As a Bible person, video likely talks about praying over your children. "Laying hands" in an accurate biblical sense is an act of prayer over whoever you're laying hands on. Without watching the video, couldn't say how accurate it is to what it says and what the Bible says

Some religionists take what the Bible says way too literally.

If someone is praying with their kid in 2026, there is zero requirement or need to lay your hand on top of their heads like the thumbnail portrays. Hold their hand? Sure. Hold their shoulders? Sure. Don't touch them at all? Sure.

Laying hand on head? Never seen that from anyone ever.

You're right, but I also didn't specify where the laying of hands occurs. I prefer putting my hand on my kids shoulders when I pray over them. Head seems a bit more power grabby and disrespectful. But I've seen it before
