To win the crown, parents devote time, money and the happiness of said child. A child glitz pageant can cost $400.00 to $5,000.00. Some parents risk all they have just so their child can win the crown and title, slowly the cost of all the little details can add up in the end. Every pageant year, some parents spend up to ten thousand dollars and even face financial ruin. To perfect their routine, a few children are forced into meeting with a pageant coach every week for an allotted amount of time. All of these things take time away from the most important things, like letting the children play and just act like children. Most children get upset and have temper tantrums due to all the time and effort that needs to be devoted to child beauty pageants.
