Jessica Iskandar said that she has principles in educating children. For him, there are several small things that are quite important to teach children from an early age.

"Please, thank you, sorry (sorry), it's really important for me to be taught. I want El to be able to appreciate it, can apologize if he is wrong, ask for help if he needs help, of course politely," said Jessica Iskandar in Tendean, South Jakarta on Tuesday, July 25.

Another thing that is also important for Jessica Iskandar, she wants her child to be polite in front of an older person, even though he is angry.

'Respect with an older person, I always teach that. Like for example he doesn't want to be photographed, he doesn't want to be pinched, at first he screamed, then I told him to say 'Sorry, don't pinch me', that's it, or just avoid it,' said the artist who is usually called Jedar.

Regarding video content showing El Barack eating roadside snacks, Jedar said the content was normal. He said that his son really likes to eat roadside snacks.

If the snacks have actually been around for a long time. He's very happy with snacks. I don't want us to be different from snacks or just snacks in certain places. I want us to be able to eat anywhere if it's good and clean. Because I'm also very fond of snacks from a young age," said Jessica Iskandar.

"I want him to understand snacks, I don't want him to not recognize his country's identity, meaning that in Indonesia there are many snacks, many names are new and unique, so I invite him to eat cilok, rolled eggs, Lekker, round tofu, stupid, everything like that," he continued.

Furthermore, Jedar also talked about how El Barack is currently starting to enjoy creating video content. Although at first it was difficult to invite content, now many ideas have emerged from the son.

"At first I was busy making videos. Then, now sometimes when he makes content, he even offers himself. For example, searching, he said, 'This is funny ma, make this content. Make me and papa'," said Jessica Iskandar.
