Love island?!

12, almost 13 yr old daughter is desperate to watch it, but I'm not sure. What would you do?

Nope! It’s an exploitive, shallow TV show that basically body shames and sets ridiculous expectations for young people. Mindless fodder.

I wouldn’t, it’s not exactly teen friendly. I’d steer clear of reality shows altogether tbh, they’re completely over the top and dramatised, teens take it as real life and copy.

I know kids as young as 5 watch it 😒

Absolutely not, the show is just pairing up fame hungry people to have sex with each other and teaching that these dating standards and body expectations are the norm. Absolutely not for 11 yr olds who are just learning about healthy friendships, relationships and body image
