Do you agree in parading your children around in pageants at a very young age? Why or why not?

No, I don't agree, because I feel like doing these things teaches them that beauty is everything and to not be "pretty" by everyone else's standards makes you less than good.

I don't believe so. It makes kids shallow.

With reservations (that both truly enjoy it), I would have no objections. Since a child develops values based more on the values of society as a whole, with the guidance of the parents, I see no harm. If the child was being raised in a vacuum with no input from TV or public school, or any other media, it might not be the best outlet, but that is not the case. A lot of people believe the parents are the only ones who derive any benefit from this activity, but I am not one of them. Some children are "natural" performers and really benefit from this kind of attention.

No. I believe we need to teach our children to present themselves well, but pageants often cause conceitedness.
