Dolls, the best friends of our childhood...

48 53

Greetings, my dear friends and family, today is another day. Another blessing. Every day when I wake up, I try to remind myself that I have been given another day, and I try to make the most of every moment, because I am the hero of my own life. I want to thank my very dear supporters for their unwavering support. Their presence encourages me. Thank you for always trying to give good feelings to everyone. Take my love and respect.

Today I want to tell you about the best hobbies of us, specially the girls, in our childhood. Yes, I want to talk to you about dolls. I myself loved my dolls when I was a child, I chose beautiful names for them, and I sewed colorful clothes for my dolls. I spent my whole childhood playing and talking to them, they were the best friends of my day.

When I was a kid, Barbie dolls were just coming to market. They were very attractive to girls, and we all wished we had one of them. But because it was expensive, my mom never bought it for me. I always wanted to go to my friend's house who have Barbie dolls, and play with their dolls. The girls at that time were fascinated by the beauty, height, good looks, luxurious clothes, long and blonde hair of Barbie dolls. They have become a model of beauty for us. When we played with them as a child, we wanted to grow up to be beautiful, tall, and well-shaped like them. But the older we got, the farther we went from the standards set in our minds, the more frustrated we became. And our self-esteem dropped, we thought we weren't beautiful girls, because we were not like Barbie dolls.

And think about it, because of these beautiful dolls, so many girls were hurt. Because they didn't see themselves as in the dreams that came to their minds because of the Barbie dolls. But thank God the world realized this fact, and the doll making industry evolved to do less harm to girls.

Now, not all dolls are made in good shape and tall. Dolls may be fat and short. And they can be of different races around the world. The dolls wear traditional and local costumes from different parts of the world. Dolls can wear simple clothes, and even have short and dark hair. Dolls can have glasses, or even have a defect in their body.

There are even dolls that have a variety of diseases, dolls that have Vitiligo, Albino, or even cancer. Seeing such dolls sometimes brings a smile to the lips of children suffering from these diseases. And it creates a glimmer of hope in their minds. When they see these dolls, they realize that they are still attractive and beautiful, and like other people, they can have a normal life.

I think that the existence of dolls with different heights and sizes, of different races and with all kinds of traditional clothes, dolls with defects and all kinds of diseases, helps children today to understand that all children in any shape and size, of all races and ethnicities, or with any defects and diseases that are equal. And everyone is on the same level and position.

In the future, they will love their friends equally with all their differences and distinctions, and it is not a strange thing for them, because it has been in their minds since childhood.

Before this, many girls may have fallen victim to the old doll making industry, but thank God, this industry is accompanied by many beautiful slogans today. And the mental health of children is important to them. Wishing no child had any particular illness. And all children, especially girls, should love themselves as they are, and believe in themselves and their beauty.

Now, can you tell me a little about your childhood dolls? Have any of you ever had a Barbie doll?

I remember when I had as a kid, I and my doll where inseperable. I would even be talking to it in the dark and my elder sister feared that the doll had some mystic powers that had possessed me. One day, she threw it away. Lol. I was very sad and missed my beautiful doll. Mom taught it was best to replace the doll with a teddy bear .

I really wanted a Barbie when I was a kid, but it was a luxury our family couldn't afford. Yes, we lived poorly at first, but we didn't starve. And I had a lot of toys (Soviet toys were cheaper). And in the end I had this Barbie, I received it for my birthday, but at that time I did not play more toys... that's such an irony of fate. Now there are all kinds of toys and a lot of them were invented by people who are "not friends with their heads!!!! For example, in your photo you have a doll with a hare's lip. Well, that's who it was created for? For perverts? What does it teach a child? Another interesting article. Bravo!

Many thanks dear Belozoriana... ☺️ Yes, Barbie dolls were exactly expensive, I always dreamed of having them too. While their presence for girls could cause more psychological damage. Now I think it is good to make dolls with all kinds of diseases and defects, because children understand that these are not strange things, and they become more familiar with the reality around them...

I just had one doll given to me by my Auntie when I was a kid, it closes its eyes when you lay it down, it has a battery too but due to my curiosity I try to take it out from the back then after that, it never operated anymore. I play with my doll for some time but I preferred to play with my brothers outside running and hiding and climbing trees lol.

Dolls are my favorite when I was a kid friend. I remember everytime it was fiesta in our town. There were a lot of dolls selling at the street. I cried if mom didn't buy one for me. I felt so sad and cried.

Dolls give me a happiness. I always enjoying while playing it. I love arranging the clothes of the doll. I have a lot of memories of dolls my friend.

It's really great that they made dolls nowadays more realistic so that children will be more likely to know what is really different people looks like so that they won't think someone's appearance funny.

My dear friend, did you know that playing outside the home and with other peers is very effective in cultivating children's minds and intelligence... πŸ˜‰ Playing outside the home as a child has been a great gift to you because it has helped you become more social, and more intelligent than many other children, whose only playmate as a child was their dolls... ❀️
