6 year old DD is growing up so quickly

6 year old DD has always been quite emotionally mature for her age which is good in some ways, she's very in tune with emotions, will tell me how she feels and why she feels that way and knows when to take herself off for some time alone. However she has this fascination with being grown up, she often tells me she wants to look like a teenager, she has plenty of toys but she doesn't play much anymore. I have to remind her she's still only 6 and has plenty of time to enjoy being a child. She's also stopped believing in santa and the tooth fairy. I feel like she's missing out on all the fun of being a child, she struggles to fit in with children her age as she isn't interested in the same things

My son is the same, he’s 8 now and it hasn’t got any better. Don’t have any advice just know how you feel! Very frustrating

Tell her if she wants to grow up so quickly, she can do all the cleaning and laundry. I'm sure she'll change her mind
