Jenna Bush Hager recently delved into a prevalent trend among tweens that has affected her daughter. She speculated as to where the craze came from.
Jenna Bush Hager shared that her 10-year-old daughter, Mila, had recently made an innocent trip to Target for skin care items, which sparked the conversation about tweens and skincare routines; the topic swiftly ignited a dialogue among her followers.
A juxtaposition of opinions emerged, with some labeling the trend “ridiculous” and calling on parents to “be strong mamas and put your foot down over this nonsense.” Others told Hager she should be happy her daughter wanted to care for her skin. Hager speculated that TikTok was influencing children to have skincare routines far too young.
Hager shared that her daughter was disappointed that she never seemed to care about her skincare purchases, but Hager told her daughter that wasn’t the case. Hager simply thought that her daughter didn’t need any skincare because her skin was already beautiful.
The incident of Hager’s daughter purchasing skincare items at Target comes after an event two months prior when Hager’s daughter requested a Green Light Card. In an effort to display her maturity, the young girl crafted a persuasive PowerPoint presentation to advocate for her financial independence, a move that ultimately won her father’s approval.
Yet, when it comes to technology, Hager maintains a different stance. She’s resolute that her daughter will not receive a phone, prioritizing physical engagement with the world around her over digital immersion. However, Hager knows that her daughter can access her friends’ phones and social media accounts even though she doesn’t have her own.
