My Almost 9-Year-Old Daughter is Obsessed With Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus - In Need of Advice?
I am concerned and don't know what to do. Is this a normal "phase" that'll pass or a problem? TY!
Answer:
Yeah this is a normal phase that will pass but it will be some time before it changes. She will most likely have a different person to obsess with soon, it may be a rock star next time but either way its normal. Our 7 year old is the same with but with a less desireable star(Lindsay Lohan) at least Miley Cyrus is still a good girl. It's your daughters first real crush on a movie or tv star but she will have others before shes grown relax Mom its cool!! But keep a real close eye on her on the internet - its too dangerous for her at her age and gullibility!!
I think i t is a phase, but if you are really concerned, call her doctor.
consult a professional in child psychology
It's a phase and it will pass. I hope your computer is in your family room or an area where everyone can see what's going on on the screen. You should probably sit down with her and explain exactly what chat rooms are and what kind of people can be in them. My daughter is four and she also loves Hannah Montana as well as Raven.
I don't think you need to worry I was like that when I was a girl.
about the current Fad.
I def don't think you need to call a doctor.
But its good you're careful about her being online, other then that, posters and obsession will fade with time. Little girls are fickle
It sounds like a normal phase for a 9 yr old to go through.
Slow down her watching the program so much on TV.
Also block your PC so she can't get in chat rooms.
DONT LET HER WATCH THEM - THEY ARE OVERRATED AND JUST PLAIN NASTY
don't let her watch disny channel. listining to the music is fine, but if you expose her to other things (even other junk on tv,) the phase will end. Disny channel has a way of obsessing it's viewers, but a variety of programs is more healthy for her.
It is just a phase. Definately have the computer in a fmaily room, have family filters on it, and be able to check the history to see where she is going.
She'll grow out of it.it's a phase. I wouldn't just sit back, though, you surely need to be talking to her about the internet, and that subject, though. If it doesn't start to pass, I would start limiting her "Hannah Montana" time!
its normal. I remeber my childhood, i was so obsessed with bratz! and then one day in FeelBaby.com i read about them and now i hate them! Please do wait for one of my question to arise, Iam currently researching on t.v and soon will launch a question about them in the celenrities section, i will post it today itself. You can read the article outloud to your child, and if possible, say thanks to me by voting for this as the best answer ( Joke, you dont need to thank me, i love to help!) !!
The question will go by the name of Your help has arrived !
This is a phase. I am in highschool and one of my friends was obsessed with Hannah Montana, (yes she is in highschool), for a month. That's all i ever heard about, Hannah Montana blah blah blah, but my friend got over it so i'm sure your daughter will too :)
Kids watch alot of T.V. and Hannah Montana is a very funny/ inspiring show. My friend who is 18 is obsessed with her. I went to one of her concerts and she is very nice. she might grow out of it she might not! i love her.
I guess YOU were never "star struck"? I remember when the Beatles came out...that's all young girls wanted to THINK about let alone talk about. Then along came The Monkees...later on my sister had a thing for (YUCK) David Cassidey and Donny Osmond. My eldest niece had a think for Sean Cassidy and Leif Garret...A few years ago it was The Hansons...The BackStreet Boys...Insinc...So which one was it for you?
soo i still dont understand y u r concerned?? theres nothing to worry about.. she LOVES hannah montana... so what? its probably a phase that she will get out of.. wow idk how ur gunna be when she has her 1st celeb crush..wow
i am hannah montana!! let her watch me. but you still have to be a good parent and set boundries! and yes alot of girls like me, it is normal. i have had more obsessed fans
It is a very normal phase and it will pass in her own time.My 8 yr old daughter is obsessed with "jesse" on full house.it's cute! When i was 10 years old, i was obsessed with kirk cameron of the show growing pains...I had posters of him all over my wall.but it passed...it took me a while...about 2 years but its very healthy so dont worry. Just be careful of the weirdos on the computer please! have a great day! p.s. that girl that says she is hannah montana that answered your question is a fake. It's not the real her!
its a phase there will be another big star out there alot of people are obbsesed with her (gultiy as charged) its OK
I think its just a phase. She just really likes Hannah Montana. If its that serious, ground her from watching, listening, or anything else about Miley Stewart/Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. She will grow out of it. Just wait a little while. Eventually, she'll get sick of it. My child loves Hannah Montana too. There'll be another TV star out there some day that she'll be obsessed with. P.S. You know that one above me isn't Hannah Montana, right?

Im pretty sure she will grow out of it but the chat room thing did kinda make me a bit more worried but i suggest you sit her down and tell her how much it is worrying you and explain to her about what sort of people are on the chat rooms and maybe sort out your pc so chat rooms are banned and if that dosent help try cutting down her internet time or tv time or restrict the tv so she can only watch half an hour of it and make her watch other things in hopes to make the hannah phase pass.
I would say if you are concerned to just limit her Hannah Montana time, and make her do other things. My kids are 5 and 6 and are pretending to be Hannah Montana all the time. I am a pre-K teacher at a small private school and I hear it all the time there too. Let's face it, at least wanting to be like Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus is much better that a lot of alternatives. I watch TV with my girls, they are not allowed to watch anything I have not seen alone, and I do not have a problem with it yet. And I am very picky! They are not even allowed to watch Scooby Doo or Spongebob!
