Toddlers and Tiaras

[tashamjoy]

I cannot believe this show!!! This is sooo horrible!!! I feel like this is a horrible concept !! I cannot believe how these parents are!! I watch this show and get shocked I saw an episode today and there is a mom putting her 4 year old on a salad diet!!! Can you believe that at 4 i didnt even know what a diet was!!! These parents are waxing there children, tanning them, fixing their teeth this is ridiculous then showing them off to the world!! Showing them there looks is what is important in life !!! And when they loose they feel they failed and arent good enough !!! And when they when they grow up spoiled and feel better then everyone else. So low or super high self esteem. I just feel this is an awful example showing these young children. What do you guys think?

When you see a 4 year old on the stage and doesnt win and the look in the little girls eyes its so sad

Totally do not agree with this show.  Trying to make these children into adults....so the parents can live vicariously through them!!  Need to take this show off the air......

I dont understand how this type of show is approved, and how these type of paegents get approval. These children dont have a childhood at all, and they lose their innocence and act like adults, imitating stuff from catwalks, which does not look good to me. Parents, usually moms keep forcing things on their kids, and they live their fantasies through their kids, which is not healthy for the kids. I hope somebody does something to stop these stupid paegents.

That show is a joke....no way that should be on TV!

I agree its so inappropriate the kids look so much cuter looking like kids these kids filled with makeup so not cute more disturbing !!!

Yes, the mothers are just trying to relive their childhood through their daughters.

I hate the concepts of beauty pageants in general, but it is especially atrocious to force a child to partake in them.

This show angers me so much I can not watch!  These poor children it always makes me think of JonBenet Ramsey...........

[kjstrukel]

I agree with crazy zoo.  I cannot watch without thinking of JonBenet.  I could never let my children do such a thing.  Kids are growing up too fast as it is...why would you want to have your 2 year old look like she's 20?

I THINK THAT SHOW IS DUMB. KIDS NEED TO BE KIDS IF THEY THINK THERE GROWN THEY GOING ACT LIKE IT 

[vickysue]

I cannot see putting a child through all the stuff they have to go through, what is it teaching them. They need to just be children.  the parents are trying to live through their children. It is so wrong.

I don’t’ watch TV, but reading this post makes me think these parents must understand their children are unique individuals. It is sad indeed to condition young innocent children at such an early age to seek fame and fortune and everything ugly about the material world robbing their childhood. Children should be allowed to be children. It’s a show not worth watching. Just flip the channel and watch something else more wholesome and let the ratings plummet.

I just saw on the news last night a father is sueing the wife for custody claiming child abuse for having his daughter who is 6 I think in the contest GOOD FOR HIM!!!!! She dressed this little girl as Dolly Parton  *bleep* and all this is just sick it saddens me to see children exposed like this. I could rant forever but I wont
