In fact, the grooming session before any contest teaches the contestants not only to look but also feel beautiful from inside. Grooming period include lessons on public speaking, conversing and correct etiquettes.

• One of the most important aspects of beauty contests is that your daughter, as a contestant must learn to keep her cool and answer questions intelligently and confidently. How well she answers is a reflection of how beautiful her mind is, which is as important as how beautiful she looks. She will also have to learn to be graceful in defeat: this too is the mark of a beautiful heart. It is these inner qualities that will help her survive later. Beauty pageants are the best way to learn how important these qualities are in life.

• Every beauty pageant wants that the most beautiful girls take part in the competition. To increase the competition, some organizers take ridiculous steps like making them don exorbitantly priced dresses or sport bizarre makeup. While this is sometimes done for promotion; you shouldn't push your child into these competitions unless she is herself willing.

• The fashion world is as cruel as it's glamorous. The fierce competition to survive and emerge as the best often force young inexperienced girls to take extreme steps. As a concerned parent, you should let your daughter have all the fun they want to without compromising on their moral stands. You should teach her to be firmly grounded through success and defeat alike. Keeping a clear conscience all the time is the real key to success.

You should also think about what your daughter will wear at the pageant so that she looks strikingly different from the others. The contest season should be the base for choosing the costumes. For example, a classic summer dress would be best, skirts will also look good. If the contest is in winter, just donning a stole may not look as good as an embellished jacket or a classy gown in warm fabric. It's also important for your daughter to put her best foot forward. Instead of simple shoes, a daring step would be to wear classic girl cowboy boots. If you can match the shoes with the right dress, this would surely be the winning costume.
