The Debate: Taylor Swift’s snub, danger of impact sports and ‘Sittervising’.

The Debate with Mike Le Couteur

06-02-2024 • 39 mins

In this episode Kate Carnegie and Mohit Rajhans debate:

  • Controversy at the Grammys as some believe Taylor Swift snubbed Celine Dion on stage. The Canadian singer made a surprise appearance as she battles health issues. The two were spotted hugging backstage after. Did Swift snub Celine? Or was she caught up in the excitement?
  • A U.K. study says allowing children to play impact sports like rugby and boxing amounts to a form of child abuse. The authors say those sports' governing bodies "effectively groom children into ... accepting brain trauma." Do you agree?
  • 'Sittervising' is a new hands-off parenting approach, encouraging parents to step back more and make kids play on their own. Some critics argue this was commonplace before the trend of helicopter parenting. Do parents need to be reminded to “sittervise?”
