  • Should We Post Embarrassing Pictures Of Our Children

    Should we post embarrassing pictures of our children onto social media platforms like, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and snapchat.

    Your little ones are so funny, so cute and so mischievous, and parents regularly capture precious moments onto their phones cameras.

    But should we post embarrassing pictures of our children online?

    You know the ones I’m talking about, the two-year old who has smeared poop all over themselves, the little boy covered in make up, the girl with a toilet seat stuck on their head.

    Now I love seeing these photos, they make me smile and even laugh.

    But after speaking with a friend I’m in two minds whether or not we should share these images online, this is what she said to me:

    “imagine your child seeing that photo in years to come, imagine a bully finding it on social media and sharing with all of their peers, embarrassing photos should be for family photo albums only not for the entire internet”.

    Now that got me thinking should we post embarrassing pictures online, are we going to wound our children when they are all grown? are our children going to hate us for posting their childhood stupidity for the world to see?

    I regularly attend a breast-feeding support group and put this debate to them, the majority disagreed with the statement and said it was harmless and every parent embarrasses their child at some point in their life, a few mums didn’t agree with posting any photos at all online.

    So I decided I would ask my children what they thought, I was met with shrugs and mehs from my 4 and 6 year old until I asked my 11-year-old and he said he would not be happy with photos of him online, even as an infant which could cause embarrassment.

    I have now decided any photo which could cause embarrassment or shame are to be printed off and kept in our family album and only pulled out to embarrass my child face to face.

    What do you feel? Is it something personal or are you happy to share on social media, can it affect a child when they grow?

  • Do Children Still Believe In Santa?

    Do kids still believe in Santa?

    With Just over a month to go until the big day, a new company is offering to make a Realistic Santa CCTV footage video of Santa in your home. Using green screen technology Santa CCTV uses your own home photos to produce the video.
    Do your kids still believe in Santa? We do!

    According to a poll done by www.santacctv.co.uk Eighty-one percent of parents with kids ages 10 or under say at least one of their children thinks Santa Claus is real. Another 14 percent say their kids have outgrown the belief, while 9 percent say their kids never believed in Santa in the first place. One-in-three youngsters in the UK join in the ritual to save their mum and dad from “getting sad” on Christmas day.
    Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of adult respondents believe it’s OK for kids to believe in Santa, although they pick age 12 as the average age at which children should learn the truth.
    Just over one-fifth of parents with kids between the ages of 11 and 17 say their kids still believe in Santa Claus.
    Three-quarters of the adults surveyed say they believed in Santa as kids, up until the age of 9.

    Refreshingly, there’s little sign of a partisan gap. Older people, though, are a little more likely to have believed — 80 percent of those ages 45 and older say that they did, compared to just 66 percent of those under 30.
    One-fifth of people have spoiled Santa for someone!

    Seventeen percent of respondents say that they’ve told someone who believed in Santa Claus that he didn’t exist.
    Julie Hill from http://www.santacctv.co.uk said ‘Christmas is a magical time, and keeping the spirit of Santa Claus alive is important. Our videos are a little bit of Christmas Magic!’ (santa cctv demo:https://youtu.be/e3sf3pHDc1I)

  • The Party Trend Dividing Parents 

    Tiered birthday parties are the latest trend to sweep school years across the globe.

    Seen by some as a way of being inclusive to all kids whilst still allowing children to celebrate their birthday with their closest group of friends, other parents are criticising the trend as ‘mean’ and ‘hurtful’.

    What are tiered birthday parties?

    Known also as two-tiered birthday parties, the idea is essentially that a child will invite all of his or her class to their main birthday party, but then at the end of the main event, a much smaller, more select group of children will be invited on for a second celebration too. 

    Normally a sleepover, or something held at the child’s home, the idea is that where most parents can’t host a whole class in their house, they can still let their child have a birthday event with just their closest friends

    So, what’s the problem with tiered birthday parties?

    Children’s birthday parties can be controversial enough already. How much do you spend on a child’s birthday gift? Should siblings be invited to the party? Should other parents stay to provide moral support instead of leaving? And the idea of two tiered parties seem to be no exception.

    While some parents have defended their decision to throw one, arguing that they wanted to include the whole class in the party but could only safely let their child invite four or five children to stay the night, others have branded the idea as ‘mean-spirited.’

    Some mums have expressed that their child would feel they were left out or not as popular if they discovered they were not invited to the VIP after party.

    So, what do you think? Do you think tiered birthday parties are cruel? Or just practical for the parents, not personal? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
