Barbie has been a much beloved and popular doll since her creation, and has spawned many offshoots, including the current Barbie movie, which is hugely popular and making cinema history. But is Barbie good for us? Or are there mental health impacts to Barbie that we should think about?
In this episode Colin and Kirsty discuss this very question. Kirsty explains why she does not let her kids play with Barbie, as well as the impact that unrealistic beauty standards have had on her.
