Let their personality shine through their school uniform
School uniforms are a staple of the Australian school system. They save time and money, and promote equality amongst school children. They can even help booster school spirit. Often, however, as children age they come to dislike wearing a uniform because they feel like they cannot express their individuality when they have to wear the same outfit as everyone else. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways for your child to show off their unique personality even while wearing that dreaded school uniform.
– Let them choose their school supplies.
The school supplies needed for class can be a great way for them to express their style and taste outside of their kids’ schoolwear. Let your child pick out their own backpack, folders, binders, pens, and pencils.
– Let your children make as many choices as possible.
If your child’s school lets students choose from different uniform options, give them the freedom to make those choices. For example, if you have a daughter, she might be able to choose between pants and a skirt.
– Let them pick their hairstyle.
If your child is feeling like their self-expression is being restricted, give them the freedom to do what they want with their hair. Let them choose their own hairstyle and how they wear it to school.
– If permitted, let them accessorise.
Accessories can really liven up a school uniform. If your kids’ school uniforms are starting to make them feel restricted and unhappy, cheer them up by letting them wear a unique accessory. Many schools have restrictions on the type of accessories allowed, so make sure you review the school’s dress code.
Allowing some leeway and being aware of your child’s individuality will help your kids’ school uniforms reflect their personality, not hide it! They will be more encouraged to go to school!
