[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the Barbie haters.. we got one of the cheaper barbies for DD for Christmas. She’s dressed like a doctor and has a totally different “shape” than traditional Barbie. DD thinks she’s great. There are so many Barbie options now. [b]Adults need to stop projecting their toy issues on their kids.[/b] They aren’t getting body image issues because of Barbie. They’re getting body issues because of adult messages about bodies. [/quote] This statement sums up this entire thread. I don’t have boys, but I do have girls and the hours & hours of joy and pretend play my girls got from Barbies is priceless. They prefer brown-haired or darker skinned Barbies. Lots of choices now. But, go on. Give your kid an iPad instead. [/quote] I did pretend play with lots of dolls that weren't barbies. Why does it have to be barbie? Why does everyone have to be the same growing up with the same toys?[/quote]
