1 . Family vlogging — the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family, usually on video sharing website — has become big business nowadays, especially among parents of young children. The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make. At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money. However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention?

For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy — Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others. They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and stressed. Comments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors (赞助者) can also affect the parents’ reactions towards their children.

Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children’s lives. As the children reach adolescence, there is a greaser need for personal space. At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends. Teenhood is a time of significant change in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public.

Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives. There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to. Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake.

2 . ZHAO ZHIZHONG, a professor of geography at Hainan Normal University, recently proposed to make the law and forbid pupils below the age of 16 to use smartphones. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

With the prosperity of the economy, many families choose to buy a smartphone for their children at school to search for materials and assist in studying.     1    .

In and out of class, the pupils have smartphones in their hands.     2    . While enjoying their lunch, they hold them in their hands. Even on the bed before sleeping, they hold one in their hands.

It seems the heavy addiction to smartphones is affecting ever more pupils at young ages.     3    . The addiction to smartphones, which is popular among pupils, is a problem that affects them in many aspects. It distracts them from their academic studies and prevents them from talking with each other. That’s why quite many people agree to limit the use of smartphones among pupils. That’s also why Zhao’s proposal got quite a wide welcome among the public.

    4    . This is because smartphones, if used well, do play a key role in helping the pupils get wider access to the outside world and broaden their horizon. Besides, the school might not have the power to forbid pupils from using their own properties that do not pose harm to others.

There are certain countries that limit pupils from using smartphones in class but allow them to use them after it.     5    . But that can offer some food for thought.

A．While walking, they hold them in their hands.

B．So a flexible ban can be considered to avoid the trouble.

C．They, just like their parents, have become enslaved by smartphones.

D．However, it remains doubtful whether a simple ban is proper.

E．Perhaps a child model for smartphones can also be introduced.

F．The actual effect remains to be seen.

G．In fact, when children get their smartphones, the situation is different.
