Naomi Neo's son did not agree to have another sibling. "I don't want to share mama," sweet little Kyzo said.

Popular influencer Naomi Neo pranked her 4-year-old son that she was having another baby. Read about her child's reaction here.

Naomi Neo pranks her 4-year-old son that she is pregnant

A baby is a blessing to a family, and welcoming another child is usually a piece of good news to many. However, it will not always be the same case for older siblings. 

Naomi Neo, a Singaporean influencer, made a Tiktok video of her pranking her 4-year-old son. The prank? A baby announcement. She told her firstborn child, Kyzo, that he would be having a new sibling. 

"I have something to tell you," Naomi Neo told her son, Kyzo.  "Mummy's having another baby!!" she added. 

Naomi sounded very excited while telling her 4-year-old son that he was about to have another sibling. However, Kyzo did not seem so happy about what he heard from his mum. 

Kyzo was unhappy to have another younger sibling

Naomi Neo's son was a bit confused at first. Upon showing him the pregnancy ultrasound photo, Kyzo shook his head. 

He was so unhappy that he continued shaking his head until he burst into tears.

"I don't like baby," Kyzo said. 

He said that babies are not nice; he does not want to have another sibling. Aside from that, the 4-year-old kid told her mum that he did not want her to "love someone else," to which Naomi responded,

"I'll still love you the same."

Unfortunately, her son still did not agree with the idea of having another sibling.

"I don't want to share mama," sweet little Kyzo said to her mum. 

Naomi Neo confirmed that she is not pregnant, so Kyzo has nothing to worry about... for now.

The negative effects of pulling a prank on kids

The use of different social media applications is very prevalent these days. People enjoy creating social media, particularly Youtube and Tiktok pranks. 

Because of smartphones, Do-It-Yourself pranks are now easier to pull off. People can now easily pull a trick on anyone, anywhere, and anytime by simply hiding phones or cameras. 

However, one among many subcategories of the online prank is millennial parents pranking their own children. 

Pranking your child can be fun and enjoyable to watch, especially by other people. However, always remember that pulling a prank could affect your relationship with your child. 

"The relationship that kids have with their parents is special," said Stephanie Zerwas, a psychologist and therapist and associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

"It sets the mold for all the other relationships in their lives. Building trust between parents and kids is critical.

When parents prank their kids, they erode that trust. They give the message that the people who are closest and most important to you can be unpredictable and cruel."

There are better ways to have fun and create happy memories with your kids aside from pranking them.

According to Eileen Kennedy-Moore, a psychologist and author of Kid Confidence: Help Your Child Make Friends, Build Resilience, and Develop Real Self-Esteem,

"Pranks have a level of aggression in them, and I'm not a fan, especially from parents toward kids."

For her, it is not the parent's role to deliberately cause kids to be upset for no good reason - not even for entertainment purposes.

Parents should avoid creating pranks that can cause their kids stress, anxiety, or sadness. They should refrain from doing something that could make their child feel foolish. 

"Little kids find it hilarious if you put their socks on your ears," Kennedy-Moore said. "That kind of goofiness is the kind of humor that we're aiming for."

Know your kids

Not every child understands and appreciates pranks, regardless of whether it is good or bad.

Some pranks are totally harmless and would not cause any distress. However, every kid is different. Some children are more sensitive and would feel uncomfortable being pranked. 

To avoid conflict or problems between you and your child, it is essential that you know how your child will react. 

Furthermore, Kennedy-Moore emphasized the value of your kid's privacy.

"I'm a big believer in protecting children's privacy," she said. "I don't know anybody who, when they're 30 and applying for a job, would like a video of them crying online. That's failing at our stewardship of our children."

Children are little people with big feelings. One of the parent's main jobs is to teach their children how to make life, socialize, and be in a relationship. Parents are only teaching their children that casual cruelty is okay and normal by pranking.
