I have a huge problem with sexualised slogans on childrenswear - I really just don't understand it.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to this, I take issue with the little padded bras and lingerie-esque underwear that I have, in the past, seen in stores such as Target. I don't understand the parents who seem so intent upon minimising their child's innocent years that they buy these for them!
I think the exposure to sexualised images andthe sexualisation of children in general has gotten a lot worse in the last decade and it really does put the development of children at a normal race at risk.
This is really inappropriate and just unnecessary, there is a time and place for this and i just don't think it sohuld be on kids clothing or even around where kids can see. Like the other comment - recently i saw soft stilletoes aimed at pre-walker infants.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the benefit any of these could have on any child.
Thanks for touching on the subject.

Not a fan at all, adults or children wearing these items, as the children are still able to see/read these slogans on any shirt. Children are subjected to way too much information on clothing/tv/shopping/billboards etc etc. Parents may think these are cute (out of mouth of babes) but it really shows their lack of understanding children's developement. Parents need to get back to basics and help with development not hinder.
