[quote=Anonymous]My younger daughter is 5 and is increasingly focused on her appearance. She wants to wear dresses so she can "look pretty" and doesn't want to play outside because she says she could get dirty and won't look nice. She asks to borrow lip gloss in the morning and spends time in front of the mirror putting it on and examining herself, sometimes asking us if she's pretty enough. Her older sister is a tomboy, only interested in playing on the playground and getting dirty, I'm not sure where this is coming from or if I should be concerned. I'm sure she gets a lot of messages about appearance from outside our home but as a family we're fairly crunchy, she doesn't see her parents or sister spend much time on appearances. Is this a stage, or is she just going to be more of a princess than her big sister?[/quote]
