[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2nd grade DD also loves LOL dolls, but I am not aware of them being used in the way that you described.

And boys are similar with pokemon cards and Yu-Gi-Oh cards as another poster mentioned.  Several of the boys in my 5th grade DS's class started playing Yu-Gi-Oh this year and my DS didn't have any of the cards.  So I bought him some.  It was probably the best $50 I have spent all year, as it gives him something to do at recess everyday and helps him fit in (which was a struggle last year).  [/quote]

You may want to speak with your DD to make sure.  I think many parents who support the habit and view the dolls as harmless are unaware of the social dynamics around them.

On the second point, what happened to running around at recess?  If kids are sitting around playing with cards/dolls during school recess, I would tell a staff member and get that to stop.  Children have recess in order to get some exercise, no?  [/quote]

No, they don’t have recess to get exercise, that’s P.E. They have recess so they can have some unstructured play/social/relaxation time during during the day.[/quote]

My DD is very sensitive and tells me the many ways she was wronged by her classmates each day, so  I am pretty confident that I would have heard if the dolls were a problem. As for running around at recess, my daughters class does but not all the 5th graders do. Last year my DS mostly read by himself at recess so I consider Yu-Gi-Oh with friends to be an improvement   [/quote]
