2. If you're teaching pre K/Head Start, dressing that teddy bear can be very important

Some of the kids have no dolls to dress and undress. That teddy bear teaches them how clothing works and that's a real life lesson they'll use for the rest of their lives.

DU broke the page so I can't access it right now, but I'll bet some of the other practices the author criticizes can also be age appropriate.

That's really the key here, knowing context.
