The Ministry of Education has deemed the desire for children to eat candy shaped like worms and blood as inadequate. A child's wish to try sweets in the form of worms, blood, or similar images cannot be considered normal from a psychoneurologist's perspective, according to a letter from the Ministry of Education containing updated recommendations on the use of digital technologies by children.
Consensus
- The Ministry of Education stated that children's desire to eat candies shaped like worms, blood, or feces is not adequate from a psychoneurological standpoint.
- The ministry cited the influence of internet content and viral videos as a factor behind such food preferences among children.
- The document was sent to regional authorities and includes updated recommendations on digital technology use by minors.
Points of divergence
- The ministry specifically mentioned 'foreign video clips (e.g., for Halloween and other similar destructive phenomena)' as a source of such influences. — tg_astrapress
- The ministry emphasized that children aged 7–11 from Generation Alpha have not fully developed theoretical thinking, making them more susceptible to social media influence. — tg_mash
