MasterChef Junior

Great fun program but in season 1 one of the children made me feel a bit worried. Sarah a 9yo really needs some attitude check by her parents. I get it is a competition but that's when you can see what they are really like as people interacting with others. She seems to lack empathy for others, enjoying when they mess it up and thriving when they get eliminated whilst the other kids get emotional showing sympathy for the other kids. Her saying you should keep your friends close but your enemies closer sounds like something you would hear from a sociopath adult not a 9 year old girl. Parents need to pay attention to these nasty behaviours while they are young, they will not always be small and cute and growing up without good values will not only hurt them but others.

Waiting for the adult version and watched this it's genius. Absolutely better then adult version and some great dishes. I love it.to see children of such an age cooking with this skill is amazing and should always be supported. I was lucky to be in a school that let me cook with the girls and it was pivotal in my upgrowing. This is one of the few I won't check out who won I will be binge watching this. Any of theses kids could cook for me and I would be happy. I'm in uk and unfortunately the can mostly only cook nuggets and chips sorry fries good luck to the winner I can't wait to find out ...

That said, season 8: a kid named A'dan is the biggest punk I've ever seen on the show. Clearly his parents didn't raise him right. Little snot who can't get along with anyone. Self centered, bossy, and thinks he knows it all. Even the judges had to get him in line. Something his parents clearly never did ...

I can't believe how talented these kids are! They are wonderful to be able to cook at that kind of level! I give them so much credit!

Frankly from what i've seen so far i didn't see any bullying but then again, the other kids do shout at one another to support them and motivate them. Perhaps that can be concieved as bullying? That i'm not too sure about but the show is definitely amazing to watch especially when a 9 year old can cook like that. simply amazing.

I am far to be fan of this kind of competitions. First, because I believe than each of us is unique. Second, because the kids are not adults and the childhood must not be a battle field too early.

But I saw this contest for simple truth than the imagination and ingenuity of children is ust important as examples for adults.

Some of that exists.

Unfortunatelly, not very much.

But enough for a nice program . And for few revelations, joy and way to see the young people .

So, not a bad experience. Only not the most seductive.
