No. I don't think beauty pageants are good for self esteem issues. I wouldn't want my daughter to feel that she is not pretty enough. Even though I know she is beautiful, I know what kids go through. I never thought I was pretty as a teen and I've heard teens today talking about how they don't feel they are pretty. In fact I work with a girl who is 18 and she has 3 secret admirers. She told me she doesn't know why all these boys like her, that she's not that pretty. Well, I looked at her and said I think you're beautiful. So again, I would not put my daughter in a beauty pageant because I don't want someone telling her she's not pretty enough. Kids have enough problems these days without adding to them.

No... I don't even have a child, but no way. It's 1) too expensive for maintenance and 2) bad on self-confidence (can make too self-centered if they win or sad and depressed if they don't win.)
Have you seen Dr. Phil when they do the child beauty pagaents? It's very incredible how the moms get so wrapped up in it instead of the child!
Have a good day :)

If she or he was really special yes. I know a lady who has a gifted and beautiful 8 yr old who has done a lot of commercials and is a natural in front of the camera and enjoys it very much.
The child must want it as well not just the parent.

Not until they were old enough to tell me that was something THEY actually wanted to do.
I do not live vicariously through my children like most of those pageant mothers appear to.....

No, I wouldn't. I believe we reply too much on good look opposed to actual intelligence and as a young child it is not what I would instill in her. She can make that decision for herself when she is of age.

No. It forces children to grow up too fast....the makeup, the waving, the attitude and when they lose it's a major disappointment for a child to handle.

I'm only 13 so this is hypothetically. No,because any child of mind is bound to be self centered and big headed, just like me!!

Good God NO! Those things are only good for entertaining pedophiles and arrogant parents. And why set my child up to value the physical so highly?

no. even if my child was beautiful, I want to emphasize that looks aren't the most important thing. I'd like to enroll her in a spelling bee instead if possible.

nope, she should be out having fun with her friends and meeting new people, not walking on a runway in a swimsuit infront of a large group of people, taking pictures which they will probley post on the internet for pedophiles to see.
