Socks and Self-Expression
I first started thinking about kids' socks when my eldest son, Charlie, was four years old. It was then that he began to use socks as a form of self-expression.
There were sock choices that pulled a monotone outfit together. And sock choices that made a bold outfit even bolder. No matter the mood our the outfit, socks played a key part in helping Charlie reflect his personal style.
We know that self-expression can take many forms in kids, such as through play, art, and music. And while socks may seem like a small and insignificant part of a child's wardrobe, they are an important way for kids to express themselves, and to feel like they have some control over their appearance.
I am a BIG believer in allowing children to explore and express themselves though their personal style to develop identity, creativity, self-confidence, and emotional intelligence.
Self-expression is a vehicle for kids to understanding their own feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. And when children are able to express themselves, they feel more confident and capable, and they are better able to form healthy relationships with others.
Qool Socks were designed to be great every day socks. But, most importantly, they allow for creative flair and mixing and matching. Let's let the kids go wild with their socks.
