The delight of the unexpected moment when your child comes upon a character at a Disney park

Meh. My daughter went through her phase of fascination with Disney Princesses. She is also surrounded by very strong women and has learned to analyze what is being presented to her by, well, everything in life.

She can still stay grounded in reality and enjoy the occasional escapism Disney provides (I realize not everyone enjoys this kind of escapism). I believe it is possible to parent a child successfully, even when bombarded by opposing messages in the media.
