A Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Isaac Newman Arthur, says children of celebrities may not have the built-in mechanism to cope with the public figure pressures of their parents.
He has therefore urged celebrities to shield their children from their social lives.
Dr. Newman who is also a medical doctor, indicated that exposing children to the constant scrutiny and criticism that characterises the social lives of celebrities, especially on social media, could lead to unhealthy exposure to stress and depression.
He asserted that separating their private lives from their public lives as celebrities is necessary to aid the mental development of their children and the sanity of the celebrities.
He added that it is the duty of every parent, regardless of their status, to take good care of their children.
Dr. Arthur further urged celebrities to seek the services of psychologists to help maximise their mental wellbeing and deal with interpersonal relationship issues, careers, crises, and trauma to improve their performance.
