Dear Fonseca,
I am a single mother and need some parenting advice. My three and a half year old son wants to play with Barbie dolls. He got the idea after seeing ads for the new Barbie movie. I'm not sure if I should let him. He's heading to pre-school and may get teased. That's the last thing I need. Personally, I think it's harmless that he wants to play with these dolls, but I also know he could get bullied. Should I allow my son to play with Barbies? Is there any harm in it? He is three and a half. What does he know?
