No online games, movies or TV shows. ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. I know this, beacuse my little sister hated dora by age 6. so, no point in the "older audience" strategy. oh, and also, no one past the age of 9 wants to do anything with Dora.

She was the same age as her fans, so her veiwers could relate to her. She wasn't supermodel skinny, she wore nice 3-year-old clothes, and was athletic, a very good influence for growing tots. Now, she looks 10 or 11, and now her veiwers want to be older just like her. I've always been really petite, and seeing girls on TV that are my age that are so much prettier and older-looking put me down a lot. I kept thinking that there was something wrong with me, that I wasn't the same as the people on TV. I'm just afraid that this will be the same situation. Girls will worry about their body image a lot earlier in life. They shouldn't be wasting their time looking in the mirror. Girls their age should be playing outside and getting all dirty, not thinking about what they'll wear tomorrow. This is pretty much ripping their childhood away from them, and before you know it, they'll be wearing bras and make-up by the age of 10. It's not right. It just isn't. Yep, that's about it.
