(Herald Sun), “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

I don't know my teenagers were respectful but also knew they could question any decision. Once they hit their later teens they knew theur parents were still there for them but not breathing down their necks

Hey Pat, sorry it took so long to get back to you! Thank you for the comment :)

I agree with you, I think we're responsible for our actions. With children that small though, I think they're taken advantage of by their parents, and especially their mothers. It sounds accustatory, I know, but a five year old can't possibly look at a bra before being exposed to advertising and socialising and want to wear something like that. God, children like taking their clothes off!

You might have heard about the recently published results of children's sugar and lolly consumption affecting their disposition in adult years. Apparently, the more Mars Bars amd boiled lollies we eat, the more likely we are to be criminals because of the level of instant gratification and reward we crave. I think this is the parent's fault. Sure, the child can kick and scream, but the parents are the ones that give their kids coke (a la Ms Spears) and handfuls of crap when they should be making snowmen out of mashed potato.

They play at different roles fron princess
