Allowing kids access to repeated unhealthy messages and gender stereotypes can have a harmful influence on kids. “Many fairytales, especially those containing princesses, can send the wrong message to kids. But over time those media messages can change how kids think and behave. Sometimes the underlying messages are subtle, sometimes they’re more obvious. “Kids absorb lots of messages from media sources, such as TV commercials, cartoons and books. “Children learn about themselves, other people, and the world in general based on what they see and hear,” said Morin.
