Kapanlagi.com - Now Paula Verhoeven and Baim Wong are happy to be parents. The presence of Kiano as their first child also adds color to their days.
However, recently Paula's name was mentioned by Twitter users. It was because she was participating in a parenting-themed event on Trans TV. What caught attention was that Paula was seen accompanying Kiano playing fish.
Immediately, netizens who claimed to be unhappy about fish being used as a toy expressed their criticism towards Baim Wong's wife. There were even many reactions from netizens directed at the 32-year-old woman.

In a photo shared from Instagram account @ifotainment, Paula can be seen hosting an event titled 'Smart Mom'. At that time, she spent time with Kiano playing with fish in a large bowl.
It can be seen that Kiano looks happy holding the fish. However, suddenly one of the fish jumped out of the bowl. Paula immediately showed Kiano that the fish was jumping.
2. Netizens' Criticism

Twitter netizens who saw this immediately expressed their annoyance on Twitter. Some of them said that the event was not educational because it treated fish as toys.
"So sad, in the morning I rarely watch TV and when I do, I see a completely non-educational program. Fish are not toys! Living creatures should not be lifted and squeezed," wrote the netizen.
3. Pro Netizens
As if not agreeing with the opposing opinions of netizens, other netizens said they agreed with Paula's attitude. This is because they are a mother who has also provided animals as learning materials for their child. Of course, not to hurt, but playing with animals can train the child's motor nerves.
"This is one way to train a child's motor skills. If everything is seen from the negative side, surely the understanding will also be negative. Out there, there are still many ways for mothers to educate their children, or have you ever complained about the fish sellers, frog sellers, duck sellers, or bird sellers in front of elementary schools? Has it ever been discussed before?" said another netizen as quoted from Instagram @ifotainment.
"This is just because she's an artist, so it seems like exploitation. There's no need to be so exaggerated in responding. Maybe our parents also taught us something far more extreme than just catching fish. Besides, Paula is just following directions," he added.
So, which one do you agree with more, KLovers?
