What's the book about?

The backbone of the book is based upon the fact that we all live in a very superficial and judgmental society. That is something we can not change but have to accept as a fact. It is a hard truth to swallow but like I said it is something we all need to realize. The only thing we can do is to package ourselves in a way that the judgmental world we live in would view us in a different light.

Hence assuming that Parents want their children to be successful. The parents' primary role to cloth their child with success to prepare them for a world that is not only judgmental but also very superficial.

I bring in a fashion analogy to illustrate the different aspects of how a parent can groom their child in prepare them to make a good first and lasting impression in the eyes of the world.

Each piece of clothing form a full wardrobe for the child to feel equipped to be at her best at all times.

However, I also focus on the fact that ....yes it is vital to please the world but it is also very important to ensure that the child feels comfortable in the clothing that they wear.

I distinctly emphasize that life is all about choices and the parents can not choose for their children. What they can do is shape how their child chooses and pray that the child follows in the right direction.

I mention that it is essential that the parent provide a full wardrobe for their child. Why? Well the child can't go out naked, so they would have to go shopping if the parent does not provide the essential clothing at home.

Shopping represents: Peer pressure and influence they every child encounters and sometime internalizes into their being. They bring home these 'clothing' or beliefs and add it to their wardrobe at home.

I am not trying to say that the parent is left to blame if they do not provide for the child at home, but they are left without a concrete argument against their child if they do not agree with the practices their child is adopting from outside of the home.

Next I talk about the importance of not only providing a full wardrobe for their child.... but a wardrobe that....

1. is of QUALITY

2. in their SIZE

3. in STYLE: As the child is not going to wear something that is from the 1920s

4. FITS their unique BODY SHAPE: each of us are born with unique strengths and weakness, parents need to realize that a parenting style of technique is not a one size fits all


I say that our clothing is an expression of who we are. As a child and a young adult, I will not put on something that I do not feel comfortable and confident in. This is crucial and parents need to realise that they can not force doctrians on us without asking how we feel or think.
