Why yes, it is fabulous!
Little girls are made to be beautiful.
They have the sweetest voices, hair that has not been tortured (yet) and a face that could make anyone melt.
This why pageants exist!
Pageants are the perfect place for parents to show off what they made from scratch.
Little angels of grace and sophistication that are bursting with self-esteem.
Naysayers of the pageant world think the glitz and glamour are harmful for a child's self image, but it couldn't be farther from the truth.
Teaching young girls to take pride in their looks, be competitive and learn how to deal with losing is essential to having a positive self image.
Some pageant parents have been known to take it a bit too far, but thats usually not the case.
All the negativity surrounding pageants are probably due to a mother who had a nasty attitude when her child lost.
Teaching children that the world won't always go their way and that sometimes they will lose is a positive thing.
The talent portion of pageants allows girls to show off what their momma gave em'!
Some girls sing and others dance, but they always look like they're having fun doing it.
That's the best part- having fun.
Pageants let girls make friends outside of school, experience the feeling of being beautiful and makes them more outgoing and competitive.
Children who want to participate should be allowed to do so without any negativity.
