Kids at the Spa

Here is a recent

spa story

about girls going to beauty spas younger and younger. The article shows a four year old girl having a hair treatment!

I find this irritating. Once again this society tries to make our kids grow up faster than humanly possible so they can become good CONSUMERS. I agree that anything in moderation is fine and as girls get older, it's a fun treat. Just as long as going to the spa is not the norm. I too am concerned that the emphasis on grooming and appearance could encourage girls to think that their value depends on what they look like on the outside instead of what they're made of on the inside.

Besides that, if anyone is going to get a spa treatment - it's ME. The MOM. Do you agree or am I just going off the deep end?
