While watching the “Today Show” this morning, I was introduced to a teen girls singing group that I’d not heard of before. The Clique Girlz are three girls (ages 12-14) who have been singing as a group since 2003. Five years!

This was remarkable to me because it seems many pre-teens and teens these days bounce from one activity to the next. It’s always nice to see kids who have really dedicated themselves to one thing. I know there are kids who can dedicate themselves to three or four sports a year, good grades, church activities, etc. And maybe the Clique Girlz do that, too.

I just think that sometimes we overschedule kids. Or we allow them to overschedule themselves—in the interests of staying busy to stay out of trouble, building up activities to put on college applications, or just because our children have a wide variety of interests.

At any rate, the song the Clique Girlz performed was age appropriate, they were dressed age appropriately, and definitely came off as regular teens with just a touch of celebrity. Hopefully I won’t regret saying this one day but I think the Clique Girlz are a wholesome group you can introduce your pre-teen or teen to. In the future, I hope to spotlight more child/teen celebs that you can feel good about.
