Should 10-year-olds wear crop tops?

Anyone sexualizing a 10 year old has issues. They are the problem, not you or your daughter.

Anyone sexualizing your child has something wrong with them… sometimes it’s hot outside. Let child be comfortable. Really. A, T that is cropped is too much… but bathing suits are not, most young girls wear bikinis… and some where the tops with shorts or skirts… playin around the yard… but a loose shorter shirt is not ok? Seriously what is wrong with people… :roll_eyes:

No I personally would not allow my 10 year old to wear a crop top.

I think it depends on the child/parens. If your child is well behaved and isn’t trying to run the streets and act grown, who cares! If your child just likes it and isn’t doing it for all the wrong reasons, WHO CARES!

Its just a ‘fashion/mode statement’ nowadays. My 12 year old wears it just like all of her friends. Not to short.

To each their own, your her parent and if you see no problem then that’s your choice as HER PARENT.
Personally, I wouldn’t allow it for my own daughter. But again, that’s my take on it.

Depends on situation

Yes it’s OK, it’s the sick minded people who think that child looks sexy that’s the problem.

I personally wouldn’t allow it over my dead body. I make sure my kids are fully clothed at all times and dress modestly.

Yes if she wanted to .

There are very few things in life that kids are able to control. I believe they should be able to control what they wear and what they eat to an extent. This is where guidance is important in helping them pick what to wear and eat rather than forcing them to do it.

No!!! Why would any child need to wear reveling clothing? It’s not cute

The responses to this thread make me cringe! Let’s focus our efforts on teaching boys how to respect girls and women, instead of teaching girls to be ashamed of their bodies!!!

As a SA victim I will not let my daughter dress in anyway to attract predators. People say stop sexualizing children. But there will always be people who do. I’m careful not to attract them.

At home sure but probably not out in the public there alot of creeps out there.

You’re her mother, that’s who you are. It’s your job to guide her and protect her from predators. Modest is hottest.

There’s way too many weirdos out there that sexualize children. I wouldn’t want my adult daughter to wear one, let alone my 10 year old. I have a 10 year old and she’s not allowed to wear “shorty shorts” or revealing clothes. I’m her mother and I choose what she wears with her input until she’s an adult. You don’t have to dress like a nun but there’s also no reason to wear revealing clothes.

Wow the comments here, let me just say this : As an S.A victim, I know that it clear as day doesn’t matter what any one wears predators are everywhere and actually don’t care what you wear and the only thing I’m stopping by refusing my child being able to wear what they feel comfortable is their creativity and individuality.

Just know that what your young kids wear there is ALWAYS a sick pervert or working around the corner. Like I tell my 14-year-old daughter if you dress the part and play the part they’ll take you to make you do the part so try to be modest.

  1. You’re not a bad mom just because you allowed your child to wear a shirt that shows a little belly.
  2. Every parent is different when it comes to what skin is allowed to show.
  3. This is your daughter, not hers or anyone else’s. If you’re ok with a little belly showing and your daughter is comfortable in what she is wearing, then by all means you let your girl be herself.
  4. I have 2 older girls 15 & 13 they wear them with a little belly showing. My youngest is 8, she on the other hand can only do that at home. I won’t let her wear it to school, if we’re running errands maybe.
    On this note, don’t let someone else tell you what you can dress your child in. Everyone has many options on that, some people won’t be kind about it either. You look at that person who’s making remarks and your smile all big and bright and simply say (if you want to talk) she’s happy in her own body and she’s my child, not yours. And walk away.
    But I want you to know that whatever your child is wearing she needs to be aware that there are many predators out there that are not thinking nice things. You need to be aware of this as well not to say you’re not.

Where do you draw the line for apparel 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, an so on. How about make up, nail polish.

If you buy the clothes okay but as long as I’m buying hell nah

She is only a child let her wear whatever she is comfortable in

No, it really sucks that most stores sell nothing but crop tops. I hate it.

You decide what she wears as her mother.

As a SA victim. A pedophile will be a pedophile weather your child is wearing a shirt that shows their belly button or weather their wearing a trench coat.

You can’t stop pedophiles from sexualizing children. Ik from experience that it doesn’t matter what your child wears.

What you can do- protect your child at all costs.

I don’t see a shirt that doesn’t even show their belly button as all that bad tbh. It’d be the same as your child wearing an old shirt that’s a tad bit to small.

Absolutely. If people would stop sexualizing our kids, we wouldn’t even have as many people doubting their kids clothes. If she is comfortable and confident, go for it.

You’re her mom, that’s who you are. You have a right to have input into your child’s life and create boundaries that keep them safe and healthy. That said, your mother is NOT your daughter mom. Her judgements should not prevent you from parenting in a way that you deem is best for your daughter.

This isn’t really about crop-tops as much as it is about your relationship with your mom.

You are her mom …you can tell her whatever you want

Who are you to tell her anything ? She’s 10, she’s your daughter, you are responsible for teaching her. In an age where children are taught things in school that are sexually perverted, and children are being sexually abused, the best thing we can teach our daughters and granddaughters is modesty, self control, self worth and self defense.

If it’s down to her belly button your mum is being unreasonable

uh you’re her mother you have every right to tell her what to wear. if you feel it’s appropriate then so be it. but at that age some a bit more conservative could be helpful

My daughter does she is 10 not a big deal

Is the crop top sexually assaulting her? No? Tell grandma she’s raised her kids and keep her nose out of your parenting
Crop tops aren’t sexual
I find them more comfortable and have had to defend myself a few times from old ladies that can’t mind their own business
Tell your 10yo she’s allowed to be comfortable whatever that looks like
Get a bat and walk behind her, people will get the hint pretty fast

Why not ??? What’s it showing? What is it with people thinking kids stomachs shouldn’t be shown??? Like if you feel uncomfortable around a child in a crop top you shouldn’t be around kids full stop!

No. It’s not about how YOU feel. It’s about the disgusting society we live in. The difference between my upbringing (80’s) my oldest (early 2000s) & my youngest girl now 8 is insane!! I don’t allow bikinis in public or short shorts or crop tops. Dress little girls like little girls not grown women.

I’d love to know what is sexual about a child’s stomach…? Or anything about a child tbh… can we please, as a society, stop sexualising things that do not need to be sexualised (like shoulders in strappy tops etc) - if someone is causing an issue about this, they are the problem, not the young child wearing clothes made to be worn on a hot day!

I think little girls should dress age appropriate and not show any skin until they are in their teens. This is how I was raised and how I will raise my daughter. Same goes for makeup.

It’s your child if you are willing to let her wear it then screw what anyone else has to say

I get it we take our parents opinions into consideration when parenting. This can cloud our own judgment about whats best when it comes to parenting our child. But at the end of the day if 1. Your daughter is comfortable wearing it and 2. You are comfortable with her wearing it that is all that matters. Dont let your moms opinions cloud your judgment. I am sure the top was a perfectly acceptable top.

We don’t sexualize it. The old ass ugly men that stare at little girls do though.
Hello, how about being Mom! At 10 years, she’s not old enough to make those kinds of decisions.

Make her wear a tank top underneath…. And buy the crop top a size to big

Honestly, a creep is going to look at your child no matter what🤦🏻‍♀️ if they want to look, they will. Doesn’t matter what your child wears. As long as you’re comfortable and she’s comfortable I don’t see a problem. However my daughter could never.

I always wore crop tops as tween/teen. Often only in a sports bra when it was hot out. If she’s going to school obviously follow thier dress rules. Otherwise let her be herself as long as it’s legal. It doesn’t lead to the wrong things. Her mentality is what will lead her the right or wrong way.

I’ve wore crop tops since I was about 10, who cares. As long as you’re fine with it, and she’s fine with it. That’s all that matters. :woman_shrugging:t2:

It’s hard to say anything to another mom because of the backlash, but personally…remember that there are people male and female who prey on children and dressing your child in cropped tops are too much…as parents we have to stop letting social media tell us how to raise our kids…stop advertising these children to the pedophiles

I think kids should wear whatever they want. They’re kids. Men will sexualize a kid in a potato sack so ya, crop tops are great!

Everybody got a belly button it’s not a big deal lol.

Is this serious? I’m over people sexualising children. It’s just a cropped top. This happened with my sister when she started to wear thongs as they were comfier for me (I have no idea why) but she was also 10 and my dad didn’t approve. She wasn’t going around offering sex, she was wearing underwear. A cropped top is just that. If a midriff means you’re asking for sex, I’m very worried for everyone.

No she waaaay to young- do you really what your baby showing skin when there are waaay to many weirdos out there. Remember a child can disappear in a blink of an eye- why would you let your baby be enticing to them😕

It’s so hard I don’t want zoey to show off but I hate telling her to cover up. I know I worr tube tops and saggy pants and such so it’s hard :tired_face: just teach our girls respect and soft worth.

For me/my kiddos, it would be a no. But if you/your kiddos are comfortable with it, then do what works for you. My only concern would be pervs and pedos…I can think of many times, and two very specific incidents (as a child), where I was made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe by men because of what I was wearing. Just something to consider :confused:

Who are you to tell her anything…? :face_with_raised_eyebrow::thinking:
So, the title “mom” doesn’t mean shit to you, huh? Keep that same mindset when she’s up past curfew, not doing homework, etc. Your own words : “who am I tell her anything”
:roll_eyes::woman_facepalming:t4:

Absolute no from me.

Now days 95% of stores only sell crop Tops and to find regular t-shirt it’s in the boys clothing or its not really stylish… so ppl need to stop sexualizing everything thing! :roll_eyes:

I’m over here trying to figure out why You her Parent are here asking all these people who don’t know you, or your daughter, or your situation, for parenting advice? She’s YOUR child. It’s YOUR decision. Period. No one else has to like it or be ok with it!

To each their own but in my personal opinion I would not allow it.
