yes, wow. Well, it's a terrible show dont EVER watch it. Its just teaching kids they have to look pretty to get somewhere in the world. Even though they dont want the girls looking sexy, it's full of striptease and brattyness. And its the parents who'll be paying, believe me, all you pagaent moms who are out their on common sense reading this review now. You could all you some, right now. I dont know about you, but I wouldn't want my four year old looking older than me.

What Parents Need to Know
About Toddlers & Tiaras
Parents need to know that this reality show is all about child beauty pageants -- which is a hot-button issue for some people. Physical beauty is definitely emphasized, but contestants also talk about practice and hard work. Depending on your view of pageants, you'll either be appalled or reassured by what you see. Either way, at least there's no strong language, violence, or drinking/smoking to worry about.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about beauty pageants, particularly those featuring young children. What standards of beauty are they based on? How do you think participating in (or just watching) these competitions impacts kids? Families can also discuss how it changes a reality/documentary show when there's no narrator explaining what's going on. Does it make a difference when a show is told in the voices of the participants? Does that make a difference in your opinion of the pageants?

Passion for Pageants
As my children compete in pageants, it's cool to see some of the other little girls out there and use some as examples to show my daughters what NOT to act like. My daughters may be divas, but they're not brats! The only bad part is that they show so many horrid pageant children, people stereotype pageant people like me! The other day when I took my kids grocery shopping and wore my pageant mom shirt, people kept shooting us these really weird looks. I don't see what's wrong with pageants- they teach my kids self confidence and how to take charge of situations!
- I rate this title off for age 7 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
- Negative role models
stupid
i watch this show becuase i think its funny to laugh at the little sluts.We need to understand that its not okay to become that way at a young age. think how their lives will be affected because of this show. its 110% okay for girls to be cute - i mean im really vain- but not in that way.
- I rate this title off for age 11 and give itMy concerns are:
I hate the whole idea
I just hate the whole idea of the show. They are turning the little girls into something their not. they make them wear makeup, and the outfits are just outrageous for little girls. i saw a comercial trying to get people to watch it and a little girl was being very hateful and rude. its just turning the litle girls into little monsters.
- I rate this title off for age 4 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive consumerism
- Negative role models
Just plain horrible! Look at the message it's sending our little girls!
