If your child asks you for a "Sofia the First" DVD, there are some readily available reasons to say "no." Maybe you think the first Disney princess aimed at toddlers issteeped in stereotypes and sends the wrong message to girls. Perhaps you remember there was controversy over whether or not Sofia is Latina. Or, like the father of a boy named Sam, you might just think your kid has too many DVDs.
