Yes, i do remember 'sexing' with bar...haha! Yes, i do remember 'sexing' with barbies when I was young, but surely not as young as M? I agree, its not actually the practicing/acting out of games like this that is so much a problem. (Hey, we were v risque it was barbie-on-barbie action: woo-hoo!) Its the objectifiction of bodies, which is I think getting worse. I read a bit of the book that the link above refers to, and I have to agree with the author, that there is an insidious qualtiy to the marketing of toys/games/clothes to v young girls that is worrying, and so much worse than when we were young. The idea of hating your body if it dosnt measure up to the ideal seems to be hitting kids so much younger.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185473644935795616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235641598408247148.post-71863094329428102512009-09-06T21:53:49.690+10:002009-09-06T21:53:49.690+10:00ohh boy, been meaning to re-comment for a few days...ohh boy, been meaning to re-comment for a few days. LOL on the 'sexing' too. memories of my own depths of childhood with the neighbours barbie n ken ( coz i didnt have any!!! pc mother). we are sexual creastures but of concern is the language, the discourse and the context. hang in there..keep talking with them and draw on your own memories!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004659288503834211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235641598408247148.post-77913778297470142602009-09-04T17:41:53.970+10:002009-09-04T17:41:53.970+10:00oh, oh, oh!!!!!

And Ive talked to big sister bout it a bit...and found out they are having barbie doll games with 'sexing'. For CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!

Its a shock when it first happens. the younge one seems to reach levels of maturity a lot quicker than the older one and its just out there, everywhere. songs, print media, kids chats, everything is just hot; people, things,songs,stuff. they dont understand its sexualised context, its just a word to explain a like but i reckon her growing up big sister has been educating her...Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004659288503834211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235641598408247148.post-22316230594458054572009-09-03T20:33:57.275+10:002009-09-03T20:33:57.275+10:00where did she get it? two words.
