Malaysia ― When it comes to technology, it can indeed be beneficial for a child’s development, but on the other hand, it can also bring about a bad influence.
On Oct 5, Tuesday, fashion entrepreneur Vivy Yusof posted on her Instagram Story that she does not mind allowing her young children to watch TV shows with vulgarity.
Although her style of parenthood may be questionable, it is worth exploring her point of view, and see if you agree with it, or find it utterly ridiculous.
Can exposing young children to the type of shows that drop the f-bombs often be okay?
Recently the founder of FashionValet and dUCk Group was watching Hell’s Kitchen with her elder children, Daniel and Mariam, and she shared that at first, she was apprehensive about this.
“We loveeee watching ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ with the kids, but there are so many vulgar words! So we’ve decided we’d rather our kids be exposed to them than trying to hide it from them,” she wrote.
It is no secret that celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is notorious for using foul language on people during high pressured moments.
“They know all the F words but we teach them to never use it. So far, so good,” Vivy added.
Assuming that both Daniel and Mariam know more than just the f-bomb, this leads to the question: is it okay to expose them to this sort of content when they are still so young?
One thing good about children is that they are curious to know more, and parents can be the first to educate them, reported Hype.my.
Vivy explained in her IG Story that Daniel especially, has asked some interesting questions she never thought of:
- “What made bad words bad?”
- “How do people make up bad words?”
- “Who decided they are offensive?“
If your child asked you this, how would you answer? The 34-year-old entrepreneur has certainly considered how best to educate her little ones as she prepares for the birth of her fourth child (a baby boy). /TISG
