catherine96821:I think little girls are naturally drawn to these girly things, and don't see it as sexual. We might have that in our heads. Anyway, girls that are happy in their skin are the most confident. I believe in always telling them they are beautiful, with it or without it. My daughter went through a phase of too muck black eye liner and I really bit my tongue. The phase passed.
I always tried to not make a big deal about the dress-up thing...girls have been doing it for years, just like boys want to play cowboy, cops and robbers. Decorating the body goes back centuries. Just my opinion, know I am alone on it usually.
If his daughter was 4 or 5 years old, I would agree with you to an extent. But he said in the original post that she will be "3 years old in a couple of months." I don't believe for a millisecond that a girl that young has the mental capacity yet to know what "playing dress-up" means. I would think she would be barely old enough to know what playing with dolls is all about.
