I didn’t know you could do this on Netflix! We’ve blocked things on (*whispers*) YouTube, then the boys have found it round their grandparents and we’ve been rumbled too!
Although we had Tom & Jerry and shows like that when we were younger I’m sure the speed was slower, if not the violence, and it wasn’t an endless loop on demand so we had no choice but to stop after “enough”.
It definitely feels more sinister now. I feel like when we were kids it was violence maybe too many sex reference or rude words - now it’s seemingly innocent stuff that sucks their attention away from childhood. Atleast back then the cartoon would eventually turn off, like you say now it can be endlessly played on demand. And let’s be honest, kids shouldn’t be in charge of what they watch…
I always think if she is kicking off about the TV going off then it's a bad show. We've only had that with Coco Melon, which I banned. She's REALLY into Peppa at the moment but I don't think it's that bad in moderation... Nothing like these shows with the super fast moving scenes like you say! Every kid is different but I think it's totally fine to ban some things, limit others and allow others easier (Cbeebies is absolutely fine by me, Peppa and Daniel Tiger are limited but fine and no CocoMelon or Bebe Finn etc!)
Yes there is something about cocomelon they kind of go into a trance. It worried me that this show was on bbc iplayer - as I trusted them to not show such fast moving mind taking nonsense but it is possible it’s on cbbc rather than cbeebies. Good to hear it’s not just us banning - and thinking about it this isn’t the first time! Youtube has been banned for sometime, although how long it will take for my son to work it on the telly I am not sure… (we told him it doesn’t work - full stop) 😂
Oh I can so sympathise with this! I can’t stand Gabby’s Dollhouse or Masha and the Bear - and she’s been banned from CocoMelon since birth. You’re right - it’s designed to keep them watching 😭 do they like Creature Cases? I find it’s fast-moving but actually educational, I enjoy it! It’s on Netflix x
Oh good shout! I have seen it about but we’ve not tried it yet. If I can sneak some sort of story or education there I am winning. Cocomelon is hell! It’s actually a revelation to me that you can ban things on netflix at all- if only they weren’t so smart 😂
