My niece may only be five years old, but she acts more like a teenager than a child. From the clothes she wears, to the things she wants, it is like looking at a five year old version of a fifteen year old. She seems adamant on everything in her room, especially the sheets on her bed. She doesn’t want bedding with princesses on it, or anything childlike, she wants "cool" Childrens Bedding as she puts it. She wants strange designs on the bed, with posters on the wall. She even wants to get a cellphone. It is strange because she doesn’t have any siblings to copy this behavior from, so it is really a mystery on where she is learning it from.

Hmmm, kids seem to be growing up so much faster these days. There’s a girl in Grade 1 at the elementary school across the road who shaves her legs and dyes her own hair!! I was like…what on Earth??
It might be the TV shows she is watching??
