10 year old trying to be "sexy"

[pizzalover90]

My daughter has just turned 10, and has recently gotten a phone, and is in year 5 as of now. She recently downloaded instagram, following us, and she has posted a few stories with "aesthetic" filters of her in crop tops on instagram, and she has not only been doing this on social media, but she is now straightening her hair on her own, almost always wearing crop tops when she's out, and putting natural makeup, which we've recently bought for her. She is somewhat tall for her age and has recently started puberty (body shape, small breast budding, some body odor which is why she recently started deodrant). I understand that she's going through changes, however i feel that this extreme emphasis on looks (obsessing over her hair, taking "aesthetic" selfies and posting them, wearing crop tops and makeup) is all for teenagers. I just want to know if this is normal for kids her age.

This isn't said with judgement at all, but the minimum age to be on Insta is 13 I think. This is one reason why.

The clue is in your post.
10 year olds shouldn't be on SM, never mind Instagram which has a lot of content that 10 year olds shouldn't be viewing (diets, make up, thirst traps...)

Oh I didn't know the instagram, let alone social media age limit was 13. My daughter is pretty mature for her age, and is excelling in her studies and makes good decisions. She told me that many of her friends have instagram. I guess I will monitor what she does on instagram, and I will tell her to private her account. If I take away her phone and social media, it will be unfair on her as I know as a fact that many of her friends have it, and she is now a pre teen, and has high maturity levels.

If you are concerned that she is acting too sexy (maturely ) then that is surely not the kind of maturity that you want to encourage?

It's common to be interested in fashion and makeup at age 10 but only you know if it's the wrong side of interested.

Get your ten year old off of social media - there is absolutely no reason she should have one at that age, let alone posting selfies on there!
She is so beyond vulnerable to predators.
Don't worry about what's "unfair" - what's unfair, is the amount of young children who are groomed and abused daily.

@pizzalover90
You can't complain about makeup you bought it for her, don't know why parents would buy there 10 uear old makeup, where did she get the crop tops, just because it's normal for girls her age or not its what you allow, and sm at ten that's a no go just because her friends have it does not mean you have to allow it.

Op parent your daughter the way you want and not the way the kids a round her r being brought up.

@pizzalover90 social media is your issue. She is 10 and should not be on Instagram. As the teacher of a year 5 class the children that are far too forward are the ones who’s parents have allowed them to have social media. The upper age for us is 13 and I’m sure her friends are not all on Instagram there are probably a handful in her class.
