I think that\u2019s really important.\u201d TikTok divided over Julia Fox\u2019s parenting advice Thousands of TikTok users took to the comment section to share their thoughts on the model\u2019s parenting tips. \u201cCompletely agree my son has been doing electric work in our home since he was 1.5 yrs,\u201d one parent quipped. \u201cYes, everyone always compliments my daughters vocabulary\/speech and it is because i have always conversed with her like a human, not a helpless being,\u201d another one shared. Some people disagreed with Julia however, and criticized her advice. \u201cGiving kids toys that don\u2019t necessarily have a purpose (to us) isn\u2019t \u2018pointless,\u2019 it aids in their cognitive\/physical development! Toys aren\u2019t useless,\u201d someone wrote. \u201cI would argue that the concept of childhood is more about protecting people at the most vulnerable stage of their life than selling products?\u201d another one added. \u201cSounds like child labor,\u201d a third user commented. Julia responded to the criticism by sharing a video of her with her 19-month-old son Valentino. She asked her baby \u201cDo you work in a labor camp?\u201d In response, he buried his face in his mom\u2019s lap, prompting her to say, \u201cThe answer is no.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
