[quote=Anonymous]Yes, we use our role as parents to define boundaries. In addition to holding off on watching Cinderella until she was, gasp, 6 or 7, we STILL don't let her drop LSD, which would no doubt let her imagination run wild in all sorts of ways. Too cruel, I know. [/quote] Nicely said. Imagination and creativity actually thrive within some healthy boundaries, and anyway, if we parents choose to offer to counter-balance to the prevailing princess-juggernaut, childhood is hardly the "free space" for finding oneself it should be. My DD has the rest of their lives to let multi-billion-dollar advertising cram their messages in. It doesn't need to start in preschool. I applaud parents caring about this issue.[/quote]
