Every parent has a different way of showing affection to their child. Compared to hugging or cuddling, kissing a child on the lips receives mixed reviews. For some, kissing a child on the lips can be a โtoo muchโ way of showing affection, especially when the child enters puberty.
World star David Beckham is famous for being a โcrazyโ father and is often seen kissing his youngest daughter, Harper Bechkam.
When Harper turned 10, David began receiving harsh criticism from the online community when he posted a photo of the two kissing on social media.
Some netizens commented: โThe girl has grown up, itโs time to stop kissing her,โ โItโs terrible to kiss your daughter like that,โ โItโs beautiful, but wait, donโt kiss your daughter like that,โ โDavid Beckham is really thick-skinned, heโs been warned about this all this time, but he hasnโt changed. Is he going to kiss his daughter until she has a boyfriend?โ, โIt looks really disgustingโ,โฆ
Beckham kissed his daughter since she was a baby.
However, there are also some parents who sympathize and fully support the former England player. They think: โThere is nothing wrong with parents showing affection by kissing. It is just a way of expressing their feelingsโ, โIt is great to see such a close father-son relationshipโ, โDonโt think too much, David is addicted to his sonโโฆ
As for David Beckham, the father of four did not hesitate to speak out against criticism for his act of kissing his daughter on the lips. He explained: โI am very affectionate with children, that is how Victoria and I grew up and raised our children.โ
โWe want to show love to children, and you know, my family is very affectionate,โ he continued.
In the past, David Beckham openly expressed that he kissed all of his children. He shared: โI was criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips. I kiss all my children on the lips, except maybe Brooklyn. Brooklyn is 18 and that might be a bit strange for her.โ
However, in the eyes of many people, the former playerโs kiss with Harper Beckham was somewhat inappropriate.
Footballer David Beckham and former Spicy Girl Victoria Beckham are considered the dream couple of the entertainment industry. The couple has been together for 23 years and has four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
Among them, the youngest Harper is the only daughter and receives a lot of pampering from her parents and siblings.
From the moment she was born, Harper was considered a princess with a silver spoon in her mouth, becoming the centre of attention of the media.
In puberty, Harper appeared as a beautiful young girl with long blonde hair, tall stature and increasingly showing her personality. However, when she was with her father, Harper was still a little princess, pampered to the max.
With a world-famous footballer father and a singer and fashion designer mother, Harper Beckham has experienced many self-discovery activities, from attending the worldโs top fashion shows to playing sports and studying art at one of Englandโs most prestigious schools, known as โthe artistic training ground reserved for the aristocracy.โ
It can be seen that David Beakham and his wife invest all their efforts into their little princess, creating the conditions for her to develop her talent to the fullest. In addition, the couple also raises their daughter very strictly.
Few people know that Victoria has strictly forbidden Harper to wear makeup when she goes out, except on special occasions. In addition, the A-list couple also sets rules about their childโs dating and monitors the content the child posts on social media.
โWe are strong and strict parents. But we are like most parents. We love our children and only want the best for them,โ the father of four shared.
