Couple of things I learned during my time as a teacher 1) Parents are st..*cough* obvlivious to most of the things they do for their kids. They buy them things that kids dont need, nor that would be considered appropiate only to turn and raise hell and blame anything else should something go awry 2) Parents will succumb to pressure, both from their kids and from other parents, who will deem them as "cruel" for not getting their kids that shinny $300 toy that just came out. (Ive been indirectly guilty of helping to get a kid toys as I work in retail so have the connections so to speak on when and where to get a product) 3) Now to take my glove off the parents face for a moment, a toy isnt going to have that gigantic of an impact on kids long term. I have seen many that just want it for the fad and quickly throw it away 6 months later. Really electronics are what stays the longer time around. Link to post Share on other sites

You're an adult, you can do whatever you want, but there's no denying this is at the very least sexualised in the clothing (and frankly it seems very fetishistic to me). Kids don't need this sort of culture to grow up in, it's dangerous for both their future wellbeing and present safety if it becomes normalised to dress small children in a sexualised manner (encouraged by "toys" such as these). And, ya know, no need to condescend @Pan Ficto. (on hiatus?); they're doing what they feel is right for their kids. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 @Jade Cross Oh, I definitely get that parents can be in denial that they have done anything wrong. People can be this way about other things in life, too; it just carries over into parenting as well. But as long as they're blaming other people or things, they will keep making mistakes and having to live with whatever the consequences are. It wouldn't be necessary to place any blame if they were being honest with themselves. Link to post Share on other sites

Whore*of*Mensa Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Are people seriously saying this is a threat to the morals and well-being of children? 😂 It's just very very silly. It's adults that sexualise things, not children, and nobody who has had children hasn't spent time talking about poop - specially when they're in that particular phase of development...Just stay calm, I'd say!! The kids are alright 😂 And why are people having a go at parents again? Over this? Such a fabulous demonstration on how parents get judged over the most trivial of issues. This isn't a moral issue it's just a toy!!! Either you're OK with glittery poops or you're not. Either way your kid's probably going to live to tell the tale. Link to post Share on other sites

When you genuinely talk to a parent that youre concerned for their kids and the response the parent makes is an overly dramatisized "Omg, I dont know, theyre a good kid" even though they are exhibiting troubling behavior or you repeatedly try to find ways to help the kid, and the parents dont budge; to then come at the end of the year and threaten with sueing because their kid is failing the course, yea, hard to think that parents are even bothering. Also my groups were always the best behaved to the point where the schools principal would look in awe and sometimes state that I needed to loosen up a bit as it was causing other teachers to feel inadequate because they couldnt control their own groups. Im not saying that managing kids is/should be easy; had to deal with alot of things but my kids learned to respect me just as I learned to level with them as a teacher. I could be the fun teacher but they knew that when it was down to business, they needed to behave, which is more than I can say for their parents.

It’s just toys it’s someone like you who sexualize kids toys. Children wouldn’t understand such things and it wouldn’t be affecting them. When i was a young teenager i’ve read and seen many books, movies and series about sex, romanticism, sexual jokes and lightly dressed teenage girls who thinks they’re adults but aren’t. Has it affected my lifestyle? No cause i’m not interested in that stuff and have my own life. Some have seen such things when they were younger but found out that they are asexuals later in their lifes. I hate such lines cause not all kids and teenagers wanna live that way.

Guest Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 @Jade Cross I think I'm actually done with serious online interactions with people where there is a clear misunderstanding and there could potentially be disagreement because I've noticed that it generally doesn't lead anywhere productive and people seem to seek out conflict on the internet because they enjoy winding themselves up. Not saying that you do this because I don't know what you do but I'm going to just say that that wasn't me trying to target you or @Whore*of*Mensa or anyone. I was just trying to say that everyone makes mistakes and it's not that one group is more correct than the other. Link to post Share on other sites

Eva Blue Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 @Whore*of*Mensa @Cocothecoconut I'm not saying that it'll ruining the state of children's mental health (I just thought this was so ridiculous I should share how weird it looks) but, consider child beauty pageants i think. These children THEMSELVES are not trying to be sexual, but the adults in their lives are showing them that they cannot be beautiful if they don't win a tin crown, or if they don't pancake their skin in layers of makeup, or use temporary facelifts (with needles) or, do sexualized dance routines in skimpy outfits for a panel of adults that destroys any self worth they've fostered if they let down mommy. Children's formative years aren't the be all end all, but I've done enough early childhood psychology to understand that role models, play and toys decide on what a child thinks is healthy/normal/socially acceptable...and I dunno if filling your face with botox for the approval of others or thinking that shitting yourself is cool is necessary a good message to impart on our youths. I'm not comfortable policing how others dress, but some adults ARE slimy and WILL be looking at kids in gross ways, so I PERSONALLY (my opinion, don't get it twisted) think toys that encourage sexualized dress in people under adolescence is just priming them for harrassment. This was all just supposed to be funny and I don't appreciate the tone you've used to others on this thread. There, I've given my opinion, others have give theirs and you've given yours. I actually liked hearing your sides of it, but accusing teachers (as a group) of being ignorant or saying "someone like you" just for giving their opinion is just being needlessly confrontational.

Whore*of*Mensa Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 @Eva Blue Sorry if you didn't like my tone, but it was parents as a group who were accused of being ignorant, and I will always react to that as a parent. I wasn't being particularly serious myself. We do live in a messed up society - but to blame parents for this is overestimating our power - whether we buy a toy or don't buy a toy is a drop in the ocean in reality! Most parents aren't getting botox or taking their kids to beauty pageants, and that's not really relevant to this particular toy. I've got plenty of thoughts re sexualisation, but I'll keep them to myself - again, not particularly relevant anyway.. Link to post Share on other sites
Eva Blue Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 @Whore*of*Mensa Thank you for the apology. That's kinder then many people I've interacted with. To clarify, with the pageants I was more or less trying to convey how ideas surrounding children shape their minds and body image, and pageants are a great example. I was likening it, because I found the commercial to sexualize what in essence is a child-shaped body, and while funny, made me feel the same unease as those little pageant girls idolizing tiny swimsuits and twerking for crowds of adults. It feels sinister, since they don't understand that its seen as sexual, while adults do (both the toys and the pageants). Though I agree, you're right. Generalizing parents isn't good and they're doing the best they can under the circumstances. :^) Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely know what you mean. I remember when my daughter was little, hating high heel dress-up shoes for little girls and make up too..The problem is, when you show the child your horror at these things, then you can make them feel ashamed - but you're projecting your own feelings onto them. They're just copying adults, there is nothing sexual within them at all - they're having fun. So, it's a difficult balance between letting them pretend to be a grown-up, hiding your own discomfort that it can make them appear to be sexual, and not encouraging it... Pageants are another thing, we actually don't have those in the UK but I watched a programme on them once and they are CREEPY! Definitely very sinister. Link to post Share on other sites
