Chapter 6 This chapter did not surprise me in the least because I have read the same book that was referenced, Cinderella Ate My Daughter , and I have lived as a woman within our society, experiencing firsthand the negative aspects of our hyper-focus on female appearance (Pica, 2015, p. 29). Young children are developing their theory of mind and coming to realize that how they think and feel may differ from how others do (Paris, Ricardo, & Rymond, 2019, pp. 194-195). The focus that the adults they see may place on

I agree that children need time to play alone, and that unsupervised mom
