These were toddlers with makeup  . Of course this was showing the extreme side of pageants but the point is the same. I am sure there are many people who draw positive experiences from pageants but I would never allow my daughter to participate in one, no matter how beautiful she may be. I think getting girls involved in sports, community service and educational afterschool activities can yield the same positive results without compromising her childhood or self esteem. |
I think I saw the same thing. Was the main little girl they were following names Sky or Star. She was blonde, and she lost a tooth at the end of the documentary? Some things the parents did were a little extreme like you said, but not all parents are like this, like you said, haha.
