I think they're cute. Kids walk on their tip-toes so I think they can probably walk in them. haha!!

Yeah, I kinda get the whole sexual-high heel thing but I think it's just what context you look at it.

One thing I love about watching old movies or TV shows -or at least newer ones that are set in previous decades -is that kids dressed liked kids. Say what you want about the rest of 1950's pop/social culture, but I love how children were dressed then. They looked ready to play, not ready to stand on the street corner:




While I do question the sensibility of putting a little girl in a dress to play, at least it beats her wearing heels and feather boas.

Those Wife and Mommy trainers scare the hell out of me. Because that's all they are -realistic baby dolls that piss and shit themselves so the little girl can get accustomed to thinking wiping ass is fun, play cleaning sets (with name brands!) so the little girl can be trained into believing scrubbing floors is a hoot. It'd be one thing if these toys were targeted at both boys and girls, but they're not. If actually changing diapers and washing dishes isn't fun, why are little girls being told that playing at it is?

I don't have a problem with cooking and kitchen sets, because a lot of ads and packaging contain boys too. The gender neutrality eases the gender role training model that's present in other "lifestyle" toys IMO, and a lot of people would argue actually cooking is fun, anyway.

I have a 4 year old daughter and she seems to be instinctively attracted to this sort of crap - as hard as I try to keep her away from things like this, there is always something that creeps in, next thing I know she wants me to buy the most inappropriate clothes (which I can't believe shops are selling). Why is society trying to sexualise our little girls?! It frightens the SHIT out of me!

Disgusting. Just another step down for society.

Anyone wondering if this is dangerous for a baby's neck or back? Hell, they're bad for fully grown women! I know they mesh down but still, isn't that just as bad?

They're not designed for walking on, so I doubt there's any physical damage being done.

But babies are going to walk no matter what's on their feet. How do you tell a baby "Now with these heels on, don't walk, okay?"

WTF?

The heels are made of a soft material that collapses, but I imagine it'd still hinder a little one just getting her bearings.

I swear there are some parents out there who consider their kids as accessories and not living beings hence why all this bullshit is out there and they are the ones all this junk is targeted at. They see this shit and are go "OMG that would look so cute on my living doll"

There should be laws to prevent this kind of crap

So Sexy, So Soon: The Sexualization of Childhood in Commercial Culture
April 28th, 2008 ·

An entire generation of young girls is being psychologically damaged by the onslaught of marketing tactics surrounding inappropriate “sexy” children’s fashions, toys, music, books and sexualized images in the media, and parents should be very concerned.

According to the American Psychological Association, in their Report of the APA Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls, girls as young as 4 and 5 years old are no longer wearing “old-fashioned” clothing styles but are now wearing push-up bras, thongs, mini or micro-mini skirts, sequined crop tops and other hooker-style “fashionable” outfits. Well, how about that? Walk into any number of department or boutique stores aimed at young girls, and you will find clothes that were once reserved for fully grown, adult women akin to Fredericks of Hollywood.

(yes, these come in a size 4 Toddler) eek

Young girls are being bombarded by images they see on television, in magazines, children’s books and toys, and are facing greater pressures to “fit in”. Supermarket giant Tesco came under fire again for selling a padded push-up bra for girls as young as seven, and it’s not the first time Tesco has come under fire for selling similar products to young girls and teens. The in-depth APA Report says the prevalence of eating disorders, depression and low self-esteem, has greatly increased in very young girls, also saying that girls are more likely to have underage sex as a direct result of the media’s sexualization of children.

Ten year-old girls are sliding on their low-rise jeans over “eye-candy” panties, wearing slutty Halloween costumes, and high heeled shoes, with young girls worrying about their weight and physical appearance at much younger ages. Young girls, and young boys, are wearing racy, obscene and violence-related clothing, including T-shirts with alcohol and sexual innuendo messages displayed.


Little girls are learning how to be “sexy” and how being pretty is important, as well as learning how they can look like Bratz dolls, according to Diane Levin, PhD. Professor of education at Wheelock College in Boston. Levin is soon to release her new book, So Sexy, So Soon: The Sexualization of Childhood in Commercial Culture, stressing that the problem is not that children are learning about sex; the problem is what they are learning about relationships. Girls are being taught to be sexy and that being sexy is extremely important, even at a very young age. They’re not learning how to treat others as people, they’re learning to treat others as objects, says Levin.

Make no mistake about the sexual influence on young girls, from the likes of celebrity stars Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hanna Montana, Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears, Lindsay Lohan and numerous other high-profile actors, actresses and musicians. The consequences of the sexualization of girls in media today are very real and are likely to be a negative influence on girls’ healthy development, says Eileen Zurbriggen, the APA’s task force chairwoman. “As a society, we need to replace all these sexualized images with ones showing girls in positive settings. The goal should be to deliver messages to all adolescents - boys and girls - that lead to healthy sexual development.”

Parents think it’s clever or “cute” to allow their young girls to wear tight T-shirts that say, “So many boys, so little time”, or smiling as their young daughter sings “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?”, but likely won’t be so amused when they’re child becomes sexually active or pregnant by the time they turn 12.

Parents need to protect their children as much as possible. As much attention as there has been about protecting kids from pedophiles, parents can either play a major role in contributing to the sexualization of children, or they can play a protective and educational role.

The APA recommends that parents support campaigns, companies and products that promote a healthy and positive image of girls and boys. Complain to manufacturers, advertisers, television and movie producers and retail stores that “sell sex” with their products targeting children. Parents should be very careful that they’re not raising Lolita in the Classroom, but encourage girls to become involved in sports and other extracurricular activities that promote talents, skills and abilities over their physical appearance.

Talk to your young children about sex, even as young as 3 or 4 years old, because they’re already learning about sex and “sexy” and how girls “should” be sexy to get attention from boys. If you haven’t paid close attention to what kids are seeing on mainstream television and in movies, you might be stunned to see the flirtacious female characters, sexual innuendos, racy body language and the importance placed on being “hot”.

Even if you’re not a parent of girls, but only have boys, you’re still not out of the woods. Consider the effects sexualized girls have on boys, and your feeling of relief of not having girls to be worried about will likely be gone for good. Fashion trends in clothing for boys depict disrespectful, violent themes with sayings on T-shirts such as, “Mr. Pimp”, “Mr. Well-Hung” and similar disgusting messages.

As a parent, have you noticed how children are being sexualized by marketers, celebrities, and other media? Are you concerned about the effects this is or may have on your own children? What are you doing to protect your own children from these pressures?
