The author refers to this phenomenon as the 'Princess Syndrome'.

哈德斯坦将这种现象定义为“公主病”。

These kind of messages, she says, have a huge impact on a girl's self-confidence and make it hard for children to understand as they grow up, that intelligence, generosity and passion are more important values.

她说，这些潜在含义可能会挫伤小孩的自信心，使她即便成年之后也很难相信勤奋、大方和热情要远比美貌更重要。

During an appearance on CBS' Early Show, Dr Hardstein explained: 'Girls are getting this message everywhere that... what their worth is based on is how they look and the things that they have and it's very superficial.'

在哥伦比亚广播公司的一期节目中，哈德斯坦解释说：“周围到处都是这样的信息……相貌和打扮就是女孩子的一切。这很愚蠢。”

Her book teaches parents how to let their toddlers enjoy the Disney movies and their teenagers watch reality figures like the Kardashians while encouraging a discussion about the messages projected by the media.

她在书中还告诉父母怎样指导小孩看迪斯尼动画，以及如何引导青少年正确看待电视真人秀中诸如卡戴珊姐妹这样的人物。

Speaking on the show she said: 'Parents think their kids will understand the messages that they are bombarded with all the time and they don't.'
