There's a photo of nine year old Harper Beckham on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/CDO-V07h5I4/?utm_source=ig_embed showing her out with her parents. According to Instagram users, she's growing up way too fast.

It seems perfectly acceptable to me, but then I see children at dance competitions dressed up like the adults, little girls wearing make-up, small boys in bow ties. Am I being to lenient?

My only concern would be that being on the internet, you don't know who is viewing your child, or what their agenda is.

Tiny little pink enamel ear rings are "chavvy"? Give over! Whoever it was who said they are hasn't a clue what "chavvy" is. Leave the kid alone, there's nothing wrong with her.

My eldest GD is the same age, and she wears the tiniest bit of lipgloss (as does her 5yr old sister) when they go out. The 9 yr old wears small heels, earrings (pierced) and carries a handbag, but she's still a child, still plays with dolls, still has the innocence about things as you'd expect.

I think Harper Beckham is a very pretty girl

I was expecting far worse, because I've never seen her, but she really does look lovely.
