If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark-colored toy cars, guns, and soldiers for boys.
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, there are too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make right decisions by themselves, but pink can affect the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried, too. Vanessa Holburn is a mother of two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. "Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I'm worried that pink will not help them with that," she says.
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change." Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter doesn't wear pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change," he adds.
