OMFG...
I keep coming across these shows...what are they doing to their poor kids? Mostly i am refering to TaT, which is guilty of glorifying the screaming and yelling at, as well as physically hurting of kids. Not to mention the inherent shallowness of beauty contests and the disturbing emphasis of provacativeness combined with a child's natural innocence. Who would flaunt their poor, sometims half-naked children on TV?!
And Dance Moms is just stupid.
Yeah like the girl singing "I'm sexy and I know it." Dumb ass parents should go to jail for kiddie porn.
Agreed 1000%
I despise TaT and am kind of glad we don't have cable right now lol. It's not just the abuse these kids get from being made into living dolls...I mean, what toddler needs false lashes, a spray tan, and parading around half bare-assed in front of a crowd? It's also the fact that these shows are basically making it easy for pedophiles to get their "fix". It's also the attitudes that are being instilled in these little girls. It basically says "If you're not gorgeous and made up, if you don't win a prize for being absolutely fabulous, you're nothing...winning is everything".
And the BEHAVIOR that's encouraged by the lack of real discipline from the parents is appalling. My child would never tell me "shut up" or scream at me, hit me, kick me, etc...because that behavior would be nipped in the bud, tout suite. I'm the parent...I'm not their friend, I'm not their buddy, I'm NOT their equal. I'm the mother, and parenting is my job. These people try to be their child's friend, and therefore don't discipline or think it's cute when their child acts like a spoiled brat.
All they're doing is training future strippers and porn stars, in my opinion.
I don't understand how the people on shows like T&T can see nothing wrong with it. When I was growing up most little girls wanted to dress up like a princess. Now their mothers are dressing them up like cheap whores to win a prize. Don't they realize that heavy makeup, skimpy clothing, licking your finger and touching your ass, and dancing provocatively are to make women appear sexually desirable? These stupid people sicken me. A 5 year old child should not be promoted in a sexual way like this. Their mothers are either too stupid to understand or don't give a damn.
RE Dance Moms..It was good at first but now they seem to think bickering between the mom's will sell the show..not so. I quit watching it. The MOMS were getting out of control..while the kids watched and cryed most of the time. What kind of example is that?..
No thanks..
T and T..watched the first few episodes and the more they dressed the kids provactively the more I didn't want to watch it anymore..
Snoozy
Bunch of loser moms who want to live vicariously through their poor kids. I say SHAME on them as I point one index finger at them and rub the top of it with the index finger of my other hand.
Sad if not somewhat disturbing
Pedophiles like children who look and act like children.
These contests do seem to push the diva training though.
Ever watch Baby Burlesque? Look for Shirley Temple. She made a few of these. Start at 3:13.

I agree with all of you.
Except I have to say...I don't think it's so wrong to be your kid's freind...but you DO have to be the parent FIRST. The kids, btw, are acting like brat's because the moms act like brats. The mom's are setting the kids up to be dissapointed when the world doesn't treat them like a diva.
