Could Jordan Matter’s challenges encourage risky copying?
In “I Built a SECRET MALL in my House,” someone asks whether a rug should cover a hole so someone could fall through it. The group also considers a secret room under a pool with an oxygen tank. These ideas are discussed, but the evidence does not show that they were carried out. Tell your kid not to imitate them; a hidden floor opening or underwater setup can cause serious harm.
Watch at 1:12Watch at 2:27“I Can't Sleep Until I Find a Rare Glitter Dumpling” turns a search for a toy into challenges, including a direction for Jordan to jump off a bridge and swim to retrieve dumplings. The cheer competition, “Ages 1-25 Compete In EXTREME CHEER,” ends with flips over a bar that keeps getting higher. These are challenge-show situations, not instructions for your kid to try.
