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.

Banned:

  • 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.
