[quote=Anonymous]If you’re not into the princess programming, just stopping showing it to her and her interest will fade at this age. She’ll ask for it for a while, but if you just redirect to something else she always enjoys, she’ll let it go. This happened to us when we had to leave or 2.5 yr old with grandma for a weekend while we went to a funeral. Grandma showed her some Disney stuff she liked, but when I tried watching it with her later, I was bothered by the message (the white princesses lived in a castle and had servants, and their commoner friends, one of whom was black, oohed and she’d over it all and didn’t have manners— WTF?). So we just didn’t allow her to watch it anymore, and if she asked, we suggested something else. It faded. Not a guarantee that she won’t go through a Princess phase later (obviously she likes it, so she probably will) but at 2 you actually have a lot of control over what she’s exposed to and can guide it a little more.[/quote]
