The Uncut Gems actress, 32, took to TikTok on Monday, August 22, to share her opinion on child-rearing, which sparked a debate among her followers.

“Hey guys, I’m just coming on here to remind you that childhood, the idea of childhood—the concept of childhood—was only invented in the 18th century,” she said in the one-minute clip. “Prior to that, children were just regarded as little adults.”

“That’s why in a lot of old paintings, children don’t look the same way that we show them today,” Kanye West’s ex explained to her 246,000 followers. “You know, with the like, angelic features and all that stuff. They didn’t do that back then.”

Fox added that she thinks “the idea of childhood was invented” to “get parents to spend a lot of money on s***.”

“It’s not really teaching your kid anything,” she continued. “You just end up kind of raising your kid that’s like helpless and doesn’t know what to do.”

The Italy native, who shares 19-month-old Valentino with ex-husband Peter Artemiev, used her son as an example, noting he “doesn’t care for his toys.”

“He is actually more interested in what I’m doing,” she said, before encouraging listeners to purchase cleaning products for their tots.

“I suggest everyone just buy their kid a little mini mop, a mini broom and start teaching them those life skills really young so that when they enter the real world, they don’t have to outsource for everything and know how to do things for themselves,” she concluded. “I think that’s really important.”

Gone Girl actress Ratajkowski appeared to agree with Fox in a comment on TikTok.

“Yessss to the mini broom,” Ratajkowski, 31, who shares son Sylvester Apollo Bear with husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, commented.

“How do I learn the way you learn?” asked model Amelia Gray Hamlin, daughter of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna.

“I’m a student at Julia Fox University,” someone else chimed in, while a second added, “We love a sociology queen.”

Others, however, weren’t so impressed with her tips.

“Julia Fox says bring back child labor,” a separate commenter shared via Twitter.

“Kids barely know how to spell mop and you want them to learn how to use one?” a different user asked. “Get a grip.”

Fox appeared to be referring to a Montessori education, a style of teaching that develops children’s natural interests as opposed to following a formal curriculum.

When one someone posted, “Yesss Montessori! Kids are way more capable than we give them credit for,” Fox replied, “Yes they can learn anything and they are craving the independence and the tools to do so.”

At the time of publication, the clip has been viewed more than two million times and liked over 341,000 times.

As it turns out, Fox may have a point.

According to Psychology Today, “before the 17th century, children were thought to be merely small adults, possessing the same qualities and natures as grownups,” an article titled, “When Childhood Was Discovered,” reads.

“Children weren’t little darlings or cute cherubs, as we often refer to children today. Rather they were fallen angels, like Lucifer. Consequently, children received little protection, were held fully responsible for their actions, left home, worked and had sex.”

Newsweek reached out to Ratajkowski and Fox’s representatives for additional comment.
