Toddlers & Tiaras

Most people will not be shocked to find out that many shows placed on the television network are not shows that were once viewed by the public many years ago. In recent years things on television have become more and more graphic and also are holding a much harsher impact on American society. This blog is to give you a little insight as to just how bad television ratings and demographic research has become.

In particular I find the show toddlers & tiaras to be one show on the rise that is not suitable for television or the health of young children. Time and time again I have tried to tune into this show and watch it with an open mind. However, after just a few short minutes I am very unhappy with what I am seeing. From a small child, mothers have thrown their little girl into make-up, hair extensions and heels to try to win pageants children literally do not understand anything about. The strenuous work and hours parents force their children to withstand simply to just enter a pageant is obsurd. The children will cry and throw tantrums and none the less become selfish to their own needs. Although children are solely relying on parental control for many years in the beginning of their life the habits and lifestyle these children are learning at a young age is not positive for their overall well being.

Growing up I never wore make-up or cared about how my hair was laying that day until I was in my early teens and could understand what that actually all meant and entailed. By teaching young girls it is proper to be the prettiest girl in the crowd and have the longest hair and be able to have the best talent you are showing kids that competition leads to success. In this context little girls are fighting, wanting to be the best at everything and not understanding what it means to lose one of these competitions. The long hours and days and parents become frustrated with their children is wrong. Also while watching this show I saw a mother give her child botox because it helped her keep a permanent smile. If people do not think something is wrong with that I just do not know what the world is coming to.

I would love to hear back from anyone who may have some feedback about this specific show & I will be posting similiarly with other shows on television.
