Kirstie Allsopp smashed her kids’ iPads and the responses are worth your screentime

Terrible parenting! She’s not showing them the value of anything.
Don’t get what you want? ….smash something up!
That’s no better than kids and tantrums.
Make your child respect all things and value all things too!— Nadezhda (@charisma1330) September 10, 2018

Because that demonstrated good behaviour, right?

I agree with taking them away but donating them to people who can’t afford to be so frivolous might have driven home a better message.

Bloody love @KirstieMAllsopp.
Absolutely right. Not shirking her responsibility as a parent. https://t.co/6wejjpPJt8

Destruction tends to come from a place of privilege. This made me really cross

I am glad she has enough money to not worry about smashing up expensive items 😱

Gosh! Sounds like a waste of money to me. Also demonstrates that it’s ok to destroy perfectly good tech. I’m sure there must be a more constructive way of teaching this lesson. This just sounds like Kirsty losing her temper. Apologies if I’m misreading the situation?

Amazing moment today — @KirstieMAllsopp says she took her children's iPads and smashed them against the kitchen chairs https://t.co/CwfhRQBiCa

So in touch with ordinary folk who can, of course, smash up expensive electronic devices just to teach their kids a lesson. https://t.co/sCHlYDg25L

But we reckon this person seemed to have the best way of dealing with it.
With the Scouts we just confiscate their chargers… sanctions best delivered slowly and inevitably.

That will give them something to think about while they sit in economy, right kids?
