She loves to play house and school as well. <br /><br />I do not allow Hannah Montana or Icarly although she knows who they are ( I mean who doesn't!! ) <br /><br />I even go so far as to limit her "barbie" play. While she can play with Barbies, I do not allow the bratz dolls and the like. I think they just look ugly.<br /><br />You will find the balance in your home. <br /><br />I think the best thing is not to borrow trouble from tomorrow. Deal with what you have to deal with today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. :)a joyful nusiancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821470768286312284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644621885230406420.post-52988715791050346712010-07-18T18:41:38.592-07:002010-07-18T18:41:38.592-07:00My oldest daughter is 10 & I've really bee...My oldest daughter is 10 & I've really been working hard on this one. Avoiding ALL the tween tv & music has helped a lot & I am very conservative about what she wears. Even popular books have themes that try to encourage young girls to act grown up too soon. I've found it necessary to pre-read books before passing them on to her.<br /><br />I've nominated you for an award on my blog, plese stop by to claim it.<br /><br />http://ourfullnest.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-received-2-awards-this-week.htmlDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969173185045558595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644621885230406420.post-29414526725777631982010-07-16T21:33:01.059-07:002010-07-16T21:33:01.059-07:00I just happened to be reading today about legislat...I just happened to be reading today about legislation aimed at addressing media messages to young girls.<br /><br />http://www.shapingyouth.org/?p=11577Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828781965402002587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644621885230406420.post-78737874066979592152010-07-16T15:22:24.690-07:002010-07-16T15:22:24.690-07:00Thanks for the tag!

I still only have a baby but I'm already looking down that road!<br /><br />I read an interesting article in Parents Magazine (secular) about the whole "princess push". I won't be able to give you the whole gist, but I thought it rightly pointed out that the whole marketing push to "princess power" for BABIES and PRESCHOOLERS then leads to the marketing push for bling, a rock-star image, etc., FAR younger than the typical "tween" years -- like 5 and 6! Obviously, playing princess is wholesome and natural, but the toys and products out there pushing this are not the same as playing dress up! It's a hard balance to make. . . <br /><br />PRAYER! Reaching for our daughter's hearts! Teaching them to value their identity in CHRIST alone!!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644621885230406420.post-44976683472329482432010-07-16T14:00:55.238-07:002010-07-16T14:00:55.238-07:00Agreed!

I'm so thankful for my uneventful growing up years!Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356948275526610098noreply@blogger.com
