Should young children be dressed the same as adults?

is it right for children as young as four to be expected to look fashionable and wear the same kind of clothes that adults do? when i say this i mean mini skirts, halter tops and things like that.

should we expect out kids to look perfect and not have a hair out of place? surely this will eventually have a consequence on the child at a later age with regards to body image,

i saw something on tv about a salon in LA where children as young as two were getting their hair dyed and nails manicured,

surely this is wrong and just encouraging our kids to grow up too quickly

If you are one of these parent that do dress their kids up like mini adults please comment i am interested to find out why this is happening

I think some parents are expecting way to much from their children. Children are suppose to run, jump, get dirty, and just have fun. I also think there is to much put in the heads of children that they have to be the best instead of just trying their best and having fun when playing sports. I think when children really play together it helps them develope skills that will help them later on in life.

And why not just love the children for being children. They are NOT little adults.

I think its unfair on the child. The can't even run around and play properly because they're so dressed up. I've seen little 4 year olds on high heels. What kind of damage is that going to cause in later life!

I find it very disturbing to see young children (%26lt;13) dressed in revealing clothes. I can only imagine that the paedophiles are having a field day.

The whole point of revealing clothes is to look 'sexy' and attractive to the opposite sex - and at that age, it just isn't right.

Should young children be dressed the same as adults?

I quite agree, my mum used to dress my sister and I in jeans, dungarees, and hand me downs from my two boy cousins to go out and play, we used to play in the fields and and old disused train station, so the clothes used to get wrecked, not that we cared about what we looked like. I didn't actually become interested in what I was wearing till I was about 15, my sister at about 13. I don't like seeing little kids with ear piercings and designer clothes, it does contribute to the loss of innocence, along with the fact that everyone is too scared to let their kids out of their sight now. So instead of getting to disappear all day and play, kids nowadays are dressed up in these daft clothes and plonked infront of the tv or computer, allowed out in the garden to play at best.... "don't get your gucci trousers alll dirty now!"

We live in a time when people do what is best in their own eyes. For some it is right and for others it is wrong. Personally, I think it is an ego problem.

When I wiz wee, I played in the street with ma pals. We used tae get really manky in the muck. I think that kiddies today should be able tae huv a great time in their wee togs withoot getting a roasting frae their folks. If ye want tae kit oot the wee yins in designer gear fur effect, then ye huv tae make sure that they huv some chill oot time outwith yer fancy ideas.!!!
