PRESCHOOLERS turning themselves into sexualised "mini-adults" by wearing bras, nail polish and lipstick are requiring psychological help in increasing numbers.
Child development experts said young girls were now entering their "tween" years between being a child and a teenager at the tender age of six - five years earlier than previously.
Experts said that by age six, girls needed branded clothes, at seven they wanted styled hair, by eight they were beginning diets, at nine they were styling their hair and by early teens were engaging in sex or sending sexually explicit text messages.
The Daily Telegraph yesterday found crop-top style bras for toddlers aged two to three on sale at a major department store, sparking outrage from parents.

1st Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
Romans 1:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
At least something is going well in Roman Polanski’s life.
That was good choice.
Preschoolers have no money and they cannot drive to the mall.
Hmmm, let me guess...she’s a “Smiley Virus” wannabee.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INSIGHT STRAIGHT FROM THE SCRIPTURE! This should be read each and every day by Christians for it clearly describes the world we live in now. The sexualization of children begins in the schools where they are forced to hear about matters their minds are not ready to conceptualize. In fact, that information probably scares some of them. We can only hope for some kind of cultural pressure which will roll all of this back to what is normal and healthy for us and our children.
One of the biggest fights my ex and I ever got into was when she was going to buy our 10 year old daughter a bikini. I won that battle but eventually lost the war. Actually, I got tired of fighting and surrendered.
Oarents need to learn the word “NO”
What the heck is wrong with these parents. I am still trying to get around the fact that my 13 year old likes a boy in her class. I just don’t see her in sexual terms. She understands she needs to dress modestly (thank goodness for her mother) and behave like a lady. I hope I have taught her what to expect from men in their treatment towards her - to never accept being treated like an object or not appreciated. I hope she can always come to me to discuss things - we do right now.

I realize that I am stating the obvious to the FR crowd but WHERE THE F**K ARE THE D**N PARENTS????????????? I have two little girls (9 & 6) and they sure as hell are not allowed to wear bra's, makeup, and lipstick. WTF is wrong with these kids parents? They are the ones with the problems and they are turning their kids into these freaks. Good grief...
Easy answer: they never grew up themselves, nor were expected to. Their little girls are simply dolls for playing dress-up, and some of that dress-up play including reminiscing about those days of sexual exploration (whether remembering personal events or regretting not making some attempts). They want their girls to be popular, either because they were, or because they regretted not being so... they want their girls to have everything that the other girls want, and TV tells them what to want. Etc
Porapeski is laughing.
you get what you put up with... and more of it!!!
This is an old problem - kids wanting to be like everyone else, thinking if they look and dress like hannah montana or britney spears they’ll be “popular”, etc etc. What’s “new” is that every 5 years or so, the kids falling for this crap are younger than the group before. You can bet that the mini bras and makeup wouldn’t be on the shelves if there wasn’t a market for it. It all comes back to the parents and the home environment. Kids mimic what they see - at home, on TV and the movies, in public. It’s not the kids who need psychological help, it’s the PARENTS.

2nd Timothy 2:
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
“PRESCHOOLERS turning themselves into sexualised “mini-adults” by wearing bras, nail polish and lipstick are requiring psychological help in increasing numbers.”
So, this means that more kids are being told “no” but they still carry on the way they do?
Is just saying no going to carry as much weight as exercising absolute parental authority? It appears that some parents out there need to empower themselves as such.
No wonder women vote for them...
