Kim Kardashian West was criticized by fans for Letting North West Design Her Own Clothes



It won't be a surprise to anyone who knows a thing about Kim Kardashian West that her 3-year-old daughter North is a little fashionista.
The trendy tot has been spotted in everything from adorable tutus to biker jackets.
When one follower asked Kardashian West on Twitter,
“Does North pick her own looks or have favorite outfits to pick from?”
the reality star, entrepreneur, and mom of two has this to say:







Of course, most people can’t relate to a child being able to design her own bespoke clothing, but anyone with a toddler knows they certainly have opinions about what they wear. In North’s case, she happens to have a creative outlet for it. It’s also common for toddlers to become passionate about something, whether that’s dress-up, playing with trains, or painting. In North’s case, it’s fashion, and based on the fact that both her mom and her dad Kanye West are passionate about it as well, it’s understandable that their daughter would be into it.


According to Elizabeth Lombardo, clinical psychologist and author of Better Than Perfect: 7 Steps to Crush Your Inner Critic and Create a Life You Love, tells Yahoo Style.
“There is nothing wrong with a child being creative,”
 “In fact, it’s a great quality to cultivate in our children. Some children may choose their own crayons or markers that they use to make a painting. In this case, Kim can afford to have North choose her fabric that she then can help create into clothing. While it is not something that most people could afford to do, it certainly doesn’t make it wrong.”

She adds:
“As parents, we want to cultivate qualities and interests that our children already have in a way that could be useful to them in terms of learning and in terms of fulfillment.”

Lombardo also notes that allowing North to design to her own clothing is better than simply buying her expensive outfits.
“Giving her the opportunity to be part of her clothing gives her a sense of purpose and contribution,”
 she says,
“two important characteristics in preventing entitlement and fostering true happiness.”
