SPRING IS AROUND THE CORNER, AND THAT MEANS WARMER WEATHER, BASEBALL SEASON
(HOPEFULLY), AND PUTTING AWAY THOSE STUFFY PARKAS. AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO
CELEBRATE THAN BY SHRUGGING ON THE CLASSIC SHOULDER SEASON STAPLE, THE DENIM
JACKET? IF IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE FROM GOLD MINERS TO REBELS WITHOUT
CAUSES, A SOLID DENIM JACKET SHOULD BE A PART OF YOUR WARDROBE, TOO.

TIPS AND TRICKS



FIND THE RIGHT FIT
A GOOD DENIM JACKET WILL LAST YOU FOR A LONG TIME. BUT IF IT DOESN’T FIT RIGHT,
IT WON’T MAKE MANY APPEARANCES. IT SHOULD BE SNUG AROUND THE SHOULDERS WITH THE
SHOULDER SEAM SITTING ON OR JUST BELOW YOUR SHOULDERS. THE SLEEVES SHOULD HIT
JUST AT YOUR WRIST — ANY FURTHER AND THE JACKET WILL SEEM WAY TOO LARGE FOR YOU.
AND UNLIKE MOST JACKETS, IT SHOULD FALL RIGHT AT YOUR HIPS. IF IT DROPS BELOW
YOUR BELTLINE, KEEP SHOPPING.

TIPS AND TRICKS



WANT TO RAISE AN HONEST KID? BE AUTHORITATIVE, NOT AUTHORITARIAN

RAISING HONEST KIDS REQUIRES A LOT OF PATIENCE. AS KIDS AGE, AND THEIR LIFE
CHANGES AT SCALE, IT’S CRITICAL THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING HONEST WITH THEIR
PARENTS. THAT MEANS THINKING HARD ABOUT PUNISHMENTS. 

“PARENTS SHOULD BE WILLING TO AT LEAST GIVE THEIR KIDS CREDIT FOR TALKING ABOUT
[THINGS THEY MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE FOR.],” SAYS CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST GENE BERESIN,
WHO HEADS UP THE CLAY CENTER FOR YOUNG HEALTHY MINDS AT MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL
HOSPITAL. “THEY DON’T NECESSARILY NEED TO CHANGE THE RULES. BUT PARENTS WHO ONLY
SAY ‘YOU BROKE THE RULES AND THERE’S NO TALKING ABOUT THIS THING,’ HAVE KIDS WHO
DON’T BELIEVE THEY CAN TALK TO THEIR PARENTS.”

WHEN KIDS BREAK THE RULES, THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME CONSEQUENCES FOR THAT BEHAVIOR.
BUT DISCUSSING AND EXPLAINING THOSE RULES, WHILE ALSO PRAISING YOUR KID FOR
BEING HONEST, WILL HELP THEM CONTINUE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE WHEN
THE STAKES COULD BE RAISED.

WANT TO RAISE AN HONEST KID (WITHIN REASON)? HERE ARE A FEW MORE POINTERS TO
KEEP IN MIND.
