Every parent has a different way of showing affection to their child. Compared to hugs or caresses, kissing a child on the lips receives mixed opinions. 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 to receive harsh criticism from the online community when he posted a photo of the two kissing on social media.

Some netizens commented: “The girl is 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 advised about this all this time but hasn’t changed. Is he going to kiss his daughter until she has a boyfriend?”, “It looks really disgusting”,…

However, there are also some parents who sympathize and fully support the former player from England. They think : “There is nothing wrong with parents showing affection by kissing. It is just a way to express their feelings”, “It is great to see such a close father-son relationship”, “Don’t think too deeply, David is just addicted to his son”…

As for David Beckham, the father of four did not hesitate to speak out against criticism of 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 the kids, 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 criticized for kissing my daughter on the lips. I kiss all my children on the lips, except maybe Brooklyn. Brooklyn is 18 and might find that a bit strange.”

However, in the eyes of many people, the former player kissing 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 have been together for 23 years and have 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 brothers.

From the moment she was born, Harper was considered a princess with a silver spoon in her mouth, becoming the center of media attention.

At puberty, Harper appeared as a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair, tall stature, and increasingly showing her personality. However, when with her father, Harper was still a little princess, pampered to the utmost.

With a world-famous soccer player father and a singer-fashion designer mother, Harper Beckham has experienced many self-discovery activities, from attending the world’s top fashion shows to practicing sports and studying art at one of the most prestigious schools in England, known as “the art training ground reserved for the aristocracy”.

It can be seen that David Beakham and his wife invest all their efforts in their little princess, creating conditions for her to develop her talent to the maximum. Besides, the couple also raise their child very strictly.

Few people know that Victoria has strictly forbidden Harper from wearing makeup when going out, except on special occasions. In addition, the A-list couple also sets rules about their child’s dating as well as controls the content that the child posts on social media.

“We are strong and strict parents. But we are like most parents. We love our children and only want the best for them,” the father of four shared.
