Ok moms, this one blows my mind. I am sitting here watching this crazy show called Toddler and Tiaras and it is so sad. I guess I just take it for granted at how much I love and adore Kaya and would never make her do anything that she doesn't want to do when it comes to fun activities as she gets older. These pageant mothers have there kids dressed as if they are 20 when they are 1 &2. The sad part is that some of them really don't want to be there and if they don't do perfectly on stage they parents show and sometimes vocalize their disappointment :( kids don't get to be kids with the love and affection that should just come naturally from parents sometimes. I just can't imagine letting my child feel like they are not good enough ever let alone at 2 years old. I can't believe this stuff really goes on. I would love to hear your thoughts mama's!!
The sad part with this show from what I can see is that the mothers are living through their little girls because they didn't become what they wanted to. They let themselves go and the disappointment they have with themselves is projected onto their kids if they don't do as well as they want them to ;( It is up to us as our children grow to show them as much love and positive attention possible. Our children are here for their own journey and we are here to teach them right and wrong, teach them how to be healthy, strong and independent.
Teaching your kids how to be healthy by getting them active from a young age as well as introducing the healthy foods and keeping it that way will give them the knowledge they need to succeed in the future with the choices of things they choose to do, not what we choose for them!!!
