How do children express themselves through clothing? The impact of color on a child's psyche.

The color palette of children's clothing is crucial. Carefully selected colors in a child's immediate environment influence their mood and sensitivity. Children don't immediately perceive all shades. How does a toddler's vision develop? What effect do colors have on a child's psyche?

How do children see colors?

Although babies begin to perceive the full range of colors very quickly, not everyone realizes that babies don't see everything from the first few days of life. Immediately after birth, they perceive the world as a collection of blurred shapes. A few weeks later, still in their first month, they are able to perceive objects in colors such as yellow, orange, red, turquoise, aquamarine, and purple. By the second month of life, babies can distinguish between yellow and green, and a month later, yellow and red. By the turn of the third and fourth months, babies can already recognize the full range of colors, just like adults.

Clothes colors in a baby's world

Scientists have proven that colors have an impact on a child's psyche. Therefore, introducing specific colors into their world, even through clothing, should be considered. Newborns and infants respond best to neutral colors—beige, nude pink, and cream. This is because these shades remind them of their mother's skin tone. Therefore, clothing chosen in harmonious, nude shades will have a beneficial effect on children. Infants also perceive warm colors—red, yellow, and orange—as pleasant. Such colors put children in a good mood and help develop their minds.

When it comes to bright shades and high color contrasts in toddler clothing, be careful. While these colors stimulate a child's brain, too much of them can do more harm than good. Too many bright colors in clothing can overstimulate a toddler, leading to increased crying and difficulty falling asleep.

To summarize: yellow, red, and orange will stimulate your child, while white, green, purple, and blue will calm them down. When choosing colors for your child's wardrobe, remember to maintain balance. Too much green in a child's environment can be depressing, while too much red can cause irritation.
