i'm with beach about the barbie issue. sometimes, i still play with them. and my sister and i played soem pretty liberal games with our barbies such as:
lesbian/bisexual barbies
gay ken
cross dressing ken and the back up back of drag king barbies
we had a thing for L-G-B-T issues and concerns. We had ardent feminists barbies who worked hard at tough jobs and demanded equal pay ofr equal work. it was an interseting play.
TV can be a problem, but some TV can be good. there are a number of excellent education programs on television that children may find interesting, and may broaden their horizons beyond school books or the activities that we participate in. I remember growing up watching a lot of PBS, Nova, Scientific American, any nature show that i could get my hands on--and even travel shows, which piqued my interest in world cultures.
It's not *all* bad. Are there problems? sure, but sometimes complete abstainance is not the best policy. Rather, teaching children how to make choices regarding "good tv" and "bad tv" and "good body image" and "bad body image" or whatever. . .is part of a parent's roll.
I think it's great that you are into a healthy lifestyle. I think it's great if your kids are active in a number of outdoors or active activities. It's awesome! i like to be active too!
And if you decide that no tv is the way to go--more power to you! if you decide no barbies is the way to go--more power to you!
I think you'll find your way. And if you live in a large enough community, you'll find other parents like you. most of them hang out around organic food coops, quaker meetings and unitarian churches, health food stores, funky little arts and craft fairs, and folk music festivals. So, it's very likely that you can find someone, in one of those venues, who has interests and parenting ideals similar to your own!
Be well and happy!
