Banned shows and approved shows (for young children)
Also, why?
Banned shows:
Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven't watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn't watch it (though, I can could be convinced I'm wrong, if I am)
Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don't try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.
Approved:
Sesame Street
Bluey
Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.
Caillou -- whiny child and permissive parents; teaches nothing
Peppa Pig -- same
Approved:
Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood -- I have yet to meet a show that covers social and emotional topics for toddlers better than the Mr. Roger's franchise and this is its latest iteration. There's a Daniel Tiger for every situation and one can learn to be a better parent simply by watching how Daddy Tiger or Mommy Tiger respond to situations. The songs still carry important emotional regulation messages that adults can use.
