Here Comes Dora, All Grown Up –At Least Part of the Way

Tools and Issues - Parenting in the News

A tween Dora doll is coming, get your 6 to 8-year-olds ready? Parents are complaining that Dora is growing up to fast, thinking that it may push their daughters to do the same.

I have to agree. Used to be 17-year-olds wanted to be 25 and then 14-year-olds wanted to be, lol, 25. Now we are going to have to deal with tween-acting 7-year-olds. Here is a link to the story: http://www.kare11.com/news/whatsup/whatsup_article.aspx?storyid=541449&catid=333

Note to toy companies: Parents are busy enough without your, *cough*, help.

Thoughts? Rants? Post them.
