This mother is more mature, she doesn’t cake her face, and she also doesn’t give her tans.

[@bl1247]

yes! and because the mother is mature and well adjusted her child is too. Alessondra isnt bratty or screaming like i see in other pageant girl clips.

I'm not a fan of kids pageants, but I can certainly appreciate this woman's attitude. She reminds me of a "dance mom"(an actual dance mom and not that crap on tv) or "Soccer mom" . Her kid likes to do something so she supports her but doesn't go nuts or overbearing with that support.

But judges didn't seem impressed. What do they expect exactly from these kids. They were not encouraging enough. Instead they were giving looks and being mean. I understand that they are judges but a little encouragement is never wasted. That mom was resourceful conservative and she did everything economically. So this paegent gives a wrong impression that only rich people can make it. I think paegents should not be just about beauty and looks. But instead they should give a strong message w And judges need to show that. For eg. Look at Priyanka Chopra . She is a pagent holder miss world but she is a woman of substance. Strong headed, straight forward and a matured woman who realised her responsibility towards society. These kind of paegents are giving wrong messages. This woman and her daughter were so genuine and true. And their approach towards life is so perfect

What kind of freak gives a child a dirty look while she’s on stage? It’s just gross the way most of the adults act on this show. This mother is one of the few good ones. The goal of these pageants for her is to raise her daughters confidence and do something she enjoys. She’s taught her it’s okay to mess up and never criticizes her. Some of these moms care more about crowns and trophies than they do their own kids happiness or confidence. I can only imagine what that would do to a child psychologically.

@@mojoyogi5414 Yeah, I know, I'm not really for child pageants with how they are, like I think if they didn't have most of the kids fake tanning & wearing pounds of makeup & instead just had them just wearing nice, cute clothes n doing their hair n stuff it would be a lot better, & if there was an age limit like you had to be like 9 or older to compete, but yeah some little girls really love the pageants like this girl in this video, she loves it and I'm really happy that her mom doesn't make her fake tan and put on all that damn makeup & doesn't force her to do the pageants, how they do it is really wholesome and you can tell they really have a lot of fun and its a great way for them to spend time together. & I don't see why its a problem that they're judging kids, like there's other activities where kids get judged on things lol. It's like a competition, & there's tons of different types of competitions for kids, & this one is a beauty & talent competition lol. & one thing I do love about these pageants is it doesn't just give all the kids those dumb participation trophies n crap, it gives the kids an opportunity to actually try to win something instead of just being like, "oh everyone's a winner!" like a lot of childrens sports and stuff do. It teaches an important lesson to give them an opportunity to win some and and to lose some cuz that's how life works.

This pageant mom and daughter are actually not toxic, the daughter enjoys performing and is great at dance and the mom saves money and keeps it natural for her daughter and they still win pageants!

[@destaniewalker8509]

I love how this mom is actually teaching her daughter to save money in a good way, She even thrifted a whole dress for her which costs literally no money at all. She actually supported her in this career of modeling also, She isn't spoiling her with expensive dresses as other moms do. This mother is pure AMAZING and she obviously deserves a lot more love for how she raises her children even though she is cheap she is still showing her child AND teaching them money at the same time.

Candice Cart she couldn’t have kids, so she had that process many women do. my aunt did, it’s amazing to be a mother. money doesn’t matter when you want to be a mother.

[@carlasmith1017]

Helena Maleki do you know what IVF means? Your either really young, or fairly old. If it’s the latter you must have been living under a rock, 😆. IVF stands for In Vitro Fertilization. In Vitro means that the females egg was fertilized outside of her body, like in a test tube or Petri dish. That’s why they use to call them test tube babies. If a women wants children but for many reasons can’t right then, she can have her eggs frozen so that when she is ready she still has viable eggs. The process requires the mother to take an injection everyday that helps her body mature more eggs. A women is born with a certain amount of eggs and when they are gone that’s it. When eggs are harvested from the mother or if her eggs are no good, a donors egg, and her husbands sperm (or a donors sperm) can be fertilized by a specialist. The doctor actually inserts the sperm into the eggs. They usually fertilize several eggs. At that point, it is just one single cell called a zygote. Then these zygotes are grown in a lab for a couple of days until the cells have split enough to be considered an embryo. The doctor then checks the embryos to make sure that they are viable and healthy. Then the doctor implants the embryo, usually more than one, into the women’s uterus. The rest of the embryos are frozen for use at a later time. So, if the mother wants more children she has that option to have more embryos implanted. If she decides not to have anymore children she can donate her fertilized eggs to other women or they can be destroyed. The latter is very controversial. So that’s what FROZEN means. I hope this answers any all questions phew 😅🤪.

I’m not a usually a fan of beauty pageants for kids, but I really respect how this mom insists on keeping it about the child and not the glamor, and ultimately wants her daughter to have fun doing it whether she wins or loses. That’s what pageants are supposed to be; FUN! Not giving a kid body dysmorphia at age 3.
