    Me, 3 years ago: “My daughter will be different. None of this princess garbage. We’ll play with bugs and do science and...” Me today: “Why yes, Belle, I would LOVE to go to the ball.”

        The point is to just not limit them in anyway. My daughter loves super heroes, science, playing in the dirt, AND sparkly pink, dolls, and kitties. GoldieBlox toys and sets are great for her.

        My big mistake was thinking that the two are in opposition. Princesses can use microscopes. Scientists can attend fancy dancing balls.

        This same revelation is useful for culture. You can have many distinct cultural characteristics in the same person. And arguably that is precisely what people need to become less tribalistic.

        My older daughter did princesses, then dropped them. My younger never particulatly cared. For both I created “Cupcakes and Code” to bring coding and tech into their world. I find they need to view tech as tools to fuel their creativity and vision, like paint + markers.

        Persistence pays off. This Xmas my daughter’s favorite presents were a robot tiger, diamond earrings AND the microscope + petri dishes. We’re growing all our saliva bacteria to see who is the nastiest.

        When did the princesses start? Is she your only? My 1y girl has an older brother so most of her toys are boy toys (b/c I'm cheap and hate clutter). She did go absolutely nuts over a doll he totally ignored - pretends to feed it, etc. Likes stuffed animals, too.
