Is it just me or is it upsetting to see a three-year-old with pierced ears?

Although horrified, I made no comment when I saw that my granddaughter's ears had been pierced. She also wears nail varnish on her toes and fingers, most of which she chews off. I hate seeing little girls being made to look grown up before their time, and worry about what will happen when she gets a bit older.

What would you do?

I hate it, and it caused me a problem because my son had his daughter's ears done, and his much younger sister (8) then asked me if she could have hers done and I said no.....
Also on visiting Algeria with my husband, the family were all for piercing her ears as part of their cultural tradition ;thankfully hubby respected my feelings on the subject..
