These were all ideas that my mom didn't want us to have in our heads as little girls. So instead we were permitted to play with American Girl Dolls and Bitty Babies. Life continued on and I never thought more about it till now.
Recently I have come across two different commercials for Barbie Dolls. The first one promotes everything my mom did not want her little girls to be thinking about. Its all about the material items and their looks no elementary girl should be concerned about. The second commercial changed my view on Barbie Dolls. It made me think if this is what Barbie Dolls are all about, then I want my little girls to have one.
What do you think?
Wow, that video was awesome! I love the idea they are promoting. I think it was awesome to see the little girls imagining different professions they could be when they grow up. I think that it is important to help foster those dreams early on in children, so that they gain the confidence to go after their dreams as they become older.
ReplyDeleteI love this commercial! I think that barbies can be such a good thing, but it all depends on what your children are seeing them used for. This commercial is perfect. When I was little I played with Barbies all the time, and I did not have any of the negative thoughts. My barbies were mom's, teachers, siblings, and more. All things I wanted to become.
