I am shocked at all the good reviews here.  Don't get me wrong, this magazine is cute for girls ages 12 and older but EIGHT???  The problem with our society is that kids are being pushed into growing up WAY too quickly while they are still too imature.  If your 8yr old is learning about how to talk to boys, what glitter to wear, how to maintain a BFF friendship - then what will they be reading at 13?  My bet is Cosmo.  Slow down everyone.  8yr old girls should be playing on a swingset, playing barbies, pretend school, etc...  If they are already bored of these things, my guess is that you pushed Barbies on your daughter when she was 3 which is your own fault.  Parents need to remember that the younger these girls turn into "tweens" the younger they will be teens and we all know what we did when we were teens.  Give your 8yr old magazines like ASK, MUSE etc...  Let them work their minds, not teach them to be shallow superficial girls.
