My friends kids watch a ton of pbs and Wild Kratts was pretty cool when I watched it with them, I learned some cool poo poo about manatees and it was inoffensive without being annoying, thats really all I ask And one of the villains has a good Gilbert Gottfried impersonation behind them, that was pretty fhnny

Yeah Wild Kratts was good. One of my kids was fixated on Komodo dragons for a while so we had to find any show that mentioned them. Even showed them the mall scene from The Freshman.

wild kratts definitely had a problem with representation early on but they made it right. they have two women of color who work on board alongside a bumbling stoner white dude and they eventually wrote storylines where Koki and Aviva actually do stuff or have responsibilities. like even from the beginning the pizza-eating goof off Jimmy (that they sometimes refer to as Jay Z lmao) had the important job of driving the drat space ship.

I've only really exposed my son to the PBS kids video app, so he really just bounces between those shows. Hopefully he sticks to that until he's old enough and realizes Paw Patrol is dumb as poo poo. Keeping the breadth of his media consumption pretty low seems to help him self-regulate his tv time.

I told my kid paw patrol is not available here sorry!. We've been playing sneaky sasquatch and we're at the point of the game where I stop the capitalist who is trying to take over the park and now i have to be a loving cop to solve some pollution issue but before i do that i have to be on patrol and pull people over for ticket, gently caress that poo poo. pinkfong's songs are heavy on the copaganda

Oh cool, a parent thread. I know TV chat has dominated the last few pages, what about books? My wife and I have found several books that promote diversity and inclusion, those seem to be fairly common. My favorite "lefty" book to read is Farmer Duck, which is about a farmer exploiting the labor of his duck and the   My son is 4 and still doesn't grasp the the overall point of the story, but just in the last few weeks he's started asking "why?" to everything, and asked why the duck was sad and the farmer was laying around, so we're about to start heading down that path.

Click Clack Moo by Doreen Cronin is in a similar vein. actually so similar i think there was maybe some... inspiration there. The cows unionize against Farmer Brown. Duck handles the negotiations as a neutral party.

social inclusion books are pretty easy to come by but economic/class ones for kids are tough. I don't think I have any in our collection that I can think of. An interesting book to read to kids is "the Stranger". It's a metaphor about changing seasons but the way it's done is really different compared to regular kids books. I guess kinda like jeff bridges in star man. sonatinas has issued a correction as of 20:57 on Apr 23, 2021 |

Yeah on that note i have entirely avoided ACAB type rhetoric around her. I've explained certain things, she went out to a BLM demonstration with me that i knew would be entirely peaceful, etc. But i think the idea that the vast majority of cops are good and want to help is the best thing for a child's psyche.

It definitely depends on if you're white or not. like I tell my kids about the police and what they're supposed to do vs what they actually do but I don't outright tell them "don't trust the cops" (yet) because they're 7 and 4.

Baby is up and wide awake after taking a monster dump lmao, all at 4 a.m. It's not so bad though, she is rarely up like this. im feeling rested and giving her mom a break and the kid seems content to be swinging and messing around with a rattler so I'm watching my youtube playlist for times like this (which is a sad thing because im on the next video which is a Flyers-Rangers playoff game from 97 and makes me miss when Philly was good) I try to avoid having her in front of screens but man it sure makes me happy that she is mesmerized by hockey when it's on  Probably easy to see with the bright colors against a white background too

Screens are a part of our world that kids will have to adapt to, including adapting to resisting device addiction. I don't really feel like keeping my kid from seeing screens will help prepare her in any way to interact with the world. I also don't feel like I should keep her from other pernicious devices that have previously been railed against, such as radio or chalkboards. Thus far she seems to have healthy limits for using her devices. She always puts down her tablet on her own after like 20 minutes tops, and goes to do something else. I have actually started to slide the opposite direction on the spectrum (heh), and kinda feel like unilateral screen bans border on abusive. Like intentionally not teaching your kid how to read sorta thing.

I've been thinking about that problem and figured that the best thing to do is lead by example. Limit our own screen time, and do as much non-digital stuff as possible.

Yeah honestly, at some point last year we started letting our 5yo play a bunch of animal crossing and it let them express a huge amount of creativity, and also once reading in kindergarten started it provided a really cool place to practice reading. The goal is to avoid lots of non-interactive screen time, really. Hit or miss with that one for us.

Limit our own screen time, and do as much non-digital stuff as possible. yeah. it’s not fair to ask a little kid to abstain from screens if you’re spending hours per day on phones, TV, etc., in front of them. realizing _why_ your phone is such a power object to your kid can be a bit of a wake up call. we’ve tried to keep to the AAP “no screens beside video chat before 18m” guideline. post-18m, the occasional attended YouTube tractor video is okay (kid loves tractors, idk), but he’s not given free reign over anything. my background in hci makes me deeply uncomfortable with google getting its hooks into my kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqnF2zSQ02U

I would never judge a parent for using a screen because let's face it everyone is just hanging on by a thread right now. Although I think I am cursed since it's really crappy out today and I am feeling pretty run down from working out/having a single beer last night with dinner and figured today would be a good movie day but neither child wanted that so I am currently lying on the floor while both kids are running around like banshees and the Magic School bus plays on the tv.
