[quote=Anonymous]OP - I get it. My daughter has a few friends with iPhones and Stanleys and better skin care routines than most adults I know. And we aren’t in a really high income area for the DC area (houses are 850k-1M). The girls aren’t actually anymore “sophisticated” than their classmates, and are either only or oldest kids. The common denominator seems to be parents who are very nice, but also not very strict and/or desperate for their kids to fit in. We’ve had a lot of talks with our daughter about how it is peer pressure and some of this stuff just is too grown up for kids. Luckily she has a cousin in her 20s she adores who also talks to her about what isn’t age appropriate for 9-10 year olds, so it’s not just her uncool parents saying that. It’s tough and I feel sad for all these girls who can’t just be kids for a little longer. And I dread when my daughter is a little older and will get sneakier about this stuff. Luckily she’s listening to us now. [/quote]
