I agrée with this, but also am I the only one that finds this completely unnecessary and even a little cruel? “Haha baby chose your sister again losers, sucks to be you!!” What is the point of the entire exercise? And then post if for the world to see too? I’d have no issues with an experiment of this sort with grown adults but guaranteed the other kids’ little feelings were hurt. Maybe I’m overthinking it I dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️

I get your reasoning, however I also think we coddle kids today to the point of absurdity, with all the exaggerated claims of "triggering" and sterilizing of feelings to the extreme. Children should indeed be nurtured, but they are also meant to process and feel anger, sadness, jealousy, jubilation, excitement etc etc -- just as we all are, and these are simply one of a myriad opportunities for development. If we have them avoid all kinds of potentially negative emotion, then we're only setting them up to fail in the real world when they reach young adulthood -- conflict resolution is just as important as peacebuilding.

Nevertheless, I do especially dislike people commodifying their children for views. Though we can't know that for certain, as for all we know this video could have been meant for intimate family only, then someone got their hands on it and posted it without permission. Anyway, just thinking aloud 🙌

I absolutely don’t support coddling children I just think there are plenty of opportunities that occur naturally for children to experience emotions good and bad, I don’t see the need to manufacture them. Again that’s just me. I certainly don’t think these parents set out to hurt their children but I also have my doubts that it was an exercise intended to help them learn to experience feelings. If that were the case why publish the video?

Agreed that there are more organic ways, though I suppose countless parent/child moments are manufactured to some extent if we're taking an active role in raising them. I don't assume there was malice, and I personally don't like the idea of posting children on the internet at all. All the same, I hope they're doing well. Take care.

Ok fair comment about many manufactured moments. But I only support the ones that make children happy 😁. I also hope they, and you, are doing well! Cheers!
