My step daughter loves crop tops, and I am a very in between woman. I want her to be confident, but also understand what it means to wear appropriate clothes to the appropriate places. So she wears them to the pool, the park, the beach, and when it’s really HOT outside. Church, school, weddings, ect… the answer is no. That’s just how we are. So, honestly I wouldn’t listen to your Mom’s criticism. You make the choices on what you deem appropriate for your children. Follow what you believe and tell others to stay blessed. You got this.

My daughter wore them at 10 and 11, now she’s 12 and too insecure to wear them.
Honestly I’d rather her still be wearing them because at least I knew she was comfortable with her body. Now it just makes me sad that she is too insecure to not care what other people think.

This aught to tell you what’s wrong with our country. A 10 year old should be allowed to wear what she wants without creepy ass old people’s opinion. If she is comfortable then let her…
Why is your mother viewing her in that manor? It’s a shirt, and she’s making it weird because it shows a tiny bit of her stomach….

She’s 10. I personally find it inappropriate, but you r the mom and you can choose to let her wear what she wants, at the end of the day she is your responsibility not your mother’s. Your mom is just trying to be modest and there’s nothing wrong with that…but I believe anyone can be confident about themselves with full clothing on. Now if u choose to allow her to wear it do it to avoid upsetting her cuz it’s just easier for u then that’s up to u I guess.

I have 2 boys, a step son and a step daughter. We got them all new clothes a few weeks ago. I opted for the “longer” crop tops for her because although it is fashion right now it’s inappropriate also for her age (11). Let’s just say thank God the fashion is extra high waisted ugly Granny pants and not the low rise hip huggers like when I was young 
There are clothes for adults and clothes for children for a reason.

If that baby is comfortable let her. She ain’t showing boob, butt, or private she is fine. Some people act like showing kid’s belly is atrocities. Back in the day women could not show their ankles. 
People and children at the beach show far more. If her private areas are covered she is covered. Those who claim things that don’t show nips or genitals are “adult clothes” are sexualizing children. Kids don’t see it how we do. Too many people over sexualize everything from kid’s clothes to breastfeeding. Let the kid be comfortable, enjoy her confidence, and grow. She will usually be over that phase with time.
It’s just a top? And she’s obviously finding her own style and what she does/doesn’t like to wear. As long as nothing that should be in your underwear is on show then I don’t see the problem.

As long as she’s not wearing it to school and breaking the dress code, and you as her parent don’t see anything wrong with her wearing it, then by all means, let her be comfortable. She shouldn’t be ashamed of her body and if wearing a cute little crop top makes her feel good about herself, that’s great. Appropriate body positivity is something all kids should learn.

I’d say there are bigger fights than a barely cropped shirt. Also, kids sure don’t have a lot of say about their lives at 10, but they can decide what they like and don’t like, what they’re comfortable in.

Here’s a quick story… since everyone is so saddened that some of the people are sexualizing children by not finding it appropriate.
Guy has a 13 year old daughter, known to be a pedophile. Molested couple family members as kids. Daughter has a sleep over with girls her age. Dad walks in and specifically notices the one in a sports bra and shorts. Proceeds to reach out to this CHILD anonymously and gives a hint. Mentioned is the bra she was wearing.
This same man tried to meet up with this girl! But authorities were there to greet him. 3 years in prison for attempting to sleep with a minor under the age if 13.
This one girl out of about 5 others was picked due to her outfit… but a parent who’s uncomfortable with this type of outfit are the issue? They’re the ones sexualizing their kid for feeling unsafe for their child.

I personally do not think a 10 year old should wear a crop top. However, your daughter is not my child. It’s up to you to raise your child how you see fit. I’m sure there are lots of my parenting techniques that other people don’t agree with. It’s your decision and you can nicely tell your mom it’s your decision. And while many will disagree with me, I think your mom has every right to tell you she thinks it’s inappropriate. She is your mother and your child’s grandmother. Doesn’t mean you have to do what she thinks is best.

It’s soon hard picking and choosing clothes for kids with what they have available in stores 
I wore crop tops in the 1960s. As long as they’re cute & not overtly sexy, should be fine. White with crochet edges vs. one shoulder black lace, for example. I must say though when my daughter was young I was distressed to see booty shorts, bra tops and cut out tight clothes being sold for girls in elementary school. Stop the sexualization of young girls (and boys) and let them be kids. Childhood is so short.

You’re her mother. That’s who you are to tell her where the boundaries are. I personally wouldn’t allow my 10 yr old child to wear a crop top BUT that’s not to say you 're wrong. That’s your choice and something to consider as she starts wanting to make other fashion decisions. But at the end of the day- you do get the final say even with your child. The idea of “who am I to say anything?” is kinda concerning though. It gives the impression that you don’t see yourself as the higher person in the hierarchy of your family
It’s a no from me but she’s not my child so you do what you thinks best for your family.
No because when she is older it will be worse things. Jmo

On your child, you make the call on what you think is appropriate. As another parent I’m not gonna tell someone how to raise their child but yeah I wouldn’t let my daughter wear one that young
Nope…wouldnt let my kid wear that
I think it depends on how “Cropped” the top is. I mean if it’s like belly button up i don’t see a problem now if it’s any shorter than i wouldn’t allow it. Not because of others opinions or sexualizing but because i want her to be a kid and i think those kinds of clothes are for adults and beach day bathing suits Just like short shorts are for adults.

I have always let my kids dress how ever they feel comfortable. One is 23 now, 18 and 15 all girls and they all dress very modest. They cover themselves up, but are also comfortable wearing swim suits or crop tops and short shorts. My son is 12 and dresses fine too. I’ve never made my kids cover up because men are around. I wouldn’t have men around who I had to tell my kids to cover up.

Seen worse on some parents so
My 7 and 9 year olds do. She is your daughter so who cares what other people think!
Perves are gonna perv no matter what anyone is wearing. As mothers we do our best to protect our children, but what they wear doesn’t play as huge of a role as we think. We have been conditioned to believe that women should dress a certain way or boys will blah blah blah. But the truth is it doesn’t matter, it’s never mattered and that decent boys and men don’t turn evel by seeing a girl’s belly button or shoulder or thigh. Evil people are already evil and seeing it or not seeing it isn’t going to change anything for them. I don’t know how to solve that bigger problem outside of breaking the cycle by locking up sexual abusers until they die because it’s not something they can control or stop. Let your child be confident and comfortable with what they wear but no matter what our kids wear we should have open discussions about safety and our bodies and boundaries. That’s what’s important.

I personally don’t let my daughter wear crop tops and she’s 15. She can have crop top swim wear but not for clothing. If she wears a crop top it’s as a layer over a cami. I don’t care what other people do with their kids. But unfortunately I’ve come to know that there are people who will sexualize a child at any age no matter what they have on. I just try to minimize it where I can. It’s not about appropriate for me, I believe a female should be able to wear anything at any age or size and not be scrutinized or sexualized but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in. We live in a world of child pornographers and child sex traffickers. I told my daughter that a good measure of when she wear more revealing clothes is when she is ready to defend herself verbally and physically if necessary against any verbal or physical assault. And I have discussed that with her since she was in 5th grade.
I didn’t let my daughters wear them at that age and my daughters don’t let their kids wear them at that age

I find it so hard to find clothing for my 3 Yr old because most of it looks like it for them to go clubbing , like what 3 year old needs batty rider shorts 
none yet they sell them , what you allow your child to wear is between the two of you child, my mums always moaning about how my brothers kids dress while I’m.just jealous I don’t have the outfit lol , I would just think what did I wanna wear that that age and when you explain to your child that what they wear can attract the wrong attention remember that it’s her body and who she allows to touch it is her choice not her outfits so other people shouldn’t make unwanted comments or advances based on it , because telling our girls not to wear shirt skirts because men will think they can do things to them will just lower her confidence and give the power away
Cover up. To many sicko out there. This coming from string bikini mom. 10 is young and there is plenty of time to dress trashy.

I don’t find it appropriate, but I also remind myself that what’s visible in a bathing suit sets the bar. My daughter wears Tankinis usually and the belly button would show a little.
I wear crop tops and my girls wear crop tops. Although, I don’t let them wear them outside unless they’re with us because I don’t trust other people. But, they’re allowed to out with us and at home.
Now a days parents dont care they dont teach them modesty

As long as it’s about belly button, I don’t see any issue really because she’s confident and that’s hard to naturally have so I’m glad she has it now so when she starts growing more soon, she likes herself. So that’s really nice. Also it’s not even revealing like that, it’s a shorter shirt that’s flowy lol I wasn’t allowed to wear any shirt without an undershirt and I was still picked out and touched as a child so like someone else said, pervs don’t care about clothes. I see no issue with a kid wanting to be happy in what they wear that’s not even inappropriate
