Lately I have noticed a growing phenominom of young girls and teens striving to look like twenty year olds. So I can’t help but ask….

Before thinking the worst of me. I want to say that I have no qualms with young girls playing dress up or attending sleepovers that that revolve around playing beauty parlor. I believe it is an aspect of life that is beneficial for them to experience through play. In such a way that can boost their esteem while providing an introduction to becoming a woman. Not to mention it can create priceless memories shared between a mother and daughter. This is not much different than a father and son shaving side by side (the child is using a play razor of course) in front of a bathroom mirror. It seems these timeless pieces of childhood have become distorted. These days you are more likely to see young girls wearing a full makeup mask and acrylic nails believing it to be the norm.
I have seen it time and time again and I wonder what has happened?
These are the thoughts that tend to haunt my mind when I think about my daughter wanting to wear makeup.

What would you consider to be an acceptable circumstance for your daughter to wear make up?
