How about Mattel starts making dolls that look like women they see every day - mothers, teachers, aunts, cousins, etc., so that children know that there isn’t one standard of beauty.
How about we don’t tell children they have to look like Barbie to be beautiful.
Barbie isn’t beautiful. She’s made of plastic.
And I’m not really against Barbie dolls as a whole - I played with Barbies growing up. But there is definitely something twisted about making a Barbie without hair because we think it will make little girls with cancer feel beautiful.
And how about little boys, who might not want to play with Barbie, who probably feel just as badly about themselves? Or, for that matter, little girls who hate pink, who can’t identify with a doll because they prefer books or animals or playing with other toys. These children deserve to feel beautiful, too.
Some suggestions for things that would probably work better than a baldy Barbie?
-Shave your head to match the child in your life who is suffering. If donating is important to you, donate your hair to Locks of Love.
-Spend time with that child - making art, reading books, making music. Investing time in a child makes them feel far more special than dumping a bunch of dolls in their hospital bed to keep them company.
-TELL THAT CHILD WITH CANCER THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. Do this with actions as well as words - hugs, kisses, treats.
-Let that child meet other children (or even adults) with cancer. If children are surrounded by people they care about who have the same disease, they will see past the sickness and view those people as folks they can confide in, identify with - people who understand them. Children who realize that they can find others with cancer beautiful are probably more likely to realize that they are beautiful, too.
Children are far, far more complicated than Barbies would make us believe.

a friend commissioned me to make a Kermit dress for his 12-month old daughter and I might as well just drop out of school and close down my Etsy shop, because I will never make anything cuter than this. ever.

Image e.g: A young boy climbs in a tree - today this is one of the risks many parents find totally unacceptable.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS ALL ALONG.
Like parents who over-sanitize their children. NO WONDER THEY HAVE EVERY SINGLE ALLERGY KNOWN TO MAN AND ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO EAR INFECTIONS.
*ahem*

Yep.
Echolilia
All parents love their children. But what do you do when you can’t connect with them? In my case, I started making photographs of, and with, my son Elijah, who has autism spectrum disorder. This series—the title is from “echolalia,” a clinical term for the mimicking aspect of his condition—shows the bridges we’ve built on our shared journey of wonder, discovery, and understanding.
We began this project when Eli was five. He was doing well at school but fixating on odd things, lashing out, speaking repetitively. My wife and I couldn’t figure him out. Then I started taking pictures of him around the house. It was an instinctive act for a photographer: Point your camera at something in order to make sense of it. But a curious thing happened. As I documented what Eli was doing and creating, he became interested in the images I was making. I was learning how he thinks; he was learning what I like and value.
We soon had a system. Eli would do something unusual, one of us would notice, and we’d make a photo of it together. The pictures we took over three years were more raw and feral than anything I’d done as an editorial or advertising photographer. And more personal. This is, after all, the story of a father and his son.
Timothy Archibald’s book, Echolilia: Sometimes I Wonder, was published last year by Echo Press. See more of his work at timothyarchibald.com.
This is one of the more beautiful things in the world.
