That is certainly your choice and decision to make, as is any parenting decision and we are all free to raise our children as we may with no judgement.

Unless this website is grabbing a paycheck from Disney, I don’t know why the contributors support such a misguided, wayward company. As Mary Elizabeth Williams recently wrote:

“There’s something deeply disturbing and wrongheaded about the Disney princessization of American girlhood,” which has girls yearning for sparkly, skinny dolls with no heroic context, writes Williams: “Not to be a buzzkill, but you do know that Belle, in her poufy yellow dress, is a prisoner, right? And that the pink-clad Ariel lining the toy aisle has recently sacrificed her power of speech?”

I, for one, will NOT allow my daughter to be brainwashed by this corporation and led to believe that she is a princess to be admired for her beauty alone. We must teach our Latina daughters that they are worthy of admiration and respect beyond their looks and that they’re equally capable of achieving anything in this life. Disney continues to portray negative female stereotypes.

Shame on this site for buying into such bulls**t.

This is so important, Ana!
Our neighborhood and school growing up were not diverse and folks back then didn’t even think like that, to be honest. But we had a big dose in our lives of a religious tradition that makes much of everyone being equally a child of God, and Mom was never more disappointed or stern than when we’d done something inconsiderate or hurtful toward another person no matter who they were.
We aren’t active in my parents’ religion but I still try to be guided by some of the same ideas in my daily life and daily decisions. Your post lists some great ideas anybody can try!
I’m so curious about the purple salsa… goodness, what is that? I would love to try it!
