Most girls love Disney princesses and non-Disney princesses. They see them as characters whose stories attract them and, who knows, as a model of inspiration or image of the person they would like to become. We do not usually worry about the idols of our children, basically because when they grow up they realize, alone, that life is not a kingdom, that boys are not princes and that girls, of course, are not princesses.
However, for a while, there is Princeland, a chain of establishments designed only for girls from 4 to 12 years old, where girls can go to have them Manicure, pedicure, spa, to see fashion, etc., which is news these days because it is about to open the first establishment in Madrid, which will be the twentieth in Spain.
Twenty openings so far this year of a business that seems to be on the rise, because the company plans to open at least five more centers.
In Princeland Girls are offered a world of princesses in which to talk about fashion, get beauty treatments, put on pink bathrobes to combine with the general decoration, drink water and juices in champagne glasses, eat delicious and cared for menus, etc., everything This to be enjoyed by the girls for two hours.
As the company explains, it is a business that “It is based on the smallest educational model related to health, food and well-being”.
In addition, although in a timely manner, confectionery, protocol, literary creation or dance workshops are organized for different prices and offers the possibility of celebrating birthdays for girls to enjoy their day in a world like that of adults.
Well, I don't know whether to say anything or keep quiet so you can give your opinion in the comments (I lie, you know I won't shut up). Stunned, I am faced with the existence of these centers and it is patidifuso to see that it is an expanding business, because hey, that there is no major problem, everyone tries to do business as they can, but see that the girls go because the parents take them it generates more controversy (as Janice, de Friends would say: “Oh my God!)
Childhood is a very short period of life that must be squeezed to the fullest by playing, staining, climbing, running, exploring and discovering and, ultimately, doing what infants, children do, sharing time and resources to learn the most important values of life, which are the ones that will make them grow humble, honest, sensible and respectful.
Changing all this for a world in which children are treated as adults, and not precisely as adults walking around the house, can be dangerous. I do not think that a girl of 4 or more years has to start worrying about how she has a dress, a nail that seems to have broken, a cuticle too prominent or to learn how to take the cup to not spill the juice. Is it really fun for a girl lead an adult life?
A few days ago I made one of those existentialist reflections in the dining room of the center where I work. Several women exchanged comments about their diets, one saying that "in the morning I have to eat kiwi, although it doesn't feel very good." The other telling him to replace it with another fruit and the one saying that it cannot, that it can only be kiwi.
So they continued explaining their guidelines and commenting in unison on the hunger they are going through and at that moment I told them: "We are such a dysfunctional society, so anomalous ...". I do not usually think much because they always look at me a little weird, but hey, it is that at that moment, abstracting from the conversation, I was shocked to see that most eat what they don't want to eat and that most are starving without need (and that many carry bad milk as a consequence).
Wouldn't it be easier to eat balanced and get some exercise? Diets are of no use if they are then abandoned when you already have your ideal weight, because without a change of habits the weight recovers. That is why I believe that girls should learn, in childhood, to be good people, to be kind, honest and humble and to respect and be respected, that is, to learn values of coexistence and, in passing, to learn to eat a healthy diet and balanced, eating varied and adopting that way of eating as normal and natural, and relativizing the outer appearance, which only gives us headaches in the form of obsessions and attempts to be someone we are not.
Anyway, each one of his daughters to teach them what they want, but if I had them, it would make the pink one more color and try to enhance that will play how girls play and not how superficial women play.
PS: If by chance you still have not done the idea of what Princelandia offers to girls, perhaps with this video you capture a little more the essence (my wife could not, or did not want to, finish watching it).
