We are talking about a five year old, not 10 or ever 15. What if when buying shoes with her mother she wants to buy a size smaller so she can look sexy?
Dressing up is fine, imagination play is great, my kids did it all the time, but teaching her how to be sexy, talking about being sexy at 5 years old, is on the fine line of sexual abuse. If this was her uncle and he wanted her to dress up in sexy pj's would you feel differently? Why not let her watch Sex and the City? Just because this stuff if in our life, doesn't mean it it right to expose a 5 year old to it. What is next, how to talk and walk sexy?
Kids should be playing outside and having fun, not worried about if they look sexy. I feel it is setting a poor example for a 5 year old. I as a mother would be upset if this happened to my daughter and would questioned someone's intentions on saying things like this to her, it sends red flag up to me as a mother.
