young girls' clothing- slutty or not?

Exactly! It's the parents' fault! But then, I've seen clips where a mother has posted her two year old daughter dancing like a poll-dancer or stripper to Britney Spears. Why are people like this allowed to have children? They're just bating the pedophiles and creating self-obsessed, narccistic daughters.

 

true point!
Its like the childrens pageants, with such young girls being showed off like barbie dolls. Mostly it is the parents pushingf them

 

It depends really.. hmm.. but i dont think so

 

That's a confusing message for a child. "You can be completely naked if you want, take off all your clothes. But I'm not buying you that revealing swimming costume that your friend is wearing."

Beyond the ages of about three years old, I would never allow my child to be in the nude on a public beach. I actually would probably never allow them to be naked on a public beach before that, but after three I'd certainly consider it an issue. I don't want any sick wandering eyes on a childs naked body. There is definitely a huge difference between being natural and sexualised clothing, I agree with you. But to the child and the mind of the very people we worry about looking at children inappropriately, it's all the same. At the least, a little girl on a beach should be wearing bikini bottoms. By about seven or eight, she should be wearing a top or a one piece too. I may even teach my child that it's acceptable to be nude in the privacy of your own home with people you know and love until a certain age, and after a while it should be taught that it's only acceptable to show certain areas of your body to people you know and who are the same sex unless they are siblings. It's not about being uptight about nudity, but about teaching your child about modesty. It's unfortunate that you can't teach a child to be content and comfortable with their own bodies, but it's also about protection from unwanted eyes when it comes to areas that are usually covered by underwear. Some girls start their periods at 8 and 9 years old and their bodies can start maturing before this.

Regarding sexy clothing, while I consider the majority of these posts to be considerate regarding the sexualisation of little girls, some of them are too OTT. I personally don't think that any girl should show off too much flesh. I'm 24 and I have unwanted eyes even now when I'm dressed in a potato sack. But at 16 I was grown and I was sexual. At 16/17/18 the hormones are there. I think it's important not to dress like a hussy, but by this age it's all about taste, not the vulnerability of falling into a trap of advertised sexiness. At 16 I wore skinny jeans and a small top or flat knee high boots, thick tights and a mid-length skirt. However, my mum never let me wear a top that was too low, a skirt that was too short or too tight and never let me show my midriff either. She taught me that showing too much flesh was distasteful. I think that a lot of the (said) clothes that are targeted towards young girls lack taste for women of any age, let alone a little girl.

My friends daughter is 5 and loves trying on my clothes, heels and wearing my nail varnish and makeup. However, the clothes and shoes she tries on are tasteful and pretty. I know this, because I have great taste She's also clever enough to know that she's a little girl and mustn't set foot outside the house with makeup on. Her wardrobe consists of beautiful dresses and bold girly prints. Her skirts and dresses are puffy and sit beyond her knees. When she goes to a party or joins us for an occasion, she wears a puffy princess party dress. She has great taste for a little girl. Teach your kids well, and they will reap in benefits.

 

I agree with you. I saw a SIX year old today in Jefferson mall wearing hot shorts that said juicy on the butt!! WTF?! Its not like these girls even have their training bras yet. Its sickening because these young girls are being exploited by their parents from a very young age. I plan to have children when I finish colledge and they won't be wearing skimpy little bikinis at age 5

 

Hello si.....I really think that there are some clothes that are very inappropriate for kids... so I agree... but then again, at least our 6 year olds can walk around looking like Beyonce or Brittany Spears ..........
