This week’s Mom Minute episode for The Mom’s View has nothing to do with hairstyles, it is about role models for our children.
I know this is a resonating topic given what is happening to many of the young and influential Hollywood celebrities today. It is so tough to watch the tragedies happen, the decisions they are making, and we can surely blame the media as being a huge part of the problem!
What I do know is that actions always have consequences, and we can choose the former but not the latter. Unfortunately, in Hollywood, the latter makes the news all too often. We have seen them in the gossip magazine headlines at the grocery store checkout counter.. Amanda Bynes, Brittany Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, etc. The list can go on, and it has for decades past.
Many of you know that CGH#4 is a huge Taylor Swift fan, who I swear has the best hairstyles as a celeb, and I am OK with that right now… but just as soon as I start seeing my daughter write subliminal songs about ending her elementary school “crushes”, I will pull back the reigns quite a bit!
When it comes to role models for my children, I personally try to steer them in the direction of people with whom they interact and have a relationship. People I trust. For example, these role models can be a teacher, scout leaders, coach, family friend, church youth leader, friend’s parent, neighbor, or extended family member.
{I, of course, would hope that my children would list me as one of their role models, but oftentimes the teen mind conveniently “forgets” that connection until they are all the way through the teenage years.}

This is such an adorable style. I know my 15 & 17yos will love it. Ok, maybe not the sitting still part, but the outcome, most definitely. Keep up the good work.

I couldn’t help but notice your shirt in this video… is it the same shirt that Brooklyn wore for the first day of school?
Awesome Mindy, I hope and Pray that if I am ever looked up to as a. Role model by my kids or oaths that I always make good choices and set a great example. I was lucky enough to have amazing role models in my life, including my Mother and if I can be even half the woman she was then I know au could make a difference. Thanks for your influence and example 🙂
