There are many different opinions on this so I wanna hear everyone's. I, for one, see no problem with it.
1) Obviously they enjoy it or when they went up on stage they'd act like complete shits and not do anything.
2) It's just like playing dress up at home with mommy's make-up.
3) If anyone wants to pull the pedophile card let me inform you, pedophiles don't just sit at home and watch Toddlers and Tiaras all day. They are everywhere, from the beach to the grocery store.

I'm not here to judge. I'm here to open your minds. Because I used to do pageants and I'm just fine.

    Children are supposed to be cute, not beautiful! :/

    So if your kid asked if they were beautiful, you'd say no, you're just cute.?

    Yeah, why not?

    That is what causes low self-esteem.

    My parents always told me I was cute and I would blush. That's not what bothered me. What bothered me was other people putting my looks down and being rejected so many times.

    Well yes, you tell your son they're cute. But you should always tell a daughter that they are beautiful.

    I can't think of anything more disgusting, than convincing your kids that they are "better" than anyone else. NO, it is not just like playing dress up at home - big difference between imagining and competing - one is for fun, the other is for dominance. I'm all for instilling a healthy dose of self respect in your child, but telling them they are SUPERIOR, or should FIGHT to be, is sick. You say you are OK? How would you know?

    How would I not be okay? I have my head set firmly on my shoulders, my feet planted on the ground. I'm confident with myself yet I've never felt superior. Have you actually went and watched one personally?

    Personally I cannot understand why little girls who are entered into beauty pageants are caked in make up. What is child like about that.

    I believe most are perpetrated for the mothers' egos more than the childrens' interest. And at that age children will follow their parents', particularly their mothers', lead; so it's difficult to say with any accuracy what the child actually wants.

    I take singular exception to those pageants in which the young lady has a $100 hairdo, more makeup than Tammy Faye, and an outfit most hookers would find trashy.

    I have watched these sexual exploitation of babies on the tv many time and am appalled at the disgusting display of hedonistic parents. This is child abuse and should be stopped.

    Could really do with an "other" opinion. I think they are fine so long as the kids aren't forced to do it by arrogant mothers
