Thanks for giving me a little 'heads up' on what sorts of things I may face in the future.<br />I think you are one of the best Mom's out there - and your children are so blessed to have you! Don't change a thing about how you are raising them. And thank you for your example!rachwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159753612318287532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321357570572890240.post-59894717876247265002010-03-23T08:42:01.477-07:002010-03-23T08:42:01.477-07:00I played with barbies until I was 12 too.

I don't want to push them to grow up any quicker then they already have to!!!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128746202693879394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321357570572890240.post-10644598856933158862010-03-21T20:46:44.638-07:002010-03-21T20:46:44.638-07:00I played with Barbies when I was 11 and 12.

Hanna Montana is fine too. There is so much on TV that is not worthwhile. Let them watch the good things. I also disagree with the teacher that younger siblings keep the older ones from maturing faster. Everyone has their own pace. Some take longer and some are pushed too soon. Let her be a child. Adulthood comes too fast as it is.pdwheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278487345895613172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321357570572890240.post-37115913323064628812010-03-21T17:01:04.278-07:002010-03-21T17:01:04.278-07:00I completely agree with you!

I think it's so sad that the world is pushing our kids to grow up so fast! You know what's best for her and for your family. Keep those high standards and your daughters (and Kohler) will appreciate it so much as they get older! :)Angeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059675977019551800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321357570572890240.post-90799717923212351682010-03-21T13:59:36.134-07:002010-03-21T13:59:36.134-07:00The Lord sent your children to you.

Since you are the educational expert with the motherly instincts I think if you continue to follow your own impressions it will do more for your daughter than any social pressure!Greg & Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416045117216359189noreply@blogger.com
