The life of a child is never particularly easy. Sure we probably all envy their energy, exuberance and that fact that they have the rest of their life in front of them, but we all quickly forget the difficulties and problems that we faced as children. There aren’t many of us who didn’t probably go through a bad case of acne, bullying or maybe even just wearing the wrong footwear. They may not seem that bad now but as a child these were disastrous events. In fact things have only gotten worse for children recent years. The increase in media, fashion and celebrity coverage has meant that the pressure to conform to unrealistic stereotypes and send a fortune on fashion has never been higher.

In all the examples listed above, problems occurred because the child stood out in some way. As parents, we need to encourage individuality whilst insuring our children don’t stand out for the wrong reasons. When a child stands out for the wrong reasons, then this is when problems can occur.

It may sound somewhat improbable, but children can even be singled out due to the type of footwear they own. With all the other costs of being a parent, kid’s footwear probably comes quite low down on the list of importance. However, whatever the price is for having correctly fitting, trendy shoes that are vital for your child’s development is a price worth paying.
