And after countless requests from parents, the American Girl doll company finally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B06WD8CY77\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=idealmom-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B06WD8CY77&amp;linkId=90a705fa661a4a265f763974f351fb60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">released a boy doll<\/a>. The tide is turning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why are we <em>still<\/em> not seeing more photos of young boys practicing their nurturing skills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be that some people are scared about negative outcomes from boys playing with dolls, so let&rsquo;s clear the air and look at what actually happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boys who play with dolls <a href=\"https:\/\/ww2.kqed.org\/mindshift\/2014\/06\/25\/why-its-imperative-to-teach-empathy-to-boys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">develop empathy<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As they dress and feed their dolls, boys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parent.co\/powerful-reasons-i-want-my-son-to-play-with-dolls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">practice fine motor skills<\/a>, which is important for kids to learn to do more tasks independently.
