That explains it.... her mother is a psychotherapist trained and educated in analyzing every single aspect of a child's life and I'd suspect her own daughter over the few years she's been on this planet has been subjected to a number of her mother's tests and reviews..... because she's been trained to study children coming out of abusive and traumatic situations and it was part of her daily job for quite some time, it sounds to me as though she can't shut this off when she comes home and takes everyday child's play from her own daughter and over-analyzes the situation when it's not needed, thus creating the problems she's trying to solve.
That's a phase ffs..... my sister and a couple of my cousins did the same things when I was growing up and they started acting all posh.... it didn't mean they were going to start killing and eating poodles, geez.
That's what they typically do in those prince/princess stories.... I'd hate to see what she would have thought about me going all ninja turtle on the neighborhood when I was growing up
"Rapunzel Syndrome?" Does that actually exist or is she just making shit up?She's a friggin kid trying to role play something she likes.... she likes princesses and their stories because they represent a lifestyle where everything they want is given, there's usually someone always coming to save/protect them, it's a position where they're considered important, desired, needed, etc..... more important then their friends, even more important then their parents.... just like boys like role playing super heroes, etc. Long hair is a part of what she sees as being a princess and when you decide to cut it, you are taking away one of her physical links to the thing she finds enjoyment in..... of course she's going to get upset.... but she'll get over it.
Yes because books have all the answers for every situation and every child. Some children don't like pants..... others don't like dresses..... my wife never really cared for dresses and even today she's not a big fan..... she didn't become some axe murderer...... I don't like sandals/flip flops.... Does that mean something's wrong with me? This mother needs to keep her work at work, and be a mother when she's at home with her own daughter..... and she needs to clue in that a child's imagination is a powerful thing and for a couple of years in their younger lives, can influence and shape everything they do to a particular aspect as though what they believe is real. This has nothing to do with being raised in a horrible home nor does it have anything to do with them having horrible parents. My mother put up with my crap and my imagination for quite sometime. Enjoy it, let them be a kid.... go along with it even.... eventually one day they'll walk in the room and no longer have any interest anymore.... she won't be a princess anymore, I'm no longer a ninja turtle and I grew out of it on my own..... they'll usually respond with "Princesses are for babies" or "little kids" and they'll hit a stage in their development where they want to be a big kid and do what the big kids do. The more you treat their "fun" as being a problem or signs of some worse underlying issues..... the more you try and stop their acting and imagination, the longer they'll resist and the longer they will hold onto this role playing.... because it creates attention for them and it's also a means of protest in some cases. And if it is a form of protest, then chances are her mother is seen as spending more time with other children and not her own because they're worse off then her little princess...... either way the case may be..... the problem lies with the mother first. At least as I see it based on the given limited information. If she makes sure she let's her kid be a kid and makes sure she spends enough time with her, this won't be a problem and she'll move on to something else. |

I know of at least one where this is true. Mom is a total clueless dame - always had everything handed to her, and she married well, and continues to have the world handed to her. Has 3 daughters...Brittany, Brandi, Brooke. Seriously. Youngest one is 14. Ask anyone of them a simple life question...huuuunnnnhh? whhhaaaaat? Mom says its alright - look at them, they're gorgeous - they're going to marry well. They are, they know it, and they probably will. Nice work, Mom.

I never said there weren't, but no, these really are dumb as a stump and will most likely wind up being someone's trophy wives |

I dont have kids, but I do think its important to steer them in the right directions... and if they become obsessive with something.. try to distract the with something else or focus them on different aspects. I like princesses... I never played them as a small child, cause I grew up with all boys.. so it was mostly Ninja turtles, transformers and GI joe. as a result.. I was a tomboy... and I didnt relate to girls at all till about junior high. I like pretty dresses and dressing up now.... but I also want to kick your ass if you are gonna be the boss of me, like some cheap princess. anyway.. lol.. enough of that. Disney princesses.. are tough girls! with the exception of one or two. So perhaps she should point out the strong points of those girls! example: Princess Jasmine a spirited young woman with a mind of her own self-confident and full of vigour, Princess Jasmine is not afraid of adventure. In fact, she is a very curious and very brave young princess who wants to see the world just as it is, not cooped up in any sort of palace. Though rich and powerful, she does not give herself airs. Honest but cunning. Disney princess's are more about adventure than being pretty... for most of the movies being a pretty princess is only the last 15 minutes of the film..lol its all focus I feel bad for this lady's kid. Shes going to be analyzing the shit out of the poor girl till shes 21! |

also i think there's a concern (from this mom) about future body image. will constant exposure to disney princesses/barbie/bratz give unrealistic exceptions about her body? the woman quoted a study from '91 that said 81% of 10 year old girls are afraid of being fat. (Mellin et al., 1991) so is that a valid concern? also this mom has issues with the "hijacking" of her kid's imagination. her theory is if the kid is given a toy with a "story" (name, parents, place to live, etc.) they won't go beyond that in their play. but if the kid gets a generic princess doll, lets say, they'll make up more stories about it. |

^ I think there is a lot of reason to be concerned. For both boys and girls. A huge majority of today's toys don't encourage imaginative play. Even lego sells only sets now with instructions of what you are supposed to build with it. |

Yeah, I've been noticing that for Legos. It's maddening that I can't find just some supplemental blocks for anything under $30. |

since the regular price is $29.99 that is probably the set he was referring to

But you can find them. We have oodles of lego's in those huge containers from when Noah was younger. |

This kid is 3 right? I'd say I agree thats its a phase, as young kids are too fleeting and fickle to establish full blown obsessions at that age. They'll do things, then a butterfly flutters by, and their attention shifts. |

Then again when I was a kid I loved to play with Trolls. It was when they first arrived on the scene in the 1960's. My friends and I loved the Troll house and the Trolls in all their nakedness & wacky hair.....![]() Come to think of it I grew up to marry (sort'a) an ogre like looking troll, who loves to dwell in his small cave, mostly, if not naked....His hair is also freakishy long and troll like.... Maybe that woman should be very concerned.....

And....the kids!
