Im like "Hunny what do you want to be when you grow up?" and she relplied to me"a princess!", but obviously there is no such thing. How do I tell her that she can't be a princess. I would break her heart! I've tried and she got so mad at me and she stomped upstairs and she started to play a bunch of movies full blast in the home theater, then she started yelling at out peronal chef a bunch of mumble jumble. Is there any way I could adress it to her a diffwerent wayyyy? Please and Thanks!

tell her: you can be a princess, but every princess needs a job/career. Like, there are princesses that are doctors, and some are teachers.

Without specifically knowing her age, I really think that this is ok for a little girl to say. I have never heard my daughters at young ages say "i want to be a doctor when I grow up" or "i'm going to be a district attorney" They would dress up like princesses, have pretty princess games, and watch cinderella movies. Look around her. What does she play with, what movies does she watch, etc. If she's into disney princess, then that's her favorite thing right now. So don't worry about it right now, she'll change her mind a hundred times before she hits college anyway.

There is such thins as Princesses but hey she would have to marry into a royal fmaily and to a prince.
I'm sure you can just say good that would be a great thing to be when you grwo up and leave it at that she will learn as she gets older.
Let her see this world through her childs eyes before you know it and she knows it she will be all gron up!1 let her enjoy being young !!
It will all be ok in the end :) and you never know she may marry royalty one day :)

I don't see the harm in letting her want to be a princess. She's either a toddler or preschooler, judging by the area you posted this in, and therefore should use her imagination. She's entirely too young to be seriously considering any career at this point, anyway.
Plus, in my opinion, every little girl is her very own princess. Don't hamper her imagination at such a young age.

How old is she? This is a very normal stage of development for young girls. My 4 year old granddaughters both want to be princesses! It is fun and imaginative, and eventually they will grow out of it. Enjoy it! Read princess stories, wear princess dresses, and have princess tea parties. It will be gone before you know it, and she will go through many more phases. She may want to be a doctor for a while, a teacher, a veterinarian, a cow girl, etc. I'm a grandma and I've just recently figured out what I want to be when I grow up!

IF she's young enough to believe that growing up to become a princess is possible let her. When she gets older she will know what she wants to be but I'm sure she's too young to answer that question the way you want her to! She just being a kid.

Shes a little girl, all little girls want to be princesses when they grow up. Young children have wonderful imaginations, thats what makes them so wonderful and unique. Let her think she can be, when she gets older, she will realize she cant be a princess. Young kids that dont know what they want to be and if they say something, they will likely change their mind over and over again.

Exactly how old is she? if she's under 6 I say let her have her dream. What little girl DIDN'T want to be a princess? Let her be a kid and dream of being a princess. She's got plenty of time to think like an adult later. Too many kids these days are having their childhoods robbed by responsibilities. Let her be a kid.

All little girls at some point want to be a princess-why break her heart by telling her she can't? And who knows maybe one day she'll meet a guy who treats her like one! She'll eventually realize when she's older that it's probably unlikely she'll be a princess.

Tell her she'll always be your princess. She's too young to need to know what she really wants to be............so let her be a kid for awhile and fantasize. As she gets older, the truth will become apparent to her.............but she will still be your little princess! Cater to her young dreams....................let her be happy. Describe to her the great qualities that make up a great princess.......kind & thoughtful, smart & courageous. This will subliminally tell her how to act appropriately.
Good Luck!
