"Tailor Made"

This is my 7yr old son Tahir. For awhile he didn't like that he was tall and thin. hey dad and uncles are 6'6" 6'5" and 6'7" and I am very small framed genetics plays a major role in his build. sorry son. He often get call names for it. Sadly it wasn't always the peers in school. I begun to notice he didn't like to wear shorts because he was told his legs were to skinny. So it took us letting him know you are just the way God made you. now he embraces every part of who he is. Though from time to time he may have to hear it. He is 7. But to him he sees himself with big muscles and abs. Hey you are what you think and the best way to embrace your greatness is to think of yourself in a positive light.



Teach your children that they are tailor made, and when they were created God only had them in mind. There is only one like them and that makes them a big deal. They will come across so many people that will try to influence changes in their appearance to make them what they feel they should be, by forgetting who they really are. It's our job to teach them just how wonderful they are.

  1. Tailor made-- I like that description! Our children range from small framed to tall--we use the term "petite" for the shorter ones! :-) All in God's plan!

  2. I agree and we have to remind them of this often, because the world will tell them otherwise
