UNICEF – PRINCESS SYNDROME

Children who suffer from #PrincessSyndrome live life as a fairy-tale: focusing only on the pretty things, putting themselves as the center of the universe, and obsessing about their look. It can be fun and whimsical when a child is a toddler, it can also set the tone for how they develop into a young person, influencing their self-esteem, their dependence on others, how they take care of themselves and how empowered they feel in their life.

UNICEF is boldly changing the tone for this conversation. And the intention is exactly that, start a conversation. Expecting kids, at age 3, 4, or 5 to understand that life is better if you have solid values, good friends and a healthy lifestyle, in comparison to the princess lifestyle, is unrealistic.
