I enjoy hearing your thoughts on this. It's not something I've had to struggle with yet, though I'm sure I will.<BR/><BR/>I still don't really know where I stand on it all! The thing is, I DO have some problems with the whole princess thing, too. Jason has pointed out to me numerous times that I am always ready to question Astrid about and discourage her from wanting things like make-up and fancy clothes, but I never discourage Muirgen from the things she loves, such as dinky cars, etc. I think I would be very quick to discourage violent play as well, and I know I won't allow toy guns (although I can't stop sticks from being guns and wouldn't bother trying!) I do think it's very important to try and understand (and love!) our kids for who they really are, even when we don't always "get it".<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm glad you're working these things out before me, because it gets me thinking about them and I can take valuable insights from your thoughts. If I were your son, I'd really appreciate that you took the time to think about these things and where you stand on them.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137468031031333258noreply@blogger.com
