[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten? NO. These dolls are for 8 and up. Buy her the historical books and read them to her. She'll settle on one of the historical characters and then wish and wish, and "save her pennies" and then for her birthday, you can get her the the doll and all friends/relatives can get her various accessories. That's a great way to do it, imo. [b]You buy her a doll now and she'll thrash i[/b]t and it won't be special like if you did it the other way. [/quote] Not all children trash their toys. Some children are very careful of how they treat their possessions.[/quote] This. Our dd received and AG in K and it's still in great condition. I, personally, would let her get the doll she wants. It's an expensive toy to get and then realize she doesn't like it b/c it's not the one she wanted. Also, I think you need to just not worry about this issue so much. I was an olive-skinned, dark haired child with blond barbies (there was really nothing else back then). This did not affect me or cause be to believe that blond/skinny was the ideal standard in this country. As long as you continue to speak to your child about all of these issues in age appropriate ways, it will be fine.[/quote]
