TV appearance may hurt child's development

THE AUTHORITIES recently released a document that in principle prohibits the children of stars from appearing on TV programs. This will mean popular shows such as Where are we going dad?, which features celebrities traveling with their children, will no longer be made. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

Many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the new document because they think child stars perform better than their parents.

However, such entertainment comes at the cost of children's rights. Most of the children are 5 to 8 years old, and being exposed to the public at such an early age might hurt their personal development and distort their psychological health.
