All three go under the banner of natural gifts, but it seems if your natural gift is beauty you're not supposed to make the most of it.
pelican,
'I remember once watching an interview with a parent of a child beauty queen and the mother talking about what a self confidence building exercise it was for her child, and when the child was interviewed she came across as nothing but anxiety driven and parrotting the self-fulfilling nonsense of her parents. It was a sad sight.'
I can imagine that. Perhaps it was really a self confidence exercise for the mother.
I often have people asking if my stunningly beautiful and ridiculously cute daughter could make me some money. I cant see how I would fit those kind of activities into my life.
I really don't want to support the modelling and TV career of a 3 year old, and I try as much as possible to stop people gushing over her cuteness anyway. I don't want her to turn into a brat or get a big head or think her role in life is that of an ornament.
Even though these days parenting seems to be about helping your kids reach their fullest potential, if she were to show she was super intelligent or an amazing athlete, I would probably hold her back on that as well. I don't mind being a bad parent, neglecting the project that is my little genius for my own selfish goal of a happy well adjusted kid and a balanced life for her and the rest of the family.
