It's concerning when a dance coach has to be the one to figure out your child needs glasses.

[@kawaiicaity1413]

it’s sometimes difficult with children to figure out if they are blind or not when i was younger i hated glasses so i just pretended like i can see for years before i gave up and told someone

I think it was my 3rd or 4th grade teacher that finally told my parents I may need glasses. I was always getting bad grades in school and being scolded for it when, in actuality, I couldn't see the bloody chalkboard. I have astigmatism, of which I believe I was born with. What's funny is, back in the day, I could see close up but not far, without glasses...today, I can see far but not close up, without my glasses. Hahaha...what a joy it is getting older!😂

[@sevan4059]

@@momvaz6613 that's so odd I've been able to take my children before school age to get their eyes checked at a children's family eye doctor. I think it's harder for the eye doctor bcuz I'm sure a lot of children aren't sure how to relay results like when they're switching between lenses to see which is better.

[@mapleto4st637]

[@MsJubjubbird]

a lot of kids from this sort of demographic and geographic region are homeschooled. Plus it's also common in "performance" families who want more time for kids to practice and have extra coaching. These kids probably don't have to look a at a whiteboard from the back of the room like most kids so something like shortsightedness wouldn't be picked up

[@sevan4059]

There's no excuses. My child was being homeschooled but I knew something was wrong. She couldn't find things that were right infront of her. Or she could see stuff that I asked her to look at. If you don't spend time with your child then of course you wouldn't notice they need vision help. Too many parents are too focused on themselves and the path they're trying to force their kids on or whatever and don't actually spend time focusing on spending quality time with their children. Bottom line. The parents should've known their child had issues.

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@sevan4059 It sounds though like your child had far-sightedness. The thing is it sounds like the kids that can't see the judges have long-sightedness. Homeschooling involves reading/looking at things right in front of you, as does finding nearby objects or engaging or playing with someone in close proximity. In school kids have to read things at a distance or they do sorts classes that involves interacting with someone at a distance or playing ball sports form far away. It is very common for short-sightedness to be picked up when kids enter grade school or when they start playing sports.

Kids aren't going to say something if they don't realize they can't see & that young, there's a good chance they don't realize they aren't seeing. I'm pretty sure not all pediatricians do eye exams, especially bc most kids also have a separate eye exam. I wouldn't know, bc I don't have kids & don't remember. But I remember noticing my eyes change & after a couple months my mom took me in bc I was starting to have trouble seeing the board. At 3-5 years old kids just aren't using their eyes in ways they would notice & their parents aren't going to notice something like squinting at the TV bc they use iPads now.

Y’all judging that three year old but she was legit locked in a room with a stranger (the camera man) while her mum held the door shut.

It was wrong and traumatizing and abusive and the worst part is, it's not against the law in reality TV :( Even if there wasn't cameras, she's three years old and obviously doesn't want to be there. Take the child home, let her be a child and have a nap! There is no structured set of healthy stages of growth and development to be found in this environment.

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

Sweet thing was crying her eyes out and the mom didn't freaking nothing to comfort her. Screw that witch of a woman!

[@actuallyitske-ris]

ok I did a bit of looking for context, I originally thought she was just having a toddler tantrum and was put in the room to calm down. So basically, the mum was trying to get her daughter to focus and was unsuccessful, so she brought her outside the dance studio asking "Why are you like this?" (Quick summary, the mum was being rather harsh and gave her daughter a little "time-out" and placed her in that room, shut the door, and then the 3 year old started screaming. ) Even though her mum said it's a short time-out, I think the daughter began to freak out being stuck in a room with an adult she didn't know (poor cameraman must've felt awkward though) and that her mum wouldn't come back for her. You can see how she hugs her mum tight afterwards that she seemed scared. Correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody's really in the right here. Eyo, thanks for taking the time to read this essay.

Kids will go to extrees to get their own way. As much as I hate pageants, she was being punished for not participating in a class doing an activity appropriate for her age that her mother had paid for. If this was a dance class or a music class it would be the same.

My best friend went into the pageant world and came out emotionally scarred. They need to stop. Because there are two outcomes to this, a kid gets super bratty and spoiled and can’t survive in the real world, or they are depressed. It’s horrible, just horrible.

oh most three year olds act like that when they don't get their own way. They are quite the little performers. There was a kid in the department store that was even more melodramatic last week because she wanted to go home instead of waiting for her sister to try on school shoes. By the sounds of the mother's interview it was the first time she heard the word "no" so she was probably in a bit of shock and was going to do whatever it took to have her mother reconsider this new discipline thing

I don’t think she has a problem with glasses per say as you can see some of the kids with glasses but I think she’s probably thinking more for the pageant where glasses aren’t going to be an option especially at pageant only judging facial beauty because then they can’t see the kids eyes I mean the coach herself had glasses on

My mom instincts wanted to swoop in and help that poor 3 year old who was locked in that room. I just wanted give her a hug and help her work through that emotion. Little kids don’t know what to do with big feelings.

[@MsJubjubbird]

three year olds have pretty basic feelings- I don't wanna and the whole world is going to know it until i get my own way. They just escalate their reaction to try and get what they want, especially if the discipline thing, which isn't meant to be fun, is new to them. Then why not try their luck to see how serious this new regime is? They're usually fine and it's just a performance. I just think such a structured environment is not great for a three year old. Maybe half an hour of fun interactive lessons and then there needs to be time to play and be creative. The actual pageants are the worst for kids this age because they wake up early, have to sit still for an hour and then perform all day- often into their naptime.
