| daughter and princess |
| I have really an issue with my daughter fixation with princesses. I know most of the girls go through the princess fase but I would like to get her interested in other things besides princess.

You know the problem with the princess thing is most likely peer pressure from school. It starts at an incredibly early age, but I have rarely seen it with little girls that are not yet going to school.
Here are a few things you can try, I have seen it work well for friends of mine:
1) The Dora series. They have a playhouse, et most of the same kinda stuff as the barbie houses, but it's more down to earth (actually boys like it too)
2) Animal & Farms Playsets- get a nice big red barnyard with looks of cool animals, that would get her to play with the set and get her interested in farm animals in general (and the you can bring her to a *real* farm)
I will ask around to friendfs and if I get good suggestions I will post them back here.
Hope it helps

Some kids go through fixations worse than others. It's really okay. She'll go on to something else on her own. And she'll have periods where's she's not fixated on anything. My daughter's fixations started at about age 7 with Mary Kate & Ashley. Since then we've gone through Hilary Duff, NeoPets Cards, horses, being a teacher (which she still plays daily), High School Musical, and are now into Hannah Montana. I've cut her off cold from pursuing interests that are a bad influence. I don't like the obssessions myself, but I know itis normal and she will "grow out of it."
P.S. No, they started earlier, "Veggie Tales" - I had all their videos memorized! |
