When a child dresses up, it may seem innocuous and purely for playtime, but the roles they assume in play can often help shape their futures. After all, endless toys today are dedicated to career exploration for children, all of which may guide them down a certain path of discovery for their future. Here, we’ll take a look at the ways that dress up clothes can help your child determine their professional interests.

  • Children get exposure to different types of careers. The more exposure a child has to diverse professional opportunities, the better equipped they may be for the future when it comes time to decide their path. Early job exploration allows them to explore their strengths and weaknesses and passions and dislikes about a wide range of potential jobs. Dress up clothes can help facilitate this in a practical and tangible way for children, showing them that exploring options can be as easy as deciding who you’d like to be. In the future, they may also find it easier to change career paths, knowing that they don’t have to choose one career for their entire life, but can utilize many of their strengths. This may help relieve the pressure that many kids likely face to choose one path for life, and give them the wide variety of skills needed to succeed in the future.
  • Genderless outfits show them how both sexes can succeed. While many careers face gender stereotypes and norms in the workplace, many dress up clothes options from Teetot are genderless. Women make great firefighters and men make great nurses, despite preconcieved notions about which gender typically fills those roles. Teetot’s dress up clothes ensure that no matter what gender your child is, they can dress how they please and aspire to any career they desire.
  • They get to model for themselves, the professions they admire. If your child goes to the dentist and expresses interest in the dentist’s procedures, that may be a good indication that that is a potential career path they may want to explore. Unfortunately, for young children, they can’t easily explore those options logically until they are much older. With dress up clothes, children can bridge the gap between play and reality by mimicking those in the professions they admire. Those dress up clothes may also come with accessories that can help the child fulfill their play adequately and model skills they’ve already seen being performed.

Teetot’s dress up clothes can help your child potentially find their next great hobby or career for the future. From a firefighter to an astronaut, help your child explore all the world has to offer. For more information, contact us today
