Don’t make kids grow up so fast

Regarding your article on June 26: Little girls between ages of 3 and 13 being given manicures/pedicures, hair styling, with falls, learning how to put make up on by a cosmetologist is gross.

How about just letting little girls be little girls. In fact, let all kids just be kids. Stop pushing them to grow up so fast. I guess playing with dolls is way too old-fashioned, but do children ever play tag, hide and seek, jump rope, play hopscotch or ride bikes anymore?

And when they get nice and tired from all that exercise, how about using some brain power and play dominoes and board games? They have many years ahead of them to be an adult.
