics most used by Malaysian children to get their requests accorded were found to be pressure tactics, rational persuasion and upward appeal.
