i personally would not allow my kid to do those things UNLESS she was old enough to ask to do it. Prancing a Lil girl around in makeup and dresses belittles women gives them the ideal women have to be skinny and pretty and perfect it's gross to me. If you wanna do that get a pet put them in a dog show you don't do that to kids as for self esteem i think it teaches em to be spoiled bratty girls who think they are better then everyone else. BESIDES those things pervets go to those shows to see young girls dressed all up "gag" want nasty minded men drooling over her?

If I even have daughters while i'm older, i will enter them in pageants. i could start up them in organic pageants, and then pass to glitz often times. i does not stress my daughter to do pageants, and while she had to stop she could. besides the indisputable fact that, for glitz pageants i could provide her a pretend tan, pretend hair, acrylic nails, and he or she could be donning makeup. i does not wax her legs (if it replaced into mandatory i could shave them), and that i does not be spray tanning a 2 365 days old. yet for glitz pageants, you may have those issues to be seen for bigger titles, and while you're unlikely to pass all out, there is not any think approximately competing. bear in mind that little ones and Tiaras is basically showing a small volume of pageants (it is likewise shrink to show what captivates the objective audience), and it does not inform you each and every little thing there is to appreciate approximately pageants. no longer all competition mothers are psychotic, and the ladies doing pageants many times do prefer to do them.

My daughter did pageants when she become a teenager. At first, she loved it...begged to do more...but as the years pasted she grew tired of it....and as disappointed as I was....I didnt make her continue. Pageants can be fun and build self esteem if the child wants to do them. My dtr earned numerous titles...and with those titles came scholarships for college....she had all her college paid for by pageant awards. I have boxes and boxes of crowns, trophies, and medals. She doesnt pay much attention to them anymore. Periodically, I take care of a couple little girls for a friend of mine.....they love playing dress up with all her crowns...there are no child pageants in the area I live in now. Maybe you could start out with a small local pageant (check with local malls, they have small ones with multiple age groups) and see if she likes it.....the fees are usually minimal or free for these type pageants. If she liked it....move to another one....if not....at least she tried. Good luck and God Bless.

I placed my daughter in a baby contest and I could not believe how cut throat and biased it was. The parents behaved as if it was their contest. Also, money talks and the rest walks. Sponsorship is the economic wheel that makes the contests turn. The more money a child brings in through sponsorship, the more apt to being selected.
My daughter is gorgeous as well, but her father and I decided not to enter her into any contests. If she wished to compete after she turned 18 fine, but not before.

You know what, don't listen to anyone telling you that you are stupid or any other insults that you get on here. I asked a similar question and I was all of a sudden a selfish, shallow person and was screwing my daughter up.
BULLCRAP!
If she wants to do it, then let her. I have never heard of a true case of a child being raped or killed as a direct result of a beauty pagent. And before anyone says Jon Benet Ramsey, there is no proof that the pagents are what caused her to be murdered.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. In fact my daughter is going to be in one next week.
She is your daughter, you don't need these strangers approval for this.
IM me if you want to compare pagent stories.
Now all you fuddy duddys, give me my thumbs downs!! I know you can't wait to do it!

Depends how old she is, and wether or not you're willing to accompany her, to them. It is some times good for the self esteem. But not always. But if you really want her to feel appreciated, do it- don't let the JonBennet Ramsey mystery discourage you. Be cautious, but don't be discouraged. most of all, make sure the pageants are legit.

It seems harmless and fun for the girl.
You shouldn't worry about prancing your girl around like it is an object. If you don't feel that way, your daughter won't feel that way. It's how you raise your child that counts.

well for one thing i've heard it is expensive to do. if she wants to do it ok...i wouldnt let my daughter do it. if she is really that gorgeous maybe you could try modeling instead. i know they always have the cutest kids in magazines and such.

I say let her do it and back her up 100% but make sure it doesn't all go to her head.
