In an article by Lucia Grosaru in Everyday Psychology, the Psychologist states “Of course, these little beauties do not enter the contests at their own request, but their mothers are the ones to fill in the applications on time, pay the participation fee, create or buy the outfit, establish the type of performance for the „talent” section … create and exercise the hairstyle and make-up, keep a strict rehearsal schedule, hire trainers if the mom herself cannot coach the whole thing, fill in the gas tank and travel hundreds of miles with their children just to spend a weekend on an emotional roller coaster that for most of the mother-daughter teams has its last stop on „low”.” (Quotation from an online magazine with no page numbers)

"Four-year-old Karley stands in her family's kitchen, dressed in a bikini. She screams in terror as her mom approaches with a spray can. There is no escape for Karley. The dreaded moment has arrived.
    The instant the cold mist hits her bare shoulders, Karley squirms, cries out, and stomps her feet. She shakes like she has been electrocuted.
    "Look at your white legs!" Karley's mom scolds, while covering her daughter head to toe with fake tanner.
    Welcome to the strange world of child beauty pageants." (1) In this article it is clear that this "sport" and what it entails, holds a great place in the way that these children act.
