Toddlers In Tiaras Rhetorical Analysis

There are child molesters that are informed where these children will be and where the children and their families live; due to the reality show, thousands and thousands of dollars that could and should be used for education or something that is beneficial to their child’s future, and most important in my book; the child’s current life. These young girls are subject to “glitz and glam” because they are forced to do it by their parent(s). Granted, the child could love to do it, but I feel as though any young child from age two to age eight or nine is going to be excited to do pageants because they watch television and see how things are. They see the princesses or the young television stars getting their makeup or hair done. They also see people who they are around, for example their family members or just people walking down the street. Small children are always subject to impression and change because they always see how the older people are and they want to be “just like them.” The stasis questions are also answered throughout the text. I found that something did happened, young girls are, to put it simply, in danger participating in these pageants. Next I found that the nature of the thing was not pleasant. Lastly I found that the actions that should be taken are to either put an age

The article “Toddlers in Tiaras” was written by Skip Hollandsworth, and was published by Good Housekeeping on August 2011.The author argues that child pageants can have negative effects on the young girls’ lives. Hollandsworth wrote this article in response to the popularity of the TV show “Toddlers and Tiaras”. This article “Toddler in Tiaras” can be divided into five sections. In the introduction, the author presents an example of a young girl getting ready for a pageant. Hollandsworth then introduces a pageant girl by the name Eden Woods and her mother Mickie. The author Skip Hollandsworth describes every little detail about Eden’s process of getting ready from all the thick layers of foundation they’re putting on the 6-year-old girl face,

“Toddlers and Tiaras” was a hit television show that premiered on the channel TLC on December 12, 2008.  “Toddlers and Tiaras” ranked up a number of two million viewers per episode, which went on for seven seasons.  This show was so successful that a sequel called “Another Toddlers and Tiaras” aired on August 24, 2016.  “Toddlers and Tiaras”, not surprisingly, took a look into the lives of young pageant queens and what goes on behind the stage and all the makeup.  Many, but not all, young girls love to dress up and wear their mother’s high heels, but this trend has been taken up a notch in the last few decades with prizes and money now at stake.  Some people consider, what is being called child beauty pageants, cute, while some believe that it is disgusting and ruining children.  In this article, the different viewpoints on child beauty pageants can show as to why it can affect a child’s development positively and negatively.

Toddlers & Tiaras is extensively promoting the idea of having a perfect “Barbie doll” image and beauty standards that are out of reach. In addition, psychologists and psychiatrists agree that beauty pageants support negative female body image problem which can lead onto major disorders both mentally and physically. For example: eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder or depression. Mental health experts have already been seeing a rise in eating orders growing from younger ages. On an episode of toddlers and tiaras healthy 8-year old, Ever Rose was put on a diet so she could fit into her competition dress. Disturbingly, Ever Rose lost so much weight on the diet that her dress was too big .I think this is horrible; the message that beauty is everything has gone way too far. Another negative message spreading is that abusing your daughter for money is acceptable. On an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras a mother forced her “absolutely terrified” daughter to get her eyebrow waxed and even commented at the end “There! Doesn’t that look pretty?” while her daughter was shaking in fear. Another parent feeds her daughter nicknamed ‘Honey Boo Boo ‘“Go-Go juice” (a mix of Mountain Dew and Red Bull) and says that she could be doing worse by giving her daughter alcohol. Fortunately action has been taken against these abusive mothers and multiple have been sent to court. To add to this, contestants are now losing sight of what truly matters- education and schooling. On the ‘Le Maison De Paris’ episode of Toddlers & Tiaras contestants and their parents were asked how they think you pronounce a number of French words. They all replied with no effort and no sense of wonder. This

As mentioned previously, child beauty queens are often found with makeup, and outfits that are to seductive for young children. As well as this, children may also be posed in semi-sexulaized positions for photoshoots. Due to this, many child predators are using that as an excuse, as Elizabeth Day writes, "We do know that predators or paedophiles continually tend to justify their interest in children by saying children are sexual beings. That children are now given a channel to become little Lolitas, to be portrayed as older, to almost become mini adults--these are all trends that give legitimacy to that kind of thinking" (Day). Because of some of the clothing that parents are allowing their children to wear, predictors are using it as an excuse for their interest in young children. Unfortunately, in worst case scenario, the public may end up with a case like Jonbenet Ramsey’s. In an article, Billy Reed mentions Jonbenet Ramsey, a six year old beauty queen who was found sexually assaulted and murdered in the basement of her home in 1996 (Reed). Many have claimed that her assault had a connection to the pageants. While it is a likely possibility, the case remains closed to this day, so no one will know. Even while still alive, Jonbenet did not have a childhood. She often participated in competitions that forced children children to

There is nothing wrong with little girls wearing cute pink dresses and walking down a stage to perform a few adorable stunts or tricks. However, there is everything wrong when these actions could potentially lead to long term damages in young girls. And therein lies the problem with child beauty pageants, they have the potential to create long term issues for the many of the female children who are asked to participate in them. This is the stance that “Toddlers and Tiaras” takes regarding the issue of child beauty pageants; the author of the article, Skip Hollandsworth, asserts that “many psychologists believe that developmental and emotional problems can stem from pressure and value system that pageants embody” (493). Hollandsworth in her

“Mommy I am tired, and I don’t want to perform,” a young girl pleads as her mother urges her to go up on stage. At the tender age of four, children are not independent enough to make their own decisions, and many parents take advantage of this by forcing their young kids to compete in pageants. Money prizes, trophies, and praise overcome the better judgement of many parents who continuously spend thousands of dollars on glitz and glam for their children. Childhood beauty pageants are continuously on the rise due to reality shows that follow pageant children and their families. Many parents seem to find nothing wrong with having their children compete in them, but beauty pageants are not great activities for young kids to partake in. Childhood beauty pageants should be banned because they sexualize young children, force children to use artificial means to gain self-esteem, and can lead to long term psychological effects.

Beauty pageants have been around for some time and have even become apart of our American society, however parents don't realize or comprehend the risk they are taking with their children. Society has made the beauty pageant industry seem appealing, especially with shows like "Toddlers and Tiaras". Meanwhile, young girls are being forced to grow up in an environment where they are taught to look and act like adults. Instead of having normal encounters with costumes, high heels, and makeup, they are being forced by their mothers to wear tight sexualizing dresses, more makeup than most women, and even false teeth to present themselves as beautiful. These factors could lead these children to have depression,

Dazzling dresses, sparkling jewelry, and perfect makeup sounds like every girl’s dream, right? Sadly, these are just a few of the things that are used to lure children into the clutches of the detrimental world of pageants. Child pageants may seem to be fun and games, just look pretty to win a prize, but the damages it can do to a young girl brings new light to the subject. Parents are submitting their kids to be judged by fully grown adults, based solely on their child’s incredibly altered appearances. These parades of artificial beauty can lead to both low self-esteem, an inflated self-image and irregular growth in the developing children involved.

The seven-year-old girl caught a glimpse of herself in a small, cracked mirror as she was walking towards the stage. After spending countless hours sitting in a chair getting her hair and makeup styled to perfection, she looked up to see an unrecognizable version of herself: a little girl with a spray tan, lush lashes and bright red lips. She eerily resembled a plastic barbie doll. With her face covered in cosmetics, she couldn’t help but feel that somewhere hidden behind all the layers of makeup was a small, innocent child whose thoughts and beliefs were being negatively altered due to a Child Beauty Pageant competition. Many people believe that this competition promotes self-confidence and social skills, but unfortunately, some fail to realize that participating in these contests harm more children than it does them good. First of all, Child Beauty Pageants drastically lower the self-esteem of children and adults, which then tend to bring forward a series of disorders at an early age. They also destroy the childhood every kid deserves to have, pulling them away from activities that are essential in building their character. Finally, all the procedures the contestants have to unwillingly go through can be, and sometimes are, considered to be child abuse. All these impacts play a large role in the future of these young contestants, and can possibly ruin their upcoming lives as adolescents and adults.

For years, we were told from when we were little to when we grow up as an adult, to “never judge a book by its cover.” But apparently dressing children’s up in immoderate dresses and overly excessive makeup, while throwing them on a stage to perform or “show their talents” like monkeys for the world to judge, are still considered as the same value? Even now, there is a show called Toddler’s and Tiara, showing the backstage and the daily lives of children who thrown into the world of pageants, all for inane title that has no benefactors and no use for life. Pageants like this give children’s who are easily impressionable the idea that “looks does matter.” But in society, the matter of “looks” is condemned, as a fact, to not determine one’s character.

The world of tiaras and crowns is a world worth looking into. Sporting events are just like beauty pageants in terms that they “encourage competition and emphasize winning”. But looking deeper, however, in world of child beauty pageants, make-up, hair, and dresses matter more. “Looks are the only thing that matters.” Thus, Children are getting early lessons on “selling themselves” (The High Cost of Beauty).

Every little girl dreams of becoming a princess. With today 's society, children are becoming them at a younger and younger age. Beauty pageants have become a phenomenon in American culture. Miss America winners are role models for these girls. They represent the perfect woman, or at least perfect to society 's standards. The world of child beauty pageants has become a source of fascination in today 's society. Networks such as TLC and WE TV have produced popular reality shows focusing on the miniature sized divas because it is what is selling. One can not help but wonder how parading around children like they 're trophies can be a positive activity. Beauty pageants are not healthy for children to go through. The pageants force young girls to act more mature and exhibit age-inappropriate sexuality, and can also lead to negative body image and mental health problems later on. Just because child beauty pageants are acceptable in society, does not mean that they should be. Society either needs to get rid of the child beauty pageants or they need to figure out how to make them more age appropriate.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the negative effects of children beauty contest on its contestants. Although many people argue that there are some benefits of this contest such as build up the confidence, self-esteem, public speaking skills, tact, and poised it is also true that it can result to negative psychological effects and interferes in child development worldwide. The Toddlers and Tiaras, and Little Miss Perfect are popular reality TV shows that features young girls the real hardship and obstacles from their mother’s pressure or preparation for the pageant. They are ages from 1 to 12 years old, with main goal of winning and get the tiara and money or ribbon or teddy bears. Generally, the parents of these young girls believe and make decision that the beauty pageant is okay. Pageants, particularly those designed for younger children, focus primarily on appearance, attire, and perceived “cuteness.”

Glamour, glitter and glitz: the false foundation of a beauty pageant. All around our sickening world young children attired with sparkling jewels, painted faces, and their small heads weighted down by artificial manes cemented by layers of hairspray, flaunt themselves on catwalk in a way to please the audience, only to be surveyed by a panel of merciless judges and an over eager crowd of desperate, critical adults who dare call themselves parents. Time after time, all around this frightful planet, little girls are being taught that the worth of a person is solely based on appearance, competing to be “the prettiest”, and experiencing an overwhelming sense of disappointment and hurt when the title is ripped from their grasp. Time after time, there are examples of young girls screaming in terror as their mother’s approach them with spray cans poised, a manic look of desire in their eyes as their hunger for their child to be crowned “the most beautiful” grows with every drop of makeup, every inch of spray tan, every centimetre of hair extension, all bombarded on their infant. Tell me why, time after time, despite the facts practically screaming in our faces, there is no end to the child beauty pageant, no end to the humiliation, and no end to the dehumanisation of young girls treated like Barbie dolls.
