Protecting the kids at school
Njongo Mpumlwana, a father to a three-year-old toddler, spoke with Briefly News about being thoughtful of other kids as a parent.
"Parents need to be considerate of how their children show up, whether at school or in the public space because children come from different homes and are taught different backgrounds."
The dotting dad also discussed the dangers of exposing kids to scary outfits.
"Wearing a scary outfit at school can be a traumatic experience, these kids watch monsters and those kinds of things, and some of them get nightmares from those.
"Personally, I don't let my son watch stuff with monsters because he gets nightmares. So, if a child rocks up in a scary outfit at school, all the kids have to be exposed to a real-life monster, which can be traumatic.
The boy's Halloween outfit draws a lot of attention
The video attracted massive popularity, reaching 1.3M views, 102K likes and over 4.5K comments from social media users who liked the video and some who were shocked by the outfit chosen by the toddler's parents.
