High-heels for little children. Is it OK

Parenting groups have criticized top retailers for selling high-heeled shoes for girls as young as three, claiming they encourage the sexualisation of children.

Rita O'Reilly, of Parentline.com said: 'Parents need to say No. A child should be dressed as a child.

'Parents are dressing their children as adults if they are putting them in high heels. I wouldn't consider it appropriate. We all wore our mother's heels which is fine.

'Putting children in adult clothing can sexualise them and make them grow up before their time. Also if you put a young child in heels then they are not able to swing on swings and skip, and other things children naturally do.'
