Hi Harriet
My older kids are a similar age to your older ones. I too have had a discussion with them about what is happening in America.
Mine, however, was mature, respectful to the subject and respectful to my kids.
I didn’t feel the need to film me mouthing along to a swear filled vocal, nor did I feel the need to post that on Instagram.
I can’t see how any of that benefits your child? Surely the only possible outcome is that you get some engagement from your followers.
Are you going for the shock factor? Do you want to appear edgy and cool?!
As a fellow mother I would have been more impressed had you just done a post saying you’d had the chat. Maybe include some well researched tips on how to handle sensitive topics with children.
On the flip side of you wanting to get more attention, will be your child’s worried school and teacher, who may hear him use that language, or reenact the audio, or even just tell a friend what him and his mum got up to last night.
Imagine how far reaching the consequences could be from this one stupid video you’ve done.
Please can you start putting your children (and their peers) above your need for social media attention.
