A parenting expert criticized Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for allowing their daughter, North West, to perform on stage at the Hollywood Bowl.
Celebrating three decades Lion Kinga lavish tribute event took place at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, May 26. However, the 10-year-old’s performance received mixed reviews and sparked accusations of racism. nepotism, in which experts place responsibility on the parents for controversial decisions.
As clips of the show spread across various social platforms, social media members expressed criticism of North’s performance, expressing their disapproval.
But in the eyes of parenting expert Kirsty Ketley, who spoke to The Sun, it’s important not to nitpick on North, even if she’s considered a “nepo kid” in the public eye.
Experts recommend redirecting any criticism to the appropriate target – North’s parents. According to her, her parents were cruel to let North go on stage when they knew she hadn’t won a position yet.
“Pushing her on stage in front of thousands of people watching in a stadium and exposing her to such harsh criticism and ridicule, at just 10 years old, was cruel and cruel. It could be something that will come back to hurt Kim and Kanye in the future,” the expert said.
“Teaching North that she can have anything she wants, because of who she is, can have a detrimental impact on her self-worth and self-esteem, when or if that expectation is not becomes a reality for her.”
During her performance, it was clear that the audience’s reaction did not match North’s excitement. North beamed with joy as Simba, doing his best to deliver a powerful solo performance of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.” However, dissatisfied viewers quickly went online to express their disdain.
Ketley doesn’t like this.
The parenting expert said that no matter how much attention North finds herself in, and at whatever level of expression, she’s still just a teenager and seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself.

The people responsible are her parents.
This expert also said that currently, North is enjoying the life of a 10-year-old child to the fullest, a lifestyle that many other children of the same age are envious of.
However, because she is young, she still does not understand that she may be taking on too much responsibility. According to reports, she has not yet realized that achievements should be based on personal efforts instead of on the status of her parents and relatives or the popularity she has garnered on social media platforms.
With each passing year and as she grows wiser, she will eventually understand that her achievements are not just the result of her efforts. This perception can lower her confidence and make her doubt her own skills and abilities.
Experts say the common desire of all parents is to support and encourage their children whenever they can.
However, this expert says that just like what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did, trying too hard to accommodate every child’s wishes without considering their suitability or readiness can leading to over-support, which can do more harm than good.
