In 1960 America, 5.3% of all births were to unmarried women; in 2009 America, 41% of all births were to unmarried women. 41%!

Equally unsettling: 59% of boys agreed that it's okay for an unmarried woman to have a child; 70% of girls said so.

Is it really so surprising? Every kid nowadays walks around with a cell phone glued to her ear or thumbs - sexting, not just texting. Meanwhile, Hollywood celebrates non-committed hookups, MTV parades sex as youthful entertainment, retailers cash in on our youngsters, pop music resounds with offensive language, and on it goes.

Even Disney is in on it, as is GapKids and others, by offering heels to teenyboppers. Says mumsnet's Justine Roberts, "Some of the shoes I have seen on sale look more suited to a lap-dancing club than the feet of a young girl."

And while Primark withdrew its padded bikini tops for girls as young as seven, not so Abercombie and Fitch, which simply deleted "push-up" and went with "Triangle" for its padded top bikini line.

Says Wheelock College's Professor Gail Dines: "It gets young girls to think about themselves in sexual ways before that's developmentally appropriate."

Then there's Wal-Mart's geoGirl line of "sheer color cosmetics moms can buy their daughters." Offerings include bubble-gum flavored lip gloss, light-pink blushes, even eye shadows and mascara, all at a cost of just $4 to $6-so suitably priced for our third to eighth graders.

The NPD Group, Inc. surveyed about 1,500 girls, 400 of whom were between 8 and 12, and found they use beauty products at least once a month. Says NPD vice-president and beauty-industry analyst Karen Grant; "Makeup use today is more likely seen by parents as a bonding opportunity. A lot of the brands the mother is using are actually what we see the young girls using, too."

Next up: dolls. Mattel's Monster High line takes Barbie to a whole new level. Clawdeen Wolf, for instance, comes decked out in a mini mini-skirt, way-high boots, and heavy makeup. Her favorite hobby is listed as "flirting with boys" and she describes herself as "a fierce fashionista with a confident, no-nonsense attitude." Marketed to tweens and teens, she's actually being scooped up by girls as young as five and six.

As a world traveler, you quickly discover that the laws back home simply do not exist or are not enforced in most of the countries you visit. The first casualty is the right to intellectual property, be it copyrighted, trademarked or even patented. If it is not nailed down, it is everybody's property and anyone can make copies of your work without your consent and profit from it without paying you a cent in royalties, and without any risk of prosecution.

Walk along the most transited boulevards of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and you can openly buy DVDs of movies still in the theaters, as well as music CD's, for as little as 2 US dollars a piece. In Colombia, shops in popular malls will offer you shoddy looking Nike shoes, which are clearly not the real item, while street hawkers offer you poorly printed knockoffs of the latest bestselling books. In Mauritius, Disney ice cream vending trucks roam the beach parking lots. They are festooned with fairly good renditions of a wide variety of Disney cartoon characters and the company's logo as well. Too bad the overpriced ice cream they sell is awful! Buy a cheap computer assembled by a small shop virtually anywhere in the developing world (and even some first world countries) and it likely runs a pirated older version of Windows. Unauthorized Hello Kitty images appear on a huge variety of products in Mexican shops. These are just a few examples of a multi-billion dollar worldwide business based on ripping-off the legitimate creations of others.

Local governments do little or nothing to stop the practice, while those who buy the products might not know they are illegal, but even when they do, they seldom care. Often, there is no other option than the pirated one, especially in the case of rental videos. By not protecting intellectual property rights, such countries discourage foreign investment and help perpetuate the crushing poverty that afflicts large segments of their societies. For now, you are likely to see a police officer browsing through pirated videos at a street stall in Bangkok, looking to buy the latest Toy Story movie for his kids.

If you ever think of buying knockoff, be prepared for the possibility that they might not only be of very poor quality and workmanship, but might also be unsafe, since they were fabricated in unregulated sweat shops.

My tween baby always feels left out. The way she tries to belong in the in" group is pathetic. It makes me feel like screaming. Sometimes I just cry"- my cousin complains.

Sabina, her ten year old child needs to wear the same brand of jacket, find the exact black shade of nail polish that the popular girl wears. It is very important to her what other people, especially her peers are thinking about her.

Rohit, her eight year old brother, the other day asked me - "Is he a good guy or the bad one?" as we were watching a show together. I asked him -"Can't he be a mix of some good and some bad?" He looked at me as if I came from the world of E.T.

Kids, in their tween years (8-12years of age), the age between early childhood and puberty are in the concrete stage. The world is either black or white. Nothing in between can exist. Either it must be day or night. There is no twilight zone in the tween time stage in life.

They have graduated from the egocentric period, which is apparent in their four year old sister, Sasha. Sasha, independently dressed with one blue sock on one feet and a pink one on the other, with five Hello Kitty clips on her uncombed hair can proudly play with a bunch of preschoolers in the sand box. No one seems to bother or criticize her.

But her tween siblings are different. They are very conscious of what other people think and feel or judge. They can be painfully critical on themselves too.

Well, the stage will pass and the crisis will fade with time. In the mean time research in child psychology indicates that the following guidance may help.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
Do things together: Cooking, gardening, fixing things together give a chance to work with the hands and open up discussions about the abstract world. Listen to them and observe.That may bring both of you closer. Then only she'll listen to you.

Expose to extra curricular activity: Games and sports that involve team playing, dancing, playing an instrument, any thing that the child finds interesting may open up another dimension of the world- the abstract aspect through concrete experience.

Once again, it is Halloween. Everywhere you go, you see cobwebs, cauldrons, broomsticks, tombstones, and pointy witch's hats. Of course, there is the cheery jack o' lanterns grinning mischievously at everyone who passes by them. Then there are the various advertisements on Halloween shows and concerts; the endless invitations to the different Halloween parties; and of course, the annual trick or treat!
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
So, this certainly counts for one thing: costumes! There are lots of costume choices to choose from. For one, you can try cat Halloween costumes. For children, some cat Halloween costumes such as the Treasure Cat (from Alice in Wonderland), Hello Kitty, or one of the cats from the animation The Aristocats, would be a nice idea. For young adults, a sexy cat Halloween costume could include a Cat Woman costume.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
This year, instead of going as the usual or traditional characters you have been accustomed to for the past decade or so, why don't you try going sexy this Halloween?
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
It's just not for you? Think again. Anybody can be sexy - if they want to be. It's always "you are what you think". The only requirement it needs is confidence. Can you imagine a slim, pretty girl in a sexy cat Halloween costume walking around the party with her head bent down, looking at the floor as she walks around and her body as if saying "I am ugly, don't look at me"? Would you imagine that girl to look sexy? I don't think so; so you see it's all about how you carry yourself. It's all about you, and the costume is simply an accessory.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
There is a wide range of choices to select from if you wish to go in something other than a sexy cat Halloween costume. There is the sexy bunny, the sexy nurse, the cowgirl, the sexy schoolgirl, the sexy witch, the sexy evil queen, sexy villainess from comic books, or even the sexy actresses you try to emulate. Whichever it may be, it doesn't matter - because they're all sexy.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
What if you're a plus size? That doesn't matter. Simply act sexy and you will be. Put on some make-up, color those nails with a sexy red or a bold black, and pucker up those lips with some sexy colors such as red, or burgundy, and you're already feeling sexy - without putting that costume yet. If you're all conscious about your arms and all, you can skip the sexy cat Halloween costume, and go for a sexy witch costume. This way, the witch's robes would be covering your arms and you would feel more comfortable and confident for the evening. You could also go for the sexy evil queen costume - after all, it would be the magic of make-up. It is important to enhance the eyes and the lips. Those are the sexy parts of the face. Smoky eye shadow for the eyes will certainly turn heads.

It was every girl's dream to own a Barbie doll. This famous doll had passed on from generations to generations and has been popularized all over the world. However, Mattel was faced with the challenge of producing more than just dolls under its banner.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
Just like Sanrio's Hello Kitty, Mattel's Barbie needed expansion. Now, your little girl will not just aspire for a doll from the manufacturer. In fact you may give her another gift through the Barbie Doll'd Up Nails Digital Nail Printer.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
This digital nail printer works like the Inkjet printers you know in the market. It makes use of the thermal Inkjet technology. The basic feature of this gadget is to provide both young girls and grown-ups with intricate nail designs that are impossible for one to achieve through manual work. In fact, the printer has hundreds of nail designs that will suit your mood. Before you have your nails painted, learn about how to get started with the product:
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
Get it out of the box and put the pieces together. The Barbie digital nail printer comes in a package which separates the printer ink from that of the printer. You have to install that first before you move on with the nail painting process. Read installation instructions from the package.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
Download the special software. This is commonly compatible with a Windows Vista operated PC. If you have an internet connection, it is possible for you to download more nail designs aside from what is found in the software.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
There is a camera that should be calibrated with the printer. There is a card that indicates the calibration. The camera calibration is quite complicated so if you are not sure you can do the job, just call out to someone for help.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
After setting-up the software and calibrating the camera, the Inkjet printer can be utilized for its purpose. Here are steps to follow:
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
Take a picture of your fingers where the nail designs will be placed later on. This will serve as your guide while picking the design you want and in manipulating the image you are going to print. Readjust the size and colors depending on your needs.
Hello Kitty Nails galleries
It's time to print. Do this by inserting your target finger in the nail printer. Position it according to the design image that pops out on the screen before you print. If you want the whole process to work easy, stay still. Otherwise, you will end up repeating the whole process without getting your nails done.
