What we’re reading today:
1. A new collector Barbie has pink hair and a sweet chest plate of a tattoo. Is this inappropriate for kids, or is it merely reflective of the women a young kid might come across? We can think of quite a few awesome moms and dads with a whole lot of ink. Mary Elizabeth Williams made a good point in saying that while this doll isn’t specifically meant for little kids, it’s ‘s not a bad way to promote the idea that blond and All-American isn’t the be-all and end-all of beauty.
2. Adoption: Giving a child up, or placing a child with a family that can care for it better than you? Prudie FTW.
3. Shy kid? Relax, it’s not a social phobia.
4. We linked to some sort of discussion earlier this week, but that babies and screen time conversation just doesn’t go away.
