A social experiment using a hidden camera was conducted to highlight the issue of overly demanding parents, particularly in children's sports. An actor played the role of a demanding father, belittling and criticizing his son's performance in a football game. The father was shown to be extremely critical, making the child feel worthless and unappreciated.
The scene was witnessed by other customers in a cafeteria, who were shocked and disturbed by the father's behavior. Eventually, a woman and a man intervened, offering the child a snack and reassurance, and advising the father to change his behavior. The experiment aimed to raise awareness about the impact of excessive parental pressure on children's emotional well-being and to promote a more positive and supportive approach to parenting.
