Thanks to the new Beauty and the Beast movie, we’re seeing lots of chatter about princess culture and whether it’s good for our kids. So, on this new episode of Spawned with Kristen and Liz, we tackle this hot button issue, and whether the whole Disney princess culture is healthy or harmful. We tap into research, books, and yes, our own parenting experience as we discuss how princess culture has evolved and how it affects kids.
