Why do young girls on Disney shows wear so much makeup? They make 4 and 5 year olds want to do the same thing.

Question

When preschoolers watch That's So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, they really look up to those preteen girls. Instead of learning to read, add and subtract-- they want to talk about boys and kissing.

Answer 1

Perhaps you should take action if you feel strongly. I'd back you up. Contact the disney channel and explain that you don't feel that the image some of their programming suggests is appropriate for children to adopt for themselves and that children are highly susceptable to repeat the actions they see on tv.

Answer 2

The girls on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "That's so Raven" are not preteens. They aren't even portraying preteens. Those shows are for older children anyway, not preschoolers. The target audience is between the ages of 7-14.

The parents of the preschoolers need to become better parents and monitor the shows that they allow their children to watch. Don't blame a TV show for something that is the result of bad parenting.

Answer 3

That's the aim of the media. To make our kids ignorant and care only about shallow things so that they can't see the problems that surround society. They aim in turning them into society's robots. Mostly everything on television is trash and is aimed to brainwash the weak-minded.

Answer 4

kids grow up quicker now adays cos life has changed. if they dont try out all these things when they are young then when they are in their teens they might be considerd as neive or not being very grown up. i think as long as children still get time to do their school work then its fine if they want to wear make up have boyfriends and generaly look up to older girls.
i think its good if they want to be mature

Answer 5

Well that's exactly it..they're preschoolers they should be watching like the tellitubbies or something. girls that are like 12 usually should watch thats so raven. & whatever else.
