Should the parents of child Beauty pageant contestants enjoy a psychological screening beforehand?
I'm watching a documentary on BBC3 and the parents of these kids are evil. one of them tells her daughter (9 y/o) off for wanting to wear her glasses and not her contacts, she said she didn't ponder her daughter would ever be cute when she was born and gave her plastic surgery at 7! Another got told by her daughter that she didn't want to be within the pageant and she was told 'well sometimes i don't want to go to work but i put the action in'.
every one of the children look depressed, they're saying they want to do it, but it sounds rehearsed and like i said, looking into their eyes they look extremely depressed.
I know not all pageant mum's are close to this, but surely there should be some sort of screening, to make sure these kids aren't being forced into something they don't want to do, and that their parents aren't insane, i denote one of them had a fake tan, at 9!
If my daughter (who's 2) come to me and said 'mum i want to be in a pageant' then i'd do it, but i'd remind her that it's about have fun, not winning, unlike some of the mums on this show.
The saddest part about pageant parents is that they own convinced themselves that they are doing it for their daughters and that their daughters are actually enjoying this fiasco of an experience. Pre-screening or psychological profiling of some kind seem like it would be a good idea, but inopportunely it will never happen.
yes. Half of those girls don't want to be in the pageant but their mom forces them to be in the pageant. I other hear stories of these pageant girls being depressed, have low self-esteem, and having eatting disorders. Yet their moms usually want them to compete because the mom never have the opportunity to. Its sad, and I doubt those kids really want to do it.
I'm watching the same programme and cannot believe how insane these mothers are. That woman who said that the mothers shouldn't spend money on hair, they should spend it on corrective surgery. WTF! And she also told the inhabitants about that girl's boss-eyes because she didn't think she deserve to win. There is something seriously wrong with these populace!
Also, I know exactly what you mean as well - none of these children look happy, they look depressed and dejected. The girl said "this is boring" when rehearsing and her mum still wouldn't stop! These people definitely need to be tested beforehand. It's not around the children, it's about themselves and it's totally depraved and sick!!
Edit: The only one I did actually deduce was not that bad was the woman who giving of admitted that her daughter was not very researcher, and that by encouraging her with the beauty pageants, at least possible she would be achieving something. I do believe that sometimes, beauty can be the only picking for some people.
I definately agree some of what these parents are doing to their children is verging on emotional and psycological abuse.
The mums on the programme are adjectives about winning, I saw this programme a couple of nights ago, continue til you see how one little girls big sister/choreographer reacts to the child not winning,. (i think its the scottish girl)
I needed to jump thru my TV and rattle her!! GRRR
I think any mother that want to subject their young child to parade around surrounded by fancy hairdos and tons of make-up so that they can be judged on how they look should enjoy a psychological screening.
i agree with you. these children are in extreme danger of growing up near self-esteem and hypervigilance issues because of these parents.
even mental illness. these parents could be ruining a life.
michael jackson was a devout example of this.
Answers: Personally I don't think their should be pageants. I suppose it is disgusting to parade around little girls and judge them on their appearance. The kids are being qualified at a very young age that beauty is the one and only thing that matters. You need to study toddlers in Tiaras on TLC. If you think what you watched be bad this is even worse. They put fake teeth, tans, hair extensions, etc on 2 year olds. I don't see how something approaching this is legal.
yes. they should.
i cannot stand those shows. those moms should
have their parental rights taken away. its horrible
what they do to those children.
I think is grotesque to do that but parents are weird about a lot of their kid's endeavours. Like you'll hear people swearing at little league games. And grown men getting in fights at in attendance kid's games. I have a friend who loved gymnastics but as soon as it was clear she wasn't a winner her parents wouldn't retribution anymore.
