Fame, Fortune, and Miley Cyrus - What a responsibility for parents?

I am a father of four boys ... young men. We play football and sport. We are in the woods on a mountain bike and ski explosion. We are not experts on the show Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus, the actress who plays her. But I still could not avoid having regard to its increasing popularity as a young teen Disney star. Her father seemed pretty cool and modest Dancing with the Stars, and it seemed that it would be a good role model for young girls, looked at her hearing on the showMusic, and also laid the birthday of Hannah Montana-theme. Their attempt to transform the current child star to adult actor seems dated) are at 16, and a sadly familiar script (at any age, much less time than he changes clothes to reveal posing in sexual positions and in prestigious journals as Vanity Fair and Elle .. She made headlines most recently, at the Teen Choice Awards (TCA), where they called in a short dress revealing that Kat MSN Giantis a tribute to Pretty appearedWoman, "and made with a metal rod.

When you read the headlines on this last performance, my first thought was: "Where is the father and why has enabled her to fame and fortune to compromise?" Unfortunately, I learned that he was right beside him. As noted in this Giantis try / MTV was Victoria Secret is not for adolescent girls and leave the house in a dress like Miley TCA was unusual. But his parents, they usually back up in Marchand make change. Instead, accompanied by Miley's father (singer and entertainer Billy Ray Cyrus), and the mother for the awards, clothing and everything. In response to its suggestive power, Billy Ray Cyrus said they were a show, and wants his children the freedom of "art and who want to do it in their own voice."

Fame and celebrity get a lot of attention these days, but the denominator of a life well lived? I'm not against the general framework forsecure identity management, strong character, loyal and relationships? Miley the sex drive of a natural next step in the glory or the fame and success is endangering the health education by parents willing to serve as a low standard of what they allow their children to wear and how to help them? We need to get to the point where it's so important to produce and sell and be popular, that we return to the point of sale-sex-simple interest of our daughter, modesty, and most likely the relationshipThe pain that come with the promotion of sensitivity before and outside of the faithfulness of protection, and the intimacy of marriage?

Miley is 16. It 's almost an adult and a businesswoman in her own right. It took songs, a successful television show, and started a new fashion line. But 16 years is old enough to understand the consequences of her dress and actions both to himself, thousands of young girls that their view as an example, and the boys for their appearance as an attraction, nota person?

In his recent article for the New York Daily News "Why Miley Cyrus is stripping down as they grow," Wendy Shalit, author of "A Return to Modesty and Girls Gone Mild", addresses Miley reporting in the August issue of Elle Magazine . The article explains why Miley is no longer a child. The images show her wearing skimpy clothes and pose in sexually suggestive positions. Shalit quotes Elle editor Robbie Myers, Miley has found that the desire to represent in this wayshows a more mature personality portrait. It 'enables them as "take the wheel" and is an adult. Shalit challenges this misconception of empowerment like Miley has "taken the wheel." Even with their career success should embrace sexuality represent grow better, or as Shalit notes, for the standard rebellious Hollywood should embrace the personality and the guard and respect their bodies and their self-esteem Miley?

Shalit is right. As a performer himself, MileyFather needs to know the time in the spotlight is fleeting, but of character ... can shine forever. What is a better investment? Had the greatest impact to find their own voice, or he teach them to protect their reputation and not the victim of a solid character for fame and fortune? Look in the mirror, but we parents so that our children their voice "right" to dress poorly and act in such a way Tue to develop their character? It can sneak up on you,no?

The parents are instilling in our children the importance of strong moral character? We are teaching them the value of self-esteem, honesty, hard work and self-control? We are teaching them what they look like models, artists and sports heroes? If we take this opportunity to ensure trade dress our daughters and the internal and external security of decency? If we knowingly and voluntarily young men and to treat our girls educationWomen, wife of someone, respectful? Effort is needed to ensure the parent company to a broader framework of character building and give our children a beginning of a life well lived.
