Is she growing up to fast?

I grew up in a very strict religious home. I wasn't allowed to wear make-up or nail polish (jezebel). I now have a soon to be 4 year old who loves it when I paint her nails. Its just for fun and I mostly use colors like blue, purple, yellow, orange, etc. I have had a few people say that I was encouraging her to grow up to fast by painting her nails with anything other than clear coat . I disagree. My daughter is a girly girl and it not like I have her walking around with make-up on. What do you think? Is it okay for a 3-4 year old to wear nail polish?

    Really? People are that judgmental? Haha. I don't think there is anything wrong with it! I used to work with young children and I saw this quite often. I would see most young girls with pastel colors, but the color seems irrelevant to me. As long as your child isn't biting her nails or putting her fingers in her mouth, I do not think it's a problem. Let her have fun!

    Of course she isnt !! She's just being - normal girly girl, you really shouldnt worry what other people think, because its not as if your forcing her to wear nail polish. I have a two year old cousin who wears nail polish all the time and she's still a normal two year old. I think some people are just old fashioned sometime, dont worry, she's your child and you decide whether you allow her to wear nail polish not anyone else:)

    There is nothing wrong with painting her nails, look at the little babies that the parent pierce their ears, that is not considered making them grow up to fast.

    I think if you want to do it, then by all means do it. :)

  • it's harmless the little girl is just having fun encourage it because she will only be little for so long. Let her have fun now her teen years is when you should kinda be strict about make up

    Yes I think it's perfectly fine, as long as your child enjoys it and YOU have no problem with it then its fine
