Cinderella ate my daughter. How to explain to my daughter that being herself is better than trying to become a princess

Modern girls live among the attributes and images of glamorous princesses, surround themselves with pink, use cosmetics, dress like adults, try to be the center of attention, and place great importance on beauty. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if girls engage in all of this consciously, for the sake of self-expression. They can choose how to look and what to play. However, in a world created by adults, the line between "allowed" and "necessary" blurs too quickly.
Peggy Orenstein, a prominent journalist, conducted a large-scale investigation to find out how the toy industry, cinema, and beauty pageants affect little girls and what parents can do to help their daughters express themselves.
