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 “too much” way of showing affection, especially when the child enters puberty.
World star David Beckham is famous for being a “crazy” 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: “The girl has grown up, it’s time to stop kissing her,” “It’s terrible to kiss your daughter like that,” “It’s beautiful, but wait, don’t kiss your daughter like that,” “David Beckham is really thick-skinned, he’s been warned about this all this time, but he hasn’t changed. Is he going to kiss his daughter until she has a boyfriend?”, “It looks really disgusting”,…
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: “There is nothing wrong with parents showing affection by kissing. It is just a way of expressing their feelings”, “It is great to see such a close father-son relationship”, “Don’t think too much, David is addicted to his son”…
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: “I am very affectionate with children, that is how Victoria and I grew up and raised our children.”
“We want to show love to children, and you know, my family is very affectionate,” he continued.
In the past, David Beckham openly expressed that he kissed all of his children. He shared: “I 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.”
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 world’s top fashion shows to playing sports and studying art at one of England’s most prestigious schools, known as “the artistic training ground reserved for the aristocracy.”
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.
