Well, after reading your questions and all of the "thread" responses, I have my own input! I am a mother of a seven year old CAH girl. She has an older brother (10). I do not know if he has anything to do with it, but my daughter wouldnt touch a baby doll if it was the last play toy on earth! For years my family would give her at least one "token" doll on her birthday or Christmas. It has just been within the last several years that they stopped. And that was only after one of her Aunts spent a fortune on a beautiful baby doll for her birthday. My daughter opened it up, held it up to show the family, gave an appreciative smile, and dropped it in the pile of wrapping paper. Although she tried her best to be polite, kids are not always the best at masking thier feelings! Also, my daughter does have a weight problem that I am convinced is CAH/medication related. She is VERY active, has mostly boys as friends, and in alot of ways she reminds me of myself! I know that the CAH plays a certain role in making her who she is, but I can't imagine loving her anymore than I do today! Good luck with your grandaughter. Don't get caught up on pro or con stereotypes (even the word categorizes itself!), enjoy life to the fullest and teach her to do the same! Lot's of luck to you and your family!
