Would you pay a professional to help your child achieve their dreams? - This West Auckland dad is doing just that

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Western Leader

Hi neighbours, a West Auckland dad is hiring a professional film director to help launch his 10-year-old daughter's career as a YouTube star. Blockhouse Bay resident Sunny Khuran says he's willing to pay someone "quite handsomely" to coach his daughter Shreya to become comfortable in front of the camera, brainstorm ideas with her and help her shoot and edit videos. Would you pay a professional to help your child achieve their dreams? What's the coolest thing your parents did to support your aspirations?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
