"If we respond to limitation with limitation, we do a disservice to our children. It’s fine for my four-year-old, Annie Rose, to choose to play with princess dolls, as long as I give her access to trucks and Star Wars toys, too. She may not choose to play with the trucks, but at least she has the choice. Isn’t that how we got here? By taking away choices?"
