So, Campos reasons and justification for sharing his young family on line. Sharing their morning every school day, even if they want to or not. If you speak to children who’ve had a terrible childhood, who’ve been abused, etc, they will often say they didn’t realise it was wrong and thought everyone’s life was like theirs, until they were much older. The kids may go along with it, but THEY CAN NOT CONSENT.
it’s very clear, by the way he words this, it’s all HIS idea, although like many have said, she says yes too, so is just as bad.
I saw part of their live recently, and the comments were wild, and highly inappropriate. So when he says he’s “teaching his children that people judge you”, he’s also opening their eyes to language that they should t be reading. They have regular viewers who they encourage the children to interact with on a daily basis. These people are strangers and could be anyone! It’s easy to find out what school they go to and where they go to dance, gymnastics etc, so encouraging your children to speak to strangers who know all this, is dangerous, and naive.
Here’s what he said;
“They’re the most important thing in my life, right, so I wanna do right by them. The way I think about social media is that I dont think it’s going anywhere.
I think social media is going to be a thing, when our kids are growing up, right? And I think the thing about us doing what we do, every morning, with you guys, on a live, but also on our social media journey generally, is that I hope we’re demonstrating to the kids how you can do social media really positively, right. Like, you guys are amazing, right, we get so much positivity from you, sometimes you get people that are negative in the comments, and whatever, and that’s fine by the way. That’s part and parcel of life- not everyone is the same. And you’re allowed to have different opinions, but generally what we experience through social media, is really positive. And what they experience is really positive, and I feel like with the kids, day in day out, we’re in a life coaching situation right? And we’re gonna be able to give them, hopefully, really good advice as to how to use social media, which is an incredibly powerful and dare I say it, addictive drug, in a really responsible way as they move forward.
Now I’m not saying I’m right, yeah, in this view, but this is the way we’re choosing to work with social media and the kids, by the way, I know that there are other people, that think that is crazy, right. And they’re like “kids should be shouldn’t be seen on social media. We shouldn’t have a single photo of them of social media,”etc, because all sorts of different reasons. And that is a totally valid opinion, right. There’s, I’ve got no issues with that at all. But what I would say, that as parents, we’re all trying to figure this stuff out, right. Like at the minute growing up in this world, of parenting in this world, is like parenting on quick sand because everything is moving all the time, right? And it’s, you know you’re fed different opinions all the time, and we have to figure out what is best for us. Each one of us out there, has to try figure this out. And I’m not saying I’m right, okay. But this is the route that I’ve, and we’ve decided to go down and all my intuition says that this is a pretty cool way to go, right. And I’m a big fan of following your intuition.
You know a lot of people will say, “ Oh My God, I can’t believe you would put you’re kids on there, being judged, etc, but, actually, you know, part of childhood, part of becoming teenagers and adults, is building resilience and understanding that we do live in a world of judgement, right? Like this idea that you can go through life and not be judged, is like, that’s a ludicrous idea in my head. Like, we’re human beings and you’re judging me right now, I make judgements all the time about people- positive and negative, whatever. So I think my take on it is, that we just, in hopefully quite a soft and gentle way, get the kids understanding that there’s judgement out there, but if you feel good about yourself, and you feel like you’re living your life in your best way, that’s all good. Don’t bother about the judgement, right. And I think that’s a really important lesson for the kids to understand and probably for us to understand as well.”
