You don't need to see a funny parenting meme to know that kids have some of the most creative and endearing ways of expressing themselves. One of the best things you can do as a parent is to nurture that side of them and encourage them to convey their thoughts and emotions, whether it's through the imaginary games they play or the art they create.

And if it's through how they decide to dress? Well then sit back and let them take the lead. After all, allowing your child to develop their own unique sense of style can help them gain autonomy and confidence. If it's your daughter we're talking about, inspire her to go as big and bold with her outfit as she wants. Athleta Girl has all the bright, fun, and playful pieces she could need to feel perfectly herself, starting with the Chit Chat Tight.

If bright, poppy hues and playful patterns are what appeal to her, she'll love the High Rise Powervita Chit Chat Tight in a vivid pink paired with a tie-dye tee. The stay-put waistband and buttery-soft fabric of the leggings will keep her comfortable through it all, from art projects to dance practice to music lessons, while the tie-dye gives a fun nod to her creative side.

She's fierce, determined, and independent, and isn't afraid to let you know it. Whether it's school or sports, she tackles everything head-on. Match her bold spirit with an equally bold print, like camo, and fuss-free fits that allow her to focus her energy on the task at hand. The High Rise Chit Chat Tight is soft and breathable for all-day comfort, as are a simple quarter zip hoodie and bra.
