Effect-Fashion

Effect of Fashion on Child Development and His Cognition

 “Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, or furniture. "Fashion" refers to a distinctive; however, often-habitual trend in a look and dress up of a person, as well as to prevailing styles in behavior”

Ok friend I hope you understand the meaning of fashion and its related term but here I am raising a big issue which is the other side of the fashion that is NEGATIVE IMPACT OF FASHION OVER OUR MINDS. As we all know brain is just a complex neurological system and work with synaptic connections, as we develop and grow, we slowly develop new connections every single day, this generally called learning. During my practices of child psychology I had seen some of major and drastic changes, in the behavior of children’s , which seriously affecting the normal growth of children’s . Some of them are;-

1)    Peers Pressure

2)    Anorexia

3)    Habit Of Stealing

4)    Unable To Manage Money

5)    Low Self Image

6)    Low Concentration

1)- Peer Pressure –

As all know the power of peer pressure, it create constant obsession in the mind of the child to make him superior over other , when we talk this in fashion prospective  it get slightly toward lethal side, child get easy influence with T.V , friend and surrounding . They follow the style, look , manner of behavior and start a fantasy life which harm when we grow and unable to maintain the same level of effectiveness.

2)- Anorexia-

Eating disorder is directly connected with the development psychological aspect of the personality.  In this problem child see the magazines , news papers and get impressed by celebrities and try to look and wear as same as there hero’s,  they try to force their self physically to maintained their look and feel respected. But when this process goes long it creates a kind of obsession in the mind the child. He may try to escape meal and force his body to fit in the fram of celebrity, this is a disorder and it would lead person toward personality problems.  

3)- Habit Of Stealing –

All type of fashion need money , in our region (INDIA) the concept of pocket money is very limited, the children get only the basic  but for the fashion stuff money is required that’s why money arrangement is the big issue  so I had seen some case that child developed stealing habit and lying.

4)- Lower Money Management –

Because of the content obsession of new cloth, new style , children just unable to develop senses of saving and always feel that they need more money, this sense lower the saving thinking.

5)- Low Self Esteem:-

When there is constant need to look better, feel amazing, the strive go endlessly gratification and slowly this develop a sense of inadequacy and child develop feeling that he don’t look better, he wouldn’t have such magical personality, cloth and status which give him name and fame then a constant low feeling develop and this will create a low self stem child development, which is very harmful of the development of the personality.    

6) - Low ConcentrationLevel;-

Effect of fashion over academic is now quite normal child slowly distracted toward fashion and social attention and he lose steam of study, it directly affect over concentration level which lower our capacity to memorize thing, this lower concentration reduce the chances of success in academic areas of the child.
