I've seen all those TV ad's about the media portraying image to young girls and messing with their minds, but I never gave it much thought or was never really concerned it was affecting my 4 year old since she only watches Nickelodeon and cartoon network (and not even that much really, maybe an hour or two at most a day)...I was wrong. The story: My daughter has a Cinderella and a Snow White doll. Today she decided she wanted to put Snow White's dress on her Cinderella doll instead. She pulled the dress on and when she tried to close the back she said, "I can't close the dress mommy", and I told her it was because her Cinderella doll was bigger than her Snow White doll and she replies with "no mommy, it's because Cinderellas hips are too big" *gasp!* I was very taken aback by her response, to imagine that a 4 year old girl would say something like that. Well I called my mother to tell her the story and she informed me that the day prior when she was watching my daughter that she had told her that "fat girls needed to take pills to lose weight" and when my mother told her no that they just needed to eat more healthy foods my daughter argued with her that no they had to take pills because that's what the TV said....you seriously can't let your child watch TV anymore it seems like.... not even children's TV stations apparently! I'm quite honestly disgusted that my young daughter would think something like that....I'm totally rethinking even letting her watch TV at all now, if it's already affecting her like this at the age of 4, how will it at the age of 12 or 13? It's a very worrisome thought.....
