    Seems to be that way. Either you think this is child abuse or you're a weirdo.

    Children are getting exercise that's all I see, you can't trust either video as they're edited. The Chinese one looks bad but it's a very slickly made video which I'm sure had an agenda to push. I doubt all of the kids training is like that. Frankly it doesn't seem much worse than a GAA coach screaming and shouting at an under 12 team in the rain. I don't agree with either of them but I've met childhood gymnasts and childhood GAA players and it doesn't seem to have affected them too badly.

    Healthy?? yes


    Ethical?? prob not

    Children that age haven't developed the concepts necessary to be able to make their own decisions. Their actions are based on the reaction they get from their other people. For example: Dads happy when I flex and do push ups, ill keep doing this.

    I don't think this is child abuse any more than giving kids sweets and DVDs instead of attention and interest. It may be hard for the kids but they're learning important life lessons and real skills. Ask them in ten or fifteen years was it worth it and I'm sure they'll say yes. As opposed to lazy Irish parents pawning their kids off on tv, computer games and junk food until they're old enough to knacker drink. Fair play to the adults for caring about and encouraging the kids.

    do not compare this with too fat children. they know they are getting better en that is not healthy

    but this kid does not know because there are not adverts about children not to exercise or something like that
