Question by Lisa S: Letting Little Girls Dress Provocatively…Can someone explain this?

I’ve always been ill at ease when I see young girls wearing “big girl clothes”, I’ve had friends who put their kids in dance classes, then cringed my way through recitals where BABIES were taught to “strut their stuff” in front of a crowd.

I didn’t think it was “cute”, “precious” or “funny”…but the parents didn’t seem to mind. The day does not pass when several people here don’t worry about how “fast” our young are growing up…and I am wondering HOW people can allow this sort of thing, and not expect it to happen.

Performing aside, I have seen little girls (age seven tops) playing in the park wearing low riding hip huggers to show off their thongs.

Are these parents out of their minds, or am I just hopelessly out of date? I don’t understand “tarting up” our children.

A woman recently published a book called “Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like A Skank”…so I am pretty sure I’m not alone.

Thoughts?
Wow…so it isn’t just me.

I have no problem with kids doing dance, and the like…I just have issues with the places that insist on making them, look like pint sized women. They are KIDS.

And as to the mom who reminded us that parents do the buying—right ON!

I have so had it with the dismissive “well what can you do?” parents who shrug, and give in. When our kids were babies, we didn’t let them play with electical outlets because they “wanted to”, abd this strikes me as no different.

Thanks for the replies…and I will keep watch on this one!
I was shopping recently with a friend in a high end department store, and saw these bikinis…along with the bootie shorts to match…the sizes? 2-6X.

Enough already…is it really wrong to let a girl be a kid?
