Taiwan media said that the 4-year-old British Prince George and his mother, Princess Kate, went on an outing and was photographed by the media playing with a toy gun , not only facing the muzzle at his mother, but also pressing the baby's head, which triggered heated discussions between British public opinion and netizens. Experts said that games may not necessarily affect real life.
According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" website on June 13, citing the Daily Mail, Prince William went to Gloucestershire to participate in the charity polo competition on June 10, and Princess Kate also took Prince George and Princess Charlotte out for a trip.
reported that when Princess Kate took George and Charlotte and was sitting on the grass with other children playing, the media photographed Prince George playing with a plastic toy gun, not only pointing the muzzle at other children playing with, but also pointing at her mother Princess Kate.
report stated that many netizens criticized that violent cases in the UK are frequent and Prince George should not be allowed to play with guns. Some netizens said: "The whole country is shrouded in gun and knife crimes. It's sad to see Prince George playing with a gun."
Some netizens said that this is not a joke. There are indeed many children who mistakenly think that guns are toys, and thus a fatal accident occurred. Some people say that they don’t understand the principle of making toy guns at all, and why they play an item that they should never use. Some people also say, can't you give Prince George toy car or football?
Some netizens believe that Princess Kate should not be blamed for this kind of thing, because they don’t know who brought the toy gun, but someone should come forward to stop it.
However, many netizens also believe that criticizing Prince George for playing with guns is too small. "He is just a kid who loves to play police and gangster games. Everyone is so fussy."
Should I give a toy gun to the child? The Independent reported that some experts said that this creative game helps children develop.
Parent-child expert Smith said: "I understand that some parents are worried about their children playing with guns, but research shows that the aggressiveness shown in war games will not be brought to real life. In other words, children who play guns are not more violent than children who do not play guns."
She said that playing games is a way for children to understand the world. At the age of playing guns, this game allows them to understand the events that happen in the news. Even if parents strictly prohibit toy guns, children may find alternatives to pretend to be guns, like branches.
Another parent-child expert, Marshall, also agreed with this statement. She said that according to her experience, even if children are prohibited from playing with guns, they will still find alternatives, whether they are sticks, Legos, wooden spoons, etc., they can be turned into guns to play.
She said that since guns are something that does exist in real life, whether it is in the army, online games, movies, or shooting competitions. She encouraged parents to accompany their children to explore and recognize guns.
