These days, it’s not uncommon to see children with earrings. Both boys and girls will sometimes get their ears pierced. A guardian’s permission is often required to have the initial piercing performed. From there, children need to choose their own earrings. Parents should engage their children in this process and ensure the best earrings for children are chosen. Far too many parents don’t put enough effort into the selection process.
First and foremost, parents should choose earrings with non-allergenic materials. Some people have allergic reactions to certain types of metals and plastics after all. The earrings should then be safe and tasteful for a younger person as well as stylish. Also, it never hurts to avoid purchasing an expensive pair of earrings. Most boys and girls are prone to losing earrings, and nothing is worse than losing an expensive pair.
