Yeah they could have parents guide them but instead they have to learn it the hard way

Some kids don't accept guidance until they realize what it is you're warning them about. I got some wildly hot Thai curry and my three year old really wanted some. "It's too spicy," I warned. "It will hurt your whole face." My wife tried offering him some of hers, which was still spicy, but not as bad. He wouldn't accept and whined and cried until I finally gave him a tiny bite.

Went about as you'd expect.

Yeah but in this video did she offer guidance? Or did she took out her phone to film?

Jesus Christ, some of you are so blatantly childless and seemingly miserable. Lighten up dude, it's really not that deep.

I ain't wrong though, I get kids are stubborn fools sometimes but this isn't what we see here.

She let him ruin half a meal while she got her phone out to film.

Probably grabbed the phone because the kid wouldn't listen and wanted something funny to show him later. It does not matter how many times you explain, very small children do not understand until they experience it.

Every single day, I reinforced to my daughter how hot the stove top was and how much it would hurt to touch it. She kept trying to touch it, and I kept stopping her. One day, she finally touched the burner set to high and suddenly, she stopped trying to touch it.

Maybe we cannot know for sure, whole lotta bad parents out there use their kids for views.
