I followed the measuring instructions and the leo fits perfectly. I received updates when the leo will ship. The leo arrived on time and looks great. My daughter loves it. The colors are bright and vibrant

Super cute, but when it was sewn together, the stretchy rubber wasn't sewn together well in the groin area. My daughter won't wear it because it hurts

5 Different Ways To Encourage Your Child’s Hobbies

5 Different Ways To Encourage Your Child’s Hobbies

Hobbies allow kids to explore interests and foster skills. From learning a new instrument to playing a competitive sport, a child has various opportunities to choose from and learn to master. Connecting with a hobby or interest develops certain skills set early on and provides opportunities to meet other people. Ensuring your child continues to explore and thrive in their interests enhances their experiences and builds stronger relationships. Here are five different ways to encourage your child’s hobbies.

Show Your Support

Showing your support toward your child’s hobbies motivates them to continue and allows them to strengthen their identity further. One of the major challenges every growing person faces is discovering the million-dollar question of who they are. Curating preferences and interests solidifies one’s personality and identity. So framing their artwork, attending a show or making time in your schedule for their hobbies shows your support and helps your child establish who they are.

Build Their Confidence

Whether you want to help develop your child’s confidence as a gymnast or musician, supporting them offers a wide range of benefits for their development. In line with showing your support for your child’s hobbies, building their confidence aids in their self-discovery journey and enhances their experiences. No matter the age, surging with confidence allows you to release anxiety and fully immerse yourself in various scenarios and activities.

It also motivates you to push forward and continue growing your skills, interests and self. Build your child’s confidence in their hobby by treating them to rewards after performances, complimenting them on their work and sharing their talents with others.

Avoid Adding Pressure

Applying too much pressure on your child to succeed or pursue a set hobby leads to adverse reactions that demotivate them, break their confidence and lead to lots of self-doubts. Too much pressure sends the body and mind into panic mode. It bubbles anxious and overwhelming feelings that tint one’s experience and perspective. Drawing a healthy line between pressure and encouragement reduces the risks of overwhelming your child, allows them to move at their own and optimal pace and lets them engage without added stress.

Establish Open Communication

Fostering hobbies is an exploration process, meaning that sometimes children will change their minds and decide they no longer want to pursue a set interest. Establishing open communication allows your child to open up to you if they no longer wish to continue a hobby without the guilt of feeling like that disappointed you. It also creates a chance for them to let you in on any issues with their coach, teacher or experiences. The more open communication available, the stronger your relationship with your child grows.

Allow Room for Independence

Remember that your child’s hobbies should be their interests and not yours. Allowing them to choose their own extracurricular activities lets them explore their identity without warped influences. Plus, it creates independence and a chance to grow to their full potential. Also, keep in mind that they are the star of this show and avoid overstepping, stealing the limelight and interfering too much with their exploration process and hobbies.

Implementing these five different ways to encourage your child’s hobbies establishes a strong support system for your child to develop their identity. With you in their corner, encouraging them to flourish and explore their interests, your child will continue to grow into a skilled, confident and self-assured person.
