[quote=Anonymous]I would follow the kid's lead and try and figure out how they took the award. If they see it as praise for their creativity, that's different than if they think the way they dress determines the attention they should get. as for mom of the blonde girl and those defending her, WOW. I was brunette at that age and VERY, VERY conscious that that made me less pretty than if I'd been blonde. I couldn't even relate to blonde characters or dolls because they seemed so different from me. It's not that anyone ever said or implied that brunette was not pretty, it's that SO MANY images of beauty were blonde. I was not a dumb kid and could easily read between the lines: "your looks are less desirable." I guess the world is still sending that message loud and clear to little girls. What a shame.[/quote]
