Kiera is into princesses lately. We've been watching a lot of princess movies lately. I'm noticing a theme: It seems like all of the princesses want to be something that they are not. So is that the definition of a princess?
thank you. so poignant. it is for that reason i'm not sure i will permit my future daughters to watch the princess movies. i'm sure that kiera will be fine, however.
Hmmmm, wheels turning. Ok, a quick synopsis: Princess Ariel- Definitely the most extreme in terms of not liking herself to become something she's not. But she's brave! Princess Jasmine- Not even the main character in her movie. Doesn't like to be a princess, but never really comes to terms with that. Aladdin learns the real lesson. Princess Snow White- Naive. Innocent. Escapes pure evil. Just wants to be loved. Shows her love to others. Good lesson. Princess Aurora- Oblivious most of her life to what she truly is. Finds love, allows her to take her place where she belongs. One of my personal favorites. Princess Belle- Intelligent. Wants a friend who understands her. Knows how to find true beauty. Finds love unexpectedly. Speaks french. My absolute favorite. Princess Cinderella- Treated horribly, yet never discourages her heart. The ultimate happily ever after, overcoming those who hold her back, and finding true love; what she's always wanted. Did I forget anyone? Probably.
The point is, my niece asked me for a set of Princess golf clubs for Christmas. Princess merchandise is on a rampage! It won't ever stop! Anyway, cute girls you have!
I recently read this good article about girls growing up to fast. I have never really liked Barbie or Disney Princesses... but we do have them in the house. This article hit home. This is the link. http://www.parents.com/teens-tweens/health-body-issues/body-issues/girls-growing-up-too-fast/
