Should I be letting my daughter do this?

[flamingwords]

I submitted a video clip to YouTube last week of my three year old climbing the door frame. Its had a crazy response and she is enjoying the attention. I've had requests from people like good morning america to show the clip and the BBC did an interview with her today. I'm getting a little worried that she may become a bit spoilt over the whole thing or it will encourage her to do dangerous things just to get attention. I don't want to be a pushy parent but then again if its something she enjoys doing should I not encourage her?

Isn't that kind of thing normal? My sisters and I used to do similar on a section of wall at the top of our stairs.

Hi Op
Your DD is v sweet.
'Fraid we've removed your link to the you tube video and your other thread, as we don't really allow this kind of advertising, such as it is.
Best of luck with all the Beeb stuff
Thanks

& I agree RE the stealth boasting. 200,000 views on youtube isn't THAT much in the grand scheme of things.

How is it advertising? Are they selling door frames, climbing courses, toddlers? Have I missed something?

Getting lots of hits on your youtube page by putting a link on here is advertising. People get deals with youtube, and they can get paid for the traffic they bring to the site. {sad but true}

It was advertising cushions, there was a wide variety below the door frame.

I never knew that about YouTube. I must convince dd to something interesting on camera, or maybe the dog.....

I wanna see it. Love watching kids do daring things!

Problems arise easily when new members start threads like this.

which is your kid ?

there is a few vids on you tube of kids climbing door frames.. looks great .. i am going to teach mine.

yes savoy lol I have!!! I haven't uploaded it though but I might, he really wants to do it - it is amazing for me as he has some er issues but also he had severe speech delay and still learning now though his vocab is amazing (weirdly) so to see him do something like that is fab really - if not a bit nerdy

Yeah, let her have her 15 mins of fame

ohhh, spoil sport MNHQ but yeah, stealth boast

Ooh, I want to see it, what should I look for on youtube?

oh, i hate to rain on your parade OP, but i looked on Youtube and it would seem that kids climbing the door frames has been going on for some time i couldnt find any recent adds though

As the yoof of today would say "stop begging it!"

Thanks fairenuff

Internet's a strange thing, hope she's enjoying her 15 minutes (she is very sweet and determined!)

Er.. Am I missing something here- didn't we all used to climb the door frames as kids?

Personally I wouldnt want to splash my kids all over the Internet, but then I'm not really interested in viewing other people's kiddies doing their party trick.

Funny old thing, the Internet. Shows how it's perfectly possible to get maximum exposure for really ordinary stuff. Whether that exposure is really a good thing is another question..

Let me know if you ever do Maxybrown. It sounds cracking.

I couldn't give a hoot about the door frame thing though.

Sorry but what a load of nonsense. Why wold a parent be so eager to splash their kids all over the net doing something that a lot of active kids do. The parent seems to be after the limelight here. Ridiculous.

Attention stealth boast. Well in.
