Reading my professor's blog I found out that this kind of doll exist and I want to give my opinion about it. First of all I want to tell you that I do not have any experience with children. Even that I have a big sister and a little brother, I never paid attention to this type of stuff, or when they started to ask on how babies come to life. So I would tell you about my personal experience and what I believes about this matter.
Since I have memory, I have known where babies come from. This was not because I was smarter than the rest of something like, It was because my mom were and is really open to me talking about sexual issues. I still remembered, every night before I went to sleep, my mom coming to my bed and hugging me. Then she started talking about things like: "Hey your winnie is a personal part of you, dont let anyone to touch it, If someone ask you to show it or something let me know as soon as possible, beause that is yours and nobody needs to ask for it", and I always have look to my parents with admiration, so everything they have said to me, I had took it very literal.
When I was reading my professor article, I was trying to remembered where do I learned babies came from? and realize that my mother had cover that subject looooonnnggg time ago, so i never had to worry to find out thru someone else (Internet wasnt around when I was a child). I know all families are different in the way their teach their kids, and of course nobody has the right answer to it, but I do appreciate what my mom did on that time and I will try to do the same to my kids.
Concerning this subject, in my opinion, parents are overreacting. It is a doll that give birth in a very simplify version, and if bring confusion to your kid just explain to him whats going on, or just do not buy the doll. We are living in a free world that thanks god people is doing toys to explain kids about something natural and not inducing them to use drugs, alcohol, fights or something crazier! like for example: Barbies or GI Joes. Barby is cool because she is blond, has a nice figure, big boobs, fancy cars, fancy house; all stereotypes. And GI Joes are huge guys that fight every time that they have a chance just to prove their point. Personal, I played with both (And I had a crush on barbie when I was a kid, I though it was beautiful) and today I am a successful student with several awards thru my academic and professional carreer, who plays soccer and tennis on the regular and hangout with friends. My points is, these toys are worst in a psicological point of view, and nothing really happen to children that play with them. Now, are you going to do a mess because there is a educational doll?? sorry but there is a war on the middle east, gangsters on the street, poor children without food. Why dont these people focus their energy in something that actually create a positive impact in the society?? And better, teach also your children to always give back to the society, so all together could get a better place to live.
Well but as I was saying, this is just my opinion, please nobody take it personal, I am pretty sure everybody has their own experience and their arguments to believe what they are believing and as I was saying, I do not have any experience in parenthood, it is just an opinion from outside of the problem.
Has everyone a wonderful day and a Happy Valentine !
