I loved the The Body Image Book for Girls; Love Yourself and Grow Up Fearless by Charlotte Markey. It is a fun and approachable book for girls explaining everything they need to know about their changing body.
There’s no Girl’s Cars and No Boy’s Cars – Just Cars!
My little boy is saying that there are girls’ cars and boys’ cars, whenever he says it I am telling him that there are no girl’s cars or boys’ cars, just cars! Why do toddlers suddenly decide that boys and girls need different toys??? Let me know if this has happened to you.
Firefighters don’t wear Dresses & Thigh High Boots with Heels!
Alexander was watching Firefighters Song for Kids from Bounce Patrol Kids on YouTube, it was a catchy and fun song. However, the only thing that I could not stop looking at was the woman firefighter was in a dress and wearing thigh high boots with heels! Yep, the woman is dressed in non firefighting clothes and the men have adequate clothes to fight a fire. There are no dresses or heels in firefighting and girls should be dressed the same as the boys! Simple as that. Even if it is a song or a simple dress up. It sends the wrong message! Let me know your thoughts.
There are no boys and girls toys, there are just toys!
There are no boys and girls toys, there are just toys! What do you think? I overheard a little girl saying that she needed to find the girls toys. Let’s hope that she gets to play with some fun toys that are just toys and not labelled girls or boys toys.
