It's hard to find the line that is too over the top IMO. My daughter hasn't gotten close to the point of this video, but I've seen some along these lines and while it bothers me, where's the line? In terms of working to get better -someone mentioned the amount of work this would take - again, where's the line? Is it one night a week? 4 nights? When your child loves what she's doing and wants to practice and get better....how much is too much?

I'm curious how many that have commented have children around this age? I'm not criticizing everyone's opinion by any means, and I agree with many. But as a parent in this day and age, these are some of the things that we're challenged with and it's not an easy gig.

I have an eight-year-old daughter. There's no way on God's green earth I'd allow her to be sexualized in this way or any other.
