Setting the rule of not letting her children have early contact with TV, iPad or phones, technology reviewer Ngoc Vy finally felt "a mistake back then".

In the talk show Back then, BroHaus, Ngoc Vy shared a quite interesting story about this change. A point of view that she had set out very clearly before having children, but when it came to reality, things did not go as planned.

Ngoc Vy shared in the talk show that she accidentally said something

I thought I wouldn't let my children watch TV, iPads, or phones too early

Ngoc Vy admitted that in the past she thought she would not let her children watch TV, iPads or phones too early. This was a fairly clear point of view, but when it came to reality, she herself could not maintain that principle as intended.

During the conversation, when reminded of the past, the female reviewer frankly admitted: "But in the end, I watched it all. I watched everything: TV, iPad, phone."

This change did not come from her suddenly changing her perspective on technology, but from very real situations in work and life.

When review work makes the original principle difficult to maintain

Ngoc Vy said she now works independently, no longer in a fixed company environment. The job still requires handling many tasks, especially feedback from customers.

There are times when she needs to focus on working on the computer or dealing with feedback, so she has to turn on the TV for her children to watch. When at home, most of the time it's just the two of us, so juggling work and taking care of the kids is not always easy.

An interesting detail recounted by Ngoc Vy is that there were times when her child came to her mother and said, "Mom, turn off the computer, I'll play with you."

Behind that statement is a familiar situation for people who work as content creators or work independently: the boundary between work time and personal time is sometimes not really clear. Computers, which are a tool to handle work, can also become something that makes it difficult for parents to spend all their time with their children.

From completely banning to controlling the content your children watch

From wanting her children to stay away from TV, iPads and phones, Ngoc Vy gradually changed her perspective. During times when she needs to focus on handling work, she still turns on the TV for her children to watch instead of trying to maintain an absolute ban. What she cares more about now is choosing and controlling the content that her children are exposed to.

This is a notable change compared to the female reviewer's initial thoughts. The reality of her job made her realize that parents cannot always implement all the principles set out. It's more important to find a way to use it that suits the situation, instead of just maintaining a rigid ban.

Stories behind a technology reviewer

Not only did she share the story of letting her children come into contact with electronic devices, in the conversation on the talk show Back then, she accidentally spoke, Ngoc Vy also looked back on many notable perspectives and experiences during her journey as a reviewer. From arguments with viewers, how to handle when the product experience does not meet expectations, principles of working with brands to stories about customer support after purchasing the product, she shares quite frankly about what goes on behind a video review.

In particular, Ngoc Vy also talked about the point of not praising inherently bad products and disagreeing with exaggerating basic features into breakthrough points. These are all issues that rarely appear in a regular product review video, but clearly reflect how a reviewer views his or her work.

These stories were shared by Ngoc Vy in the video Hoi That Missed Speech. Not only were there hidden corners behind the technology review job, the conversation also revealed opinions that, looking back, she herself had to admit that in the past she had sometimes 'slips her words'. Readers are invited to watch the entire video to discover these interesting shares.
