Cosmetics For Kids

Some parents don't let their children wear make up or wear certain clothing before a certain age. However, what about plastic surgery? While this seems very extreme, many parents are allowing their children to get cosmetic work done even before graduating high school. In fact, some-most-are paying for it. Is this something good to be teaching a child? More important, is it safe? With children facing pressures to fit in, these are questions all parents should be asking themselves.

First of all, there are some kinds of cosmetic surgery that are done for children at an extremely young age. These are not because of a small bump on the nose or ears that stick out, however. These are real deformities with which children are born. In some cases, cosmetic surgeons operate on children as young as ten weeks old.

If a teen is simply concerned about beauty, in the other hand, cosmetic surgery may or may not be healthy. Before considering cosmetic surgery, a parent should see what is causing a teen to want the plastic surgery. Is there a true problem with your child's appearance that his making him or her unhappy? If your child is having problems socially, perhaps cosmetic surgery is not the answer. Sometimes, the parents themselves are the reason teens feel pressured to get cosmetic surgery. This may be the case if you are overly concerned with looks or if you have offered to pay for your child's cosmetic surgery.

As far as safety is concerned, the dangers of cosmetic surgery are the same with children as with adults. However, remember that a child's body is still growing, even at the age of 16 or 17 in some cases. Because of this, if you get plastic surgery to look a certain way at this young of an age, your looks may still change slightly over the next few years. For that reason alone, some people advocate waiting.

In any case, if your child wants plastic surgery at a young age, it is important to be completely involved in the process. Choose a doctor with whom you feel extremely comfortable, and don't be offended if some doctors turn you and your child away, even before a consultation. Some doctors are simply not comfortable working with anyone younger than 20. Find a doctor who is comfortable with the procedure and make sure your child is getting plastic surgery for the right reasons.

Lego – the synonym of childhood

What is Lego? Just a fun toy which amuses the whole world for about 50 years or something more? It is known that Lego is played quite everywhere by everyone. Using plastic blocks for building various things makes the game process more simple and interesting. It also develops children engineering talents.

Plastic toy bricks can be easily transformed into the many beautiful things - buildings, space ships, cars, boats, trains. Each of those things can be assembled, disassembled and reassembled in new shapes and forms.

Today, Lego is not just a toy – it’s a Universe that includes theme parks, movies, and CDs. Lego building blocks are known around the world. But where did Lego come from and how did it find the way to the children's hearts?

Lego story begins in Billund, Denmark, in 1932. Master carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen had the little company makes stepladders, ironing boards and wooden toys. Later he adopted the name Lego as a brand name for his toys. The name “Lego” is derived from the Danish words "leg godt," which mean "play well." But in Latin it means "I put together."

In 1947, the Lego Company began making plastic toy dolls and other toys. In 1949 the Lego Company introduced a little plastic brick that named “The Automatic Binding Brick”.

In 1959, Lego bricks and the Lego System were introduced in Great Britain, France, and Belgium, and two years later Lego bricks were first marketed in the U.S.A. and Canada. In 1969, the DUPLO system for children under age five was introduced.

In 1980 a survey showed that 70% of all Western European children under age 14 had Lego in their home. In 1990 the Lego Group had become one of the world's 10 largest toy manufacturers.

The new century begins, but LEGO continues to grow. These days, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, the grandson of Ole Kirk, leads the company.

Lego bricks are more than just plastic blocks. They are educational toys. They develop children imagination and creativity.

Wooden Toys

The wooden toys have been played with since time immemorial. They have been whittled into various shapes ever since the invention of the knife and in those early times the wooden toy industry emerged. Fibrous cellulous toys were sturdy and durable and kids loved to play with them.

Then manufactures started to make toys out of steel and plastic. That took place for a few decades and meant lower price but lower quality as well. Therefore to create toys the next generation can play with the manufactures have gone back to such material as wood, durable and long-lasting. And now you can find wooden doll houses, cars, trucks and planes again.

The popularity of plastic toys results from lower cost of raw materials and shipping as they have lower weight. But it should be remembered that many of the new materials contain harmful chemicals. Playing with such plastic toys and being exposed to these chemicals may cause health problems.

Disney princesses

Did you love watching Disney movies about princess when you were little girl? There can hardly be anyone who would answer “no”. Little girls are fond of stories telling us how future beautiful princesses have to overcome various difficulties to marry a prince and live happily in a palace. But we should bare in mind that the origin of these tales are far not so enchanting. And the life of princess from the original tales written by the brothers Grimm wasn’t always wonderful. So let’s try to compare Disney’s and Grimm’s version to decide which is better.

Grimm’s traditional German fairy tales are very interesting stories and at the same times they represent historical literature. But in spite of that they can hardly be considered appropriate for children as they contain a lot of cruel scenes. For example the evil Queen from the tale of Snow White wanted to eat Snow White’s heart which actually turned out the heart of an animal. Having poisoned Snow White she was made to wear heated iron shoes and dance until her death.



Another terrifying moment we can observe in the story of Cinderella where the step sister chopped off parts of their feet trying to put on the golden slipper which was not their size.

Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty differs from Disney’s one in a way that she married a prince, had 2 children and while her husband was at war his evil mother orders to cook princess and her children and serve them to her. But she failed to realize her plan and died in a tub of vipers.

Thus, Disney princess movies differ greatly from the origin fairy tales they are based on. The most remarkable thing about the Disney’s versions is that they are very entertaining and parents watch them with their kids not to show that evil doings must be punished but just to be entertained. So from the point of view of writing stories more appropriate for children it can be said that Disney’s versions are better. Someone may argue that they are sugar-coated versions of the original fairy-tales. But on the other hand fairy tales acquire a lot of versions first passed orally and eventually written down. The Disney films are just that and these versions can be shown to kids without frightening them.
So taking into consideration everything said above, it’s up to you to decide which version you’ll let your children read or watch.
