i watched Little Ms. Philippines in the tv today. It is pageant for toddlers 3 up to 6 years old. they show their wittiness and talents. When the winner was announce, of the three, one didn't make it. The very young kid was crying her heart out, u can see that she was praying. It was heartbreaking for a mother like me to see my kid lose and at her very young age feel frustration, rejection and disappointment. I don't know, I juts find it a little harsh in a very nice disguise way. Should very young kids join contests that may break their heart and feel rejection?

Yes the exploitation of children in such a manner is really something that has without fail sicked me just a little bit. There are just going to be a lot of times where parents don't see their children, as you know their children. Just merely their meal ticket to a little fame and glory a lot of the time and it is something that a lot of these children cannot handle.
There is just a lot of seediness about a lot of these children beauty pageants right out there. Plus it exposes children to the wrong types of people, the type that you don't want focusing on their children. Plus it can be really something that is harsh and frustrating, to deal with something like that. And a lot of these parents push their children, that I'm sure there's going to be issues as they grow up later on.
