The source is the marketing in our society. It's everywhere. We no longer have tv and she watches a few videos that don't portray this, but before we got rid of the tv she was watching some things that I didn't like -Kim Possible- ugh,...

My dd wanted to know when she was 4. I told her everything. Her only comment was "is that what you and daddy did to make me?" "Yep." She's never mentioned it again. I was a little worried when she wanted to take...

My 6 yr old dd is a 13 yr old wannabe. She wants to wear skimpy little shirts that show her belly, high heels (horrible, scary, ankle breaking shoes -I can't believe they even make this &^%$# for little kids), etc. It's really...
