Stroking my ego by giving an opinion- ha ha- most of the opinions and judgement by default do stroke someone's ego -some get their ' ego boost' by trying to be morally uptight to strangers on internet .
Yes, giving an opinion about a child on an online forum - an opinion which no way contained a slight , or any content which would qualify as bullying - is just an opinion It is important to build a child's confidence but criticism if given without mal-intent doesn't always hamper growth?
And moreover why do celebrity allow their child's video to be shared on an internet portal by a fan club when they can secure their child's privacy but it used to publicize their own failed career's - obviously one should not look at the intent of these parents ready to put their children in limelight for their selfish gain .
you are the one who quoted my post, and if don't agree then you can have your opinion .
You're most welcome 😊, however my attempt to emphasise on the word 'C H I L D' wasn't intended for it to be actually related to the term. It was simply an easy way to emphasise each letter of the word. I quoted your post because you mentioned the word 'petty' after my initial comment. Clearly it is indicative that your comment (however indirect) was intended as a response to my statement that criticising a child is petty. As opposed to writing a follow up comment (indirectly), I figured it would be just better to quote you.
Constructive criticism is essential for growth, I absolutely agree. However, I am sorry but commenting that she has a lisp (which is so unnecessarily mean), and saying that she has over-stressed each word like her over-acting mother is incredibly condescending. Describing a child who seems to be trying really hard to make emphasis on the importance of her speech as being OTT is ridiculous. She is not acting in a movie for the love of god, there is no need to dissect the way she speaks. This is not even an audition for her to be appointed as a public speaker. There are no judges to make that kind of decision. It is simply a SCHOOL performance - no need to pass judgement based on the criteria that actors and actresses are being judged upon.
Furthermore, commenting that this video does not show enough proof to verify her as being a talented kid is undermining. Do you think that it was a necessary comment to make? I believe ALL children are talented in one way or another. You shouldn't require mountains of evidence (as if this were a police case) to confirm or disconfirm any positive attributes. Like what would be said next? 'After watching 10 videos of Aaradhya Bachan, I can now verify that this 8-year old child is not talented at all.'
Now try some empathy here. If you were an 8-year old child that happened to read the (^) above comments regarding their speech - could you honestly tell me that the child can perceive that as being constructive? Self-esteem is already such a major issue, especially in the current generation. So please do tell me how any of the above is constructive? Reading all of that would make me feel VERY self-conscious about my so called 'lisp', and may hinder my desire to ever speak in public again. I may feel the need to always PROVE my worth by giving MORE EVIDENCE to back up my 'talent'. On that note, simply mouthing out words that are written by someone else is not easy. You require a great amount of memorisation skills and confidence to stand up in stage and dictate (word-for-word) a speech that I may or may not understand, without making any apparent mistakes. Do not undermine the difficulty of public speaking. That shit ain't easy.
Regardless of the parent's intent - I don't really care what they do. If they want to show off or hide their kid, it's their choice. Once they have put their kid in the limelight, we cannot stop others from hurling harsh or critical comments. However, we can stop ourselves from joining others. Let's be real here. If this speech was spoken by another random child then everyone would be applauding her attempt. The ONLY reason people are going 'oh ah lisp, OTT, etc' is because she is a celebrity child and just because she was born with a silver spoon of privileges and entitlements in her mouth, she will always be required to prove herself (and that still wont ever be enough to appease the audience).
This is my opinion and no further comment could change my stance. You're welcome to continue this discussion but it will fall on deaf ears. I believe I have made my point exceedingly clear and so have you.
