Eeuughhh…these parent influencers fry my brain!! I’ve just been blocked by one for sharing my view on child internet safety.
She asked about how to manage a tantruming child when he wanted his tablet. I said he wouldn’t understand why he can’t have his when she has hers all the time filming content.
She replied saying she got my point and only films then for 3 mins a day
and understood not everyone likes it. She said she used advice given to help herself and others.
I replied (v friendly and in no way attacky) saying parenting advice could still be shared without sharing the children and how I had strong views on child internet safety and it would freak me out if a stranger knew so much about my child. I also said how a distressed child would prefer a cuddle than a phone filming them and how as parents we have to protect our children’s privacy. And then I was blocked!
Sharing this here as it’s so similar to the FOD approach. Blocking is the new equivalent to burying your head in the sand.
I’m not a troll cause I don’t think you should expose your children’s privacy to every random on the internet. I know where her kids go to school and what their bedrooms look like - literally makes my skin crawl that someone I didn’t know knew this about my kid.
I hope it’s made her think a little bit at the very least!
Btw I followed her because she lives in Singapore so I loved seeing places there…certainly not for her parenting advice.
