What do you think of toddlers in tiaras?
Honestly it absolutely disgusts me. Those kids wont have a childhood and they grow up to be snobby little brats. it's one thing to give a child confidence but to have them say "I'm prettier then her why didn't I win wahhhh!" and throw tantrums is terrible. Also what do u think about that one mom who dressed her 3 yr old as a stripper and said in defense "well at least I'm not like SOME parets and I FORCE my kids into sports where they get hurt and break their arms!" (more or less) I'd like to ***** slap her upside te face. And lastly what about teen models who starve themselfves. When they're told their not good enough or an inch off of te waist requirement what do u think. I think it's so hnhealthy and crushing and may make them go bulimic or something. Discuss.
What do you think of toddlers and tiaras?
Personally? - I’m old school. Let kids B kids while they grow. So “No.”Professionally? - if there is no undue influence, if children are exposed to all we possibly can (that’s safe & age appropriate) and they show an interest, why not…My belief is that we ‘show our children the world’, with a matter-of-fact attitude rather than advocate they select specific interest and ‘help them to become more of who they are” rather than a rubber stamp of ourselves. There is the ‘objectification’ of women and I would want to use some age appropriate language in describing this to my toddler daughter, offer other experiences that had similar attributes (‘dress up’, being before an audience, performing, etc) and support her in her choices. On the other hand, this would not be the first activity I’d choose for her to participate with for these various exposures.At toddler age there’s not much choice - they just follow along with what’s on the ‘smorgishboard’ we present. Supporting a talent (skill, interest) that exposes it’s self (the parent role listed above) has not had any time to repeaditly show it’s self, the child does not have clear language to advocate for an interest, and social play is just developing. I’d say it’s a lill early for all these things as toddler beauty pageants present, but again, let’s see what the individual child has interest in as ONE activity in the mix available.Thanks for asking me directly, good luck with this effort!
Do you think the show ''Toddlers In Tiaras'' is stupid?
EXACTLY!! the kids obviously dont like it. They think doing it will make their parents proud. Those moms spray tan their kids,give them false teeth and even get them waxed. And then when their daughter doesnt win they want to hate on other peoples daughters. THEY ARE JUST KIDS! LET KIDS BE KIDS! And newsflash, as much as you hate on the winner,YOU'RE STILL GOING TO BE THE LOSER. Be a fair player,do'nt take this ish to seriously, beauty isnt everyting. Because you're not teaching the girls good social skills or raising them to have a good personality. And nobody lies a girl with a shxtty personality!
What do you think of the show Toddlers & Tiaras?
think it's crap. Those kids are going to grow up to be extremely high maintenance. Plus, all those mothers are obviously living through their daughters. I mean really? I saw one where a mom got her daughter's eyebrows waxed and she was 8. There's nothing TO WAX! Then another girl was getting spray tanned. Which I guess isn't uncommon in these pageants, but is still crap. Another girl started shaving her legs at age 7 . So I guess like you said if the kid likes them, it's fine. But from all the episodes I have seen, it doesn't appear that any of these kids like them.Also something that it not from the show toddlers & tiaras mom who gave botox to 8 year old just because she had wrinkles! think it's disgusting when the mothers FORCE there kids to go in the pageants. If the kids like going in the pageants the fine I don't mind. But I hate when I see the mothers DRAGGING there screaming kid on stage. And some of those mothers are CRAZY!! This one mom gave her 6 YEAR OLD 3 Monster Energy Drinks
What do you think of the parents on Toddlers & Tiaras?
first of all - are the mom's on this show typical of pagent moms? i find it disturbing that all these mom's are overweight and generally very unattractive. are they trying to improve their own self-esteem through their children? instead of spending 10's of thousands of dollars on pagents, why not invest in a personal trainer, nutritionist or tread mill? Second, regarding the episode 'west virgina walk of fame' shouldn't somebody tell Jayla cottrell's mom that her husband is gay. very very gay. This poor guy. If he wants to be a pagent coach then he should just be out, be proud, and do it. does anyone else find this show as disturbing as i do?
What do you think of these girls names from Toddlers and Tiaras?
Ok, I was thinking about doing a question like this when I was watching this episode last night. And, before I answer the true question, here's my rant about child pageants: When Marleigh's mom says: she just loves doing pageants! And then you see her child crying when putting makeup - MAKEUP!! actual lipstick and eyeliner - on her 2 and a half year old, I want to shoot that mom! It is beyond wrong to enter your children into a world where they think only looks get them places. It's sad. Now, what Kayleigh was doing - the natural pageants with no fake hair, eyelashes, or tans - I was fine with. Because those encourage inner beauty! I think it's so wrong for a 5 year old to get a spray tan. Oh! And did you see the one where they were shaving a 7 year old's legs?? And getting her highlights? And fake nails? Jesus! Ha ha sorry, rant over. Back to the question: Marleigh - hate it! So much. As you said, Leigh is masculine. Plus, it makes an already pretty trashy name even trashier; which is hard to achieve. Kayleigh - This is ok. It used to be on my favorites, but not anymore... Yet, it's my favorite of these. By the way, did you see her sister's name?! Anzley! Good God. They can't even spell it right... I can't remember if it was Ainzley or Anzley but either way, it's a boy's name spelled incorrectly! Story - now this one just takes the cake. How horrid! I think it's great if you're talking about bed time books. Good God. Story is not a freakin name! My friend's last name is Storey, which is cool as a last name, but it's not a first name. It's an object, for God's sake... I feel so bad for poor Story and Marleigh, not just because of their names, but because of their screwed up adult life they will have because of these pageants. Whenever I watch this with my mom, she jokingly says: "Where did I go wrong with you? I could've done this for you, but no, I was selfish." LOl At least Kayleigh will know that beauty comes from within, instead of the spoiled brats like Story. Kay sorry about that rant... It needed to get out of my system. Ha ha. I watch the show because I think it's ridiculous what these parents do to their children. Also, I watch because of the names. On one of them, a little girl was named Kaleigha. Horrible
What is YOUR opinion on Toddlers and Tiaras?
So I sit down after a busy day and turn on the tv. Toddlers and Tiaras is on. I think there are some good things about a toddler pageant but at the same time I hate that some parents put bikinis on their little girls. They don't know what kind of men are watching this show. What do YOU all think about this show?

Are kids pageants like that show on TV Toddlers and Tiaras?
To fairly answer this question, I will first state that reality shows definitely take most things above and beyond context. I would say this is also true for Toddlers and Tiaras. I’ve attended and judged several child pageants (mainly glitz pageants). One of the pageants I’ve judged was the Gold Coast Pageants in California. I’ve also coached girls for this pageant. They have been featured on Toddlers and Tiaras quite a few times. In my opinion, I would say their pageant was accurately represented on the show.However, the representation of the pageant organization on the show is not necessarily the same as the representation of the contestants and the parents. There are families that take competing extremely serious and there are families that simply enjoy the pageant experience. Without judgement, I’m sure there are reason for both. Shows like Toddlers and Tiaras seek out the extreme families who have prepared and worked really hard to win. A lot of times shows have edited down to the most intense moments and taken things that were said behind the scenes out of context.So, if you’re thinking about entering your child in a kid pageant, consider why you are doing it first. Does your child want to do it? How do you feel about winning or loosing? Lastly, don’t base your opinion and feelings on a T.V. show. Go to a kid pageant to see for yourself.
Doesn't the show "Toddlers and Tiaras" make you sick?
Kids should be kids, not having to get spray on tans, have their hair done every day, and put on makeup like this is the sickest show I have ever seen it should be taken off of TV.
