[quote=Anonymous]Screen time for potty training is a bad idea anyways- princess or not.

If you really want a well-rounded child, expose them to all things including princesses. If they like Princess movies, use that as an opportunity to talk about characteristics other than their dresses, etc and/or limit to some of the newer ones. But Disney is pretty well-loved for a reason. Beauty and the Beast is a favorite in our household with an almost 3 year old boy. He loves the songs and we sing together. We talk about how brave Belle is to change places with her father and how she stands up to the Beast when he gets angry while she is cleaning her wound. How she looks beyond the scary Beast to see the person inside. Weve also watched Brave and he likes to pretend to shoot arrows while he rides a horse. Talk about how strong Merida is. How she isnt afraid to be the best. How much she loves her family and how smart she is to know how to fish, and what berries are harmful.

Go with the energy and interests your child naturally has to teach them/talk to them/etc. Its much easier to gently change a rivers course then to stop a river. [/quote]
