Dr. Robyn to the Rescue

I wrote two days ago about the Princess (and Barbie) and how they’re sexualizing my daughter. I asked for help. Dr. Robyn was kind enough to comment with some suggestions. Then she went a step further. She reposted my article with a bit deeper guidelines on her blogs (one is called Kiss My Assets. That’s awesome). Cool! And thanks for the help, Dr. Robyn!

 

I went over there and reread my post. I “sound” so dull and boring when my words aren’t on my blog. When I read myself on my blog I’m funny, passionate, engaged, intonated. Reading myself on someone else’s blog was worrisome. How am I perceived by readers here, at home? I hope y’all get me. I hope I come across as witty, maybe even funny. Do you read me with the correct intonation in your head? Because I’m pretty animated when I talk. That may not come across in the written word.

 

Back to the topic. I’ll be trying Dr. Robyn’s suggestions and others that were left in the comments section. I don’t expect a teetotal swearing off of the princesses or Barbie. I’m determined to make this a positive time for Reagan though; in that it brings out the best for her and doesn’t leave her wanting to dress like these girls:

Uh uh. What happened to letting little girls be little girls?
