A not very close neighbor's 3 year old daughter, out of the blue and for no apparent reason, did some sort of hypersexualized dance toward my husband, 3 year old son and me while we were visiting them. The mother thought it was cute. It looked like she was doing a preschool pole dance. Ugh. I can't go back there ever. My DH is horrified. My son asked what she was doing. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Maybe you should take a step back and see it for what it was: a 3yo being a 3yo [ Reply | More

I've been around plenty of 3 yos who have been exposed to pole dancing. Maybe your's is. That's fine. [ Reply | More

I think it's odd that you would see a 3 yo's dance as hypersexualized. [ Reply | More

It was. I'm sure she picked it up from her older sister's britney videos. [ Reply | More

You sound like a nut yourself. I guess you'd facilitate that sort of play. Maybe your kid will do a similar dance during their OLSAT - good luck. [ Reply | More

hmm depending on what it was, I could go with you (something is wrong, and very sad with them) or with responders who said you read too much into it. How sexualized was it ? [ Reply | More

3 year old are *not* supposed to know how to assume the sultry eyes of a 30 year old dancer and outdance Britney and Madonna. Very very sad. Not reading anything into it that wasn't right on the wall. We have both lived in Manhattan our whole lives and cannot believe we saw something this unbelievable. A 3 year old doing a cute kiddie dance is fine, this was not. [ Reply | More

why do you think it was out of the blue and for no apparent reason? maybe she was coming on to your DH or your 3 yo. [ Reply | More

dances like this bother me. I know the 3 yr old doesn't know what they are doing BUT they are seeing this somewhere (TV, videos, older sibs) and that is what bothers me [ Reply | More
