Playing barbie can be great fun for your child, but some barbies have a grown-up, ‘sexy’ look. <br />This might seem fun and innocent, but it can also create an image of women that you might not be comfortable with or want your child to copy. So parent's guidance and influence is a must.

When it comes to morals, ethics, and values children are most impacted by family--family is the most influential.

At the time, I don't think her body shape had any influence on me, but that was a long time ago. I can really see how kids are more aware of celebs, but it's important to remind them to be themselves, be happy in themselves and realize celebs are paid to look this way and also most photographs are airbrushed and retouched to change their appearance. blythe32https://www.blogger.com/profile/08503582823736488987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215571588156030388.post-75970444565331851652016-08-09T21:00:41.423-04:002016-08-09T21:00:41.423-04:00I definitely think parents establishing a a differ...I definitely think parents establishing a a difference between Barbie dolls and regular body types is important.
