Improving and Inspiring the Lives of Girls Worldwide
Twin Blogger Moms take 5 Minutes Around the Blogosphere and discover We Believe In Girls:
“I’ve explored the site just a little but do plan to visit there regularly to read the blog authored by the Chuck Scothon, father to a 5 year old daughter and General Manager of Mattel Girls. I also enjoyed looking through the forum. It isn’t too busy yet but the discussions so far are interesting and intelligent. If more parents, both mothers and fathers, join in, this could be a valuable resource with lively, thought-provoking discussion.”

Let Them Play
Mother of two daughters and Sprightly blogger Amy Lathrop really gets what We Believe in Girls is all about:
“The point of the website is to encourage parents, teachers, leaders, and, well basically all people who work with young girls, to let them be young girls! . .This is such an important issue. I see daily how TV, movies, cartoons, other children, and books are pushing little girls not to be little girls, but to be young women. I have to monitor everything. I don’t want my daughter (she’s eight) to grow up sheltered, but I just think at her age she shouldn’t have to think about whether or not she’s skinny enough, or if she has an ipod or cell phone yet, or if she’s “cool!
I think this is a great thing Barbie is doing.”

It’s all about girl power
Amanda Compton at AMomsReviews.com encourages families to get involved with We Believe In Girls:
“If anything, Barbie stirs a child’s imagination and encourages role playing and pretend play which is a very important part of a child’s cognitive and social development.
If you are a parent then you should join us at webelieveingirls.com This is your chance to be a part of a very important discussion to empower Mothers and daughters. It is your chance to make a change.”

Little Girls in Modern Times
Shera R.,–a mom of six boys blogging at A Frog in My Soup– “hopes and prays” that others are as concerned about the welfare of their daughters as she is about her sons:
“I want girls to feel comfortable in their skin to know that they are absolutely beautiful and precious in God’s eyes. I want to see that they are able to enjoy the simple things as a little girl, not always caught up in the latest fashion, makeup and hair styles, worrying as a third grader about having a boyfriend. Life is really a lot more simple than we tend to try to make it these days.
Even though I have no girls I am often approached by those I am close to for information or resources they need when teaching or training their little princesses. Mostly because I do a lot of research on things and seem to stumble on these resources often. So, along those lines I thought I’d mention a new site I recently found out about that is all about raising girls! www.webelieveingirls.com.”

Bridging Make Believe with The Real World
Rachel Hamman, author of Bye, Bye Boardroom and Mom’s Night Out, and blogging at Momnicient Musings, sees Barbie empower a new generation through We Believe In Girls:
“Leave it to Barbie, our most beloved childhood friend, to be a pioneer for empowering this generation of young girls. It shouldn’t surprise me. Besides our parents, Barbie was one of the first to tell us we could be anything we wanted to be when we grew up. Oh, how I remember Barbie as a doctor and as an airline pilot. She was helping to break down the glass ceiling well before she was even unwrapped from her cellophane box.”
