How To Give A Toddler Nightmares For Life
tags:
Stumble ThisI don't care what you say about fakeness in TV. Kids that age CAN'T act, and that kid is genuinely terrified.
Notice at 2:46, there's a hand on the right part of the screen. My guess is his mom was there saying "come here baby" and kept moving out of reach so he would have to chase her, surrounded by the zombies.
Big video check now, years of psychological therapy bills to come.
Also fail for the crappy outfits @ 3:00.

No.. I haven't seen them. Just someone told me about it because some multi-thousand year old sourced remastered (hundreds of times by the way) book says they are real. But they said they were real, so they are.
Just don't ask me about the bits about killing non-believers being ok, stoning your children, and the like. I just don't pay attention to those parts.
Also, what's with the monster fighting and abyss gazing quote being attributed to Mark Twain? I could have sworn that was Neitzsche.
I completely missed that quote, but yeah, it is a Nietzsche quote... Wtf...
im not a mom yet but i disaprove. most adul problems are root back to experiances from childhood, even ones you dont remember. you brain is growing anf forming and anything can have a lasting impact. even if some disgree of the damaging effects its cruel nonetheless.
It depends on the kid. I've spent my entire life having nightmares. As in several a night, at least 4 times a week, since I was at least 3 years old(yes I remember back that far). I grew up, got used to them, and am going to use them in my career choice of becoming a director. I'm a bit weird, but I'm much more psychologically "ok" than anyone I know.
This was maybe 6 hours of weird creepy things around this baby. He'd have forgotten this in a few days and will be as normal as everyone else.
Great video, nice tune, the kid will have a cool story to tell people when he is older.
If you ask me, which you're not, but i'll tell ya - they have the kid in a room, waiting for him to get bored, tired or hungry and start to kick off like all kids do at that point. And they've superimposed this afterwards.
All of that aside, this is a brilliant depiction of the way some people just drag up their kids, taking them along for the ride rather than properly nurturing them. Very big upvote
He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The misquote at the start completely ruined this for me. I know, I'm strange, but using one of Nietzsche's best quotes and awarding to Mark Twain kind made me throw up a little in my mouth.
The kid won't remember this in a week, let alone be scarred for life.
I finished my first round of psychology about two weeks ago. I'd say they'll remember it, and it'll leave an impression on them. That's how phobias are developed, it doesn't matter what age it is.
For myself, I can not eat peanuts, or any type of nut without a gag reflex kicking in. I have no problems eating peanut butter(or any type of thing like it), in fact I love it. I can't remember the event that triggered it. I was 3 or 4, and choked on a peanut that's all it took. I've been trying for the better part of 4 years to break through that barrier with limited amounts of success.

The kid will be fine. You guys are seriously underestimating the hardiness of the homo sapien species. We are designed for hand to hand combat with wild animals, sleeping on bare ground in cold rain, going weeks without food, surviving extreme heat and cold; and you are worried about a 5 minute video shoot with scary costumes?
Imstellar's back again with his complete lack of depth of knowledge or empathy once again.
This kid would have been seriously, seriously scared. He may not have lasting issues from this, but he will probably have nightmares for at least a few nights and also may find that when he is older he has some illogical fear of some things and can't place what causes these fears.
Until someone shows him this video he was in.
To rant on about what we are 'designed' for is completely missing the point about how impressionable babies and young kids are. You put a baby on the bare ground in the cold rain and see how long it lasts.
Pretty much every post I've seen you make comes from some ideological standpoint with ZERO thought about... oh... real life. Really, every, single thing is a simple adherence to something without really thinking through how things actually operate in the real world. It's as if you have a very small amount of real world experience and have read a bit on some subjects and now think you are the keeper of absolute truth.
You come back to this post when you actually have a child and I bet your feelings won't be the same any more.
really? 31 comments and I'm the one who has to say it?

Ever heard of that thing called psychology?
Love the song.
I feel obliged to go torrent their album
Ever heard of that thing called psychology?
You mean the social science? With like the citations, and rigorous double-blind experiments? I've heard of it, but I don't see any trace of it here; all I see is old-fashioned, egocentric mysticism in a reactionary medium.
I'm citing 500,000 years of evolutionary success; those here are content to cite old wives tales.
^I'm kinda betting on imstellar being a Scientologist, at this point. They don't believe in psychology either.
I'm kinda betting that you're all Christian, at this point. They don't believe in the scientific method and quoting sources of studies that support their claim.

Yeah that one. The one that deals with things like how the brain reacts and could even change during high levels of stress, the one that studies phobias, which are very common even with our successful evolution, the one that happens to study how a kid that age is quite undeveloped and highly dependent on the parents despite the many successful adaptations the kid will learn to use and whose brain will polish as the kid grows. To bring the premise that the kid will be fine due to evolutionary excellence without considering the kid's cognitive state at that age nor any psychological factors is equivalent to speculating. I'm not saying the kid will be traumatized, most likely he won't be. But you do not know if the kid will be fine either simply because we have been successful in terms of evolution. The way the parents handle the kid's fearful experiences plays a major role too. None of this can be seen in the video so you cannot claim he will be fine, in the same way that I cannot and will not claim he will have long term damage.

yeah, way to quote fail:

-Friedrich Nietzsche
Heh, correction fail.
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146

Pff, dragons.. who ever heard of dragons?
If seeing scary monsters was damaging to a child then we are all damaged. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Agreed. We need to take a lesson from the Japanese. Scaring children is hilarious, endearing and prepares them for their future as either zombie apocalypse survivors or underage mech warrior combatants.
