Maxim Fadeev after the weeping girl at the "Minute of Glory": "Believe in your children until your last breath"

Sincere experiences of the eight-year-old girl,which the judges - Vladimir Pozner and Renata Litvinova - literally smeared before the millionth audience of Channel One, the ones closest to the heart were those who have their children and who have a lot of experience working with kids. Producer Maxim Fadeev could not restrain himself. Two seasons he was a mentor in the project "Voice. Children". He had to make a choice. Explain to the children why he gave preference to one or another performer. And he, like no other, has the right to his own vision of the situation.Photo:@fadeevmaxim“I have always deeply respected Mr. Pozner and considered him to be a very intelligent, subtle person, a top-class journalist,” Fadeev wrote on his Instagram. “But, in my opinion, his attitude towards this little child was very cruel and absolutely insensitive. He is also a father and knows very well that one must be extremely careful and attentive in assessing and criticizing a child. Of course, there should be criticism, but it should be careful and not mean.” Fadeev admits that he cried with Vika when he listened to the jury members criticize her. And he was offended that she had to justify her choice of song and what she put into it. “She puts in exactly what she feels, that’s enough! She is not obliged to throw out all sorts of intellectual sayings in order to indulge the ears of such spoiled husbands. She just sang, and that’s it. It’s neither good nor bad. She simply sang, trying to convey her feelings as best she could." Fadeev recalled how, while on "The Voice," he tried to be as careful as possible in all the lyrics addressed to children. And he admitted: as a child, he himself seemed to be in Vika's place - all the people who were involved in his professional upbringing said that he was good for nothing. - I know what Vika feels, - the musician said. - I had a real flair-back from my childhood. And then ... then Maxim moves from the particular to the general - he says such wise, such correct things that you just want to quote them. Without any judgment. And just follow this advice. Well, or at least try. "Believe in your children, help them, until your very last breath. Listen only to your heart, do not listen to these "experts." If your child wants to sing - give him this opportunity. If he wants to draw - do not force him to study mathematics. If he wants to read poetry - buy him books. If he likes to assemble construction sets, help him to follow this path in the future. But do not break his feeling, his passion. Because this is the only way to grow up a talented person who will later do what he loves and be happy! Right now, more than ever, our children are vulnerable to getting into unpleasant situations or companies on the Internet. Modern children have a clip consciousness, they are completely different. In Soviet times, we only had TV, the street and books. Today, everything is different. Therefore, be extremely attentive to your children - what they are passionate about, and give them the opportunity to do what they really like."
