Check it out nau, even children are becoming sexualized these days. To what end?
When a child as young as 5 yrs old wears make up and sexually suggestive clothes, does it not ring a bell in your head? For God's sake, these children are literally made to look like adults. Pure perversion. I am sure Pedophiles are having a field day.
Sexualization occurs when a child’s value comes from only
his or her sexual appeal or behavior to
the exclusion of other characteristics.
They believe that their value depends
on their so called sex appeal.
Today’s children are bombarded by an array of
media glamorizing sex. It is found that girls start to self sexualize as young as
6-9 years old.
They believe they need to be sexy in order to be appreciated and
the present culture(which is fast spreading) is sending a very negative message to girls and to boys
about girls.
Instead of making these girls focus on more important values
like character, inner beauty etc, companies like MGA entertainment (owners Bratz dolls franchise) and Mattel (owners
of the Barbie doll franchise) teach these young girls about vanity, conformity,
materialism and sex appeal by creating dolls that tell them it's okay to be sexy at their age.
These young girls begin to imitate what they see believing
that this is what is expected of them. For instance, Barbie digital mirror allows girls to try on make up
using augmented reality.
To their young minds, it’s all play and fun. They have no
idea of the long term psychological effects of premature sexualization.
Through TV,
smartphones, computers and tablets, today’s kids are more exposed to the media
than any generation before them.
Most children's shows on Disney, NBC and CBS promote the sexualization of young children
through their net works. Most often you will find seeming innocent children’s
show riddled with subliminal (hidden) messages.
Info from the vigilant Christian
*There is a battle for the souls of your children and if you
are not sober enough, you won't notice. It’s no surprise that children as young
as this have started viewing porn or having sex.
At this age, these young ones
are so impressionable and it’s our responsibility as parents to inculcate into them true values including the spiritual values. Do not undermine the ‘ministry
of parenting’.
Foundation matters and as parents you have the sole responsibility of laying it.
You have said it all..as parents, being vigilant is suppose to be our watch word. They wont stop selling and advertising their product to catch young minds, why then would a parent minimize or turn a blind eye to the upbringing of his/her kid in a Godly way.
