I would add that they need to feel for themselves as well.<br /><br />At the end of the video, when one of the dad's is talking about the pointing thing coming out of the head of the unicorn being princessy, this actually seemed more like a "prince" than a princess to me?

Wonderful balance to the glitter and pink of the Disney franchise with a girl that loves to climb trees, splash in mud puddles and wear hiking boots. At three and a half my daughter is now totally into the pink and glitter, but also loves to catch earthworms and do all of the above. Great advice from Jeremy Adam Smith.Kristin Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620070786878473139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-75255639939403588032009-06-20T11:33:29.701-07:002009-06-20T11:33:29.701-07:00I remember the princess years.

I'd like to join your little community on our experiences raising a gender non-conforming son, if that makes sense to you. <br /><br />I'm starting a blog with a west-coast mom (I'm an east-coast dad) on the shared experiences of our little community of a few dozen families.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691910345694356205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-60008538086787176772009-06-17T11:31:43.904-07:002009-06-17T11:31:43.904-07:00Enjoyed your perspective of the video.
