My girl is 8 and I have no problem with her wearing them don’t see the big deal about it to be honest
Your mom is (most likely) from the time when women were supposed to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. This is 2022. Children need to stop being sexualized for what they’re wearing and how they look. I have an 8 year old who HATES pants. She doesn’t care who’s at our house, she just doesn’t wanna wear pants. What if she was at the beach in a two piece baiting suit? No difference.

I wore the half tube tops at that age lol showed more than that:rofl:
If she has the right bottoms to go with the crop top there shouldn’t be a problem. The problem should be does it look any good… some people do not have a body type that can pull off a crop top, and some do…. It’s about the way it looks on each person.
My 10 year daughter wears them all the time. When she goes to see her dad he always tells her she shouldn’t be wearing it. But if she’s confident to wear one let her 
Your mom needs to stop sexualizing a 10 year olds clothing.

My opinion is that it depends on how it fits. My niece is pretty small so crop tops fit just above her pant line. Im pretty tall so they fit just under my chest area.
I don’t believe they should 15-16 when you she can buy her own clothes whatever.
Growing up I was always raised to leave something to the imagination as I was the 13-15 year old in crop tops sneaking them out from my parents and they were very lenient about my clothing. . Looking back they were so right. You definitely get looked at and judged based on how you dress unfortunately. It’s still a struggle with my reputation many many years later. I had a bad wrap for a while based on my choices of clothing and the ones my parents would occasionally let me wear. So I would say stick with the respect for yourself and your children and let them be kids crop tops are way to old for a 10 year old. Should we be sexualizing no does it happen and do those kids get judged hell yes.

Be the parent. Until your child is 18 years old YOU have final say on what they wear, what they do etc. So if you don’t want her wearing them. Don’t buy them.

No. I did not even finish reading your post just a very question at the top… nobody should be wearing crop tops until you’re like 15 16 years old! I mean do you want some man to look at your child like a sex symbol when they’re î in a crop top?!?
At home idc what my kid wears. In public, no. But I won’t judge someone who does let their kid. We all parent differently.

My sister got on my case about my daughter wearing shorts that she deemed too short when she was 12. She is now 16 and I don’t always like what she chooses to wear. She is very thin for her height so it is hard to find clothes that fit her that aren’t too short.

The problem is everyone thinking it’s something new when they’re not. They’ve been around since at least the 60’s and worn by all ages. It’s not new it’s just society’s stigma that oh no this is bad. Most kids I’ve seen wear a cami tank under it or high waisted pants so you see what an inch of mid section. You need to tell your mom thank you but she is my child and if she is comfortable with her own body that she will wear it.

You didn’t have a problem with it until your mom said something, so nope. There is nothing wrong with it and I know it’s getting really hot over here. I don’t see how it’s any “worse” than a bathing suit and the last time I checked, a belly button isn’t scandalous lol clothes are not a deciding factor for a creep, it’s really not. She’s ten and it’s hot outside and it’s just the style right now. For a few people that say it’s clothing, I suggest you look up the exhibit “What were you wearing?” I’ll protect my daughters from predators, but I won’t let them think that what they wear makes a difference.

Pesos go after children. They often prefer the innocent in both look and age. A bit of tummy isn’t going to make the difference. Teach the children to be strong and to have a voice. Teach them that regardless of what you wear, unwanted touching is wrong. Give them ownership of their bodies. Teach our girls to be strong and advocate for them.

So people should not wear crop tops as young kids because boys and creepy men might see them? 1st of all the problem isn’t the clothes or the child. The problem is the creep looking at them and need the help. They need to be held accountable. I’m not going to let anyone control how me or my kids live due to others. Difference in dressing slutty and a child’s crop top. Is a belly button…not boobs. Smh
I’m gonna say no. I don’t think little girls should be dressed like adults.

If society wasn’t so washed up in sexuality like it is, then let her wear it. But considering the society we live in sexualizes EVERYTHING and pedophiles and child trafficking is a HUGE issue right now, I definitely wouldn’t let my kid wear that crap. Honestly, I wouldn’t even wear that sh myself but to each their own. Considering it’s a CHILD you’re talking about though… no.way. If it’s that important for her to wear it though, I’d say around the house is fine.
This is of course my opinion.

My body my choice, same for the kids. “Modesty” values sit right in line with rape culture. I work specifically with sex offenders and it DOESN’T matter. The thoughts of “scantily clad” come from their brains and NOT from a child’s clothing choice.
Nope not in my house because once they start wearing that by the time they turn 14 they wear them without a bra like I have seen a lot of them.

I refuse to let my daughter wear them, she’s 9 years old. She’s a child, not a woman. Not a young adult. Okay, would you let her go out in public in see through clothes? Short shorts, where her little checks hang out? Nooooo. I wouldn’t. It’s not sexualizing, it’s protecting. & this is why little girls walk around looking like hoochies on a corner. Because they are allowed to behave like this. It’s more about teaching self respect at a young age. Yes, allow people to wear what they want at a mature age, but “LITTLE GIRLS” should remain as innocent as they possibly can.

Crop top over a tank top is my rule for my 10 year old. She’s going through the preteen stage rn.
She asked me if she could wear just her support bra and pajama shorts to bed (when the weather was warm) and i told her “thats fine. Whatever makes you comfortable. Just when its morning time put a shirt on before you come out of your room.” At this point; they are getting comfortable with there bodies…Shes going to be 11 soon…
I think they have too many skimpy clothes out for young girls. I just tell my daughter on some things “that’s just for her age rn. Sorry 
”

Are you her parent? That’s who you are, then? YOU parent YOUR child with rules and norms that fit your household. Stay consistent and loving. Is it against school policy? Then not at school. Children thrive when they are allowed to make decisions and be apart of their environment. As parents we help groom and shape them along the way.

My oldest daughter is 10, she is allowed to wear loose crop hoodies with high-waisted pants. It’s literally the style these days. She’s comfortable in it. I use the same rule My mom did when I was a teen… No Boobs, No Butts, No Bellies.
Example: we was skating at the rink the other day a girl (maybe 13) had on a cropped sweater and she started to fall and her arms moving trying to catch the air to not fall…her shirt comes up and she was showing her bra…
So NO kids needs to wear clothes that dont show their stuff!!
Personally, I think it’s too young. I try not to be judgmental of others who do it, but I know how many pedophiles are out there and I know how predators minds work, so I don’t do anything to put my child in unnecessary dangers. Even if it seems innocent to you or me, it isn’t to others. Again, not trying to be judge-y, but that’s how my brain works.

No to young by the time she’s 14 she’ll wear what is not good and you will be in trouble.
They aren’t very modest, and I wouldn’t/didn’t. There are really weird people out there. It’s good to teach your daughters to be strong and assertive, but why not try to protect them while you can?
My little lady is 4. She wears uniforms to school and hates them. She likes cropped tops and she wears them, outside of school of course. I let her wear what she likes, what makes her feel beautiful. Whether it’s having her hair a certain way, lip glosses or eyeshadow out of an eyeshadow palette from Claire’s for little girls, Sometimes, it’s a mismatched outfit, pajama pants and a tee, or even her brothers jeans and a hoodie… She will come and look in a full length mirror and if SHE looks in the mirror and says “Mama! I wook beautiful.” This mama is happy.
I don’t allow sick individuals to dictate what my child likes and wears. I’d rather be vigilant, watch my children, teach my girl to respect herself, know it’s ok for her to feel beautiful and teach my boy to respect himself and girls regardless of what the girl chooses to wear.
If you have your children out of the house, watch them. Hold their hands in stores. Pay attention to your surroundings.

The biggest issue I have with all this is the last statement. “Who am I to tell her anything.” You’re her parent and the parents role is to protect them until they’re old enough to protect themselves. What you allow and what you don’t allow is completely up to you, but at the end of the day you are the parent.

So I personally do not my daughter will be almost 12:00. She has never asked to also but I know that I would not however I do see a lot of kids her age in them. I don’t judge other parents I just make choices I feel like best for my family. I think sometimes especially the way girls age nowadays, dressing older gives the appearance of being older which attracts the attention of older guys. Definitely a personal choice though and something that you guys can figure out on your own. Maybe not to school?

I am okay with it, my husband is okay with it. My daughter wears them where they only really show anything when you raise your arms.
Mt daughter loves fashion and she wears all different styles. I refuse to allow my daughter to be told she can’t wear something because she will be sexualized by the opposite sex. She is also taught time and place when it comes to what she is wearing.
Maybe just have her wear a cami underneath it. If that’s an issue bc she WANTS her belly to show then I’d say may be slight issue. 
As a mother, I’m not going to tell you how to parent. If I had a daughter, the answer would be definitely not. However, I will tell you that men do look at that regardless of their age and as much as we want to keep our kids as kids, they still have that mentality of wanting to be treated as an adult, but not ready to be one. Just a little eye opener - my dad and stepmom wouldn’t let me wear those ruffled short skirts that everyone was wearing and one day I snuck and bought one. I wore it to school one day (snuck it in and changed at school) and got my crushes attention (18 at the time). He handed me his number and called one of my friends later asking if I was easy because my skirt was revealing and he liked what he seen. I felt extremely violated and hurt that he only wanted that. I never wore it again. I was a virgin at that time (16). Like I said, I’m not going to tell you how to parent, but kids today are more hyped about having sex and I do believe that how we dress says a lot.
