The Good, The Bad and The Burning
And to think I was up in arms about Playboy t-shirts for 10 year olds!
I know many little girls want to be like their mom's. If they see mom cooking (which isn't always done because its tradition -_-) they will want to help. So let them pretend with a fake stove and plates. They see mom wearing heels, they try to wear their mom's heels but they are obviously too big. What is the harm in letting them have a pair to wear for fun or on special occasions?
Dolls are often ways to show children to care for or love other things. There is definitely no harm in that. I know I want my children to be loving towards everything. Maybe these things are character building.
Yes, some things are too extreme like the pants with Juicy or the Hooter's shirts but these other things are just for fun.
The high heels for infants? BAD IDEA. That is so screwed up on so many levels that I don't know where to begin.
But giving them to kids who can't yet walk? That's got to be on a chinese-foot-binding level of stupidity.
As for the sewing machines and toy kitchens though, I have a sister who is 5, and all she wants to play with is those. My brother (3), however, plays with both the animals and dinosaurs and trucks that are expected of boys, but plays with his sisters toys as well, while she won't ever go near the 'boys toys'. I'm not entirely sure we can blame culture for everything.
People just say no to the easy'bake oven :)
