  • Children learn how to take responsibility 

    • The children will evolve and become more independent 

    • The children get a great and fun experience that can provide them with confidence

    • The children might learn new things about themselves

    • It might provide them with contacts in the TV-media world, which could benefit them later on

    • Parents get to see how their children behave when they are not around to supervise them. 

    • They all have new friends they still see. 

    • An experiment like this can have a scientific purpose and provide information about the behaviour of children.

  • Can give children an arrogant attitude to be exposed to this kind of attention (so early on)

    • The exposure to intense media attention can lead to low self esteem - especially because children at that young of an age are particularly sensitive and insecure.  

    • The false reality of reality shows can mess with your mind 

    • Although there are supervisors to break up fights and disagreements, feeling unsafe or being bullied/ left out, for a longer period of time, is unhealthy for children

    • The TV-program will forever be available for everyone to see, which will follow them for the rest of their lives 

    • Children’s brains haven’t developed fully, which will make them vulnerable to influences of the tough media world. 

    • The children are too young to have an idea of the consequences of participating in a reality show, so when their parents are making the decision to let their child participate in a reality show, they’re accepting the consequences on behalf of their children.

    • The usual seeking of sensationalism in reality shows can lead to children attempting to desperately stir up controversy in order to stay relevant, and be kept in the loop.
