Thank you for starting this thread, I'm kinda surprised PHIZ KALIFA didn't start it first based on his posts in the A/T Parenting thread. I've been listening to the Parents Just Don't Understand podcast lately, which reviews children's media from a leftish perspective. It's been useful for helping me justify putting my foot down with bootlicky stuff like Paw Patrol and pointing me towards stuff like True and DC Superhero Girls for my 2 year old daughter, who I am planning to train as an antifa supersoldier.

silvergoose posted:Oh yeah surprisingly Amazon prime has good original content. Stinky and dirty, tumble leaf, creative galaxy. I haven't looked around Prime much, mostly Netflix, D+, and whatever I can find on my Plex shares. But I'd love to join in some discussion here on kids shows and movies. The DC Superhero Girls show has been great because it's lively enough to engage my 2 year old daughter's attention regularly, so hopefully by the time she is actually following characters and narratives she can start picking up on some from this show, which portrays women in a real, empowered light, while all the male characters tend to be fuckups who need the help of the girls. It also has kind of a Clone High vibe, since it's all DC characters but placed into a highschool setting. On the flip side, Boss Baby is absolute succ garbage. I'm pretty sure kids raised on the movie and show will turn into Proud Boys and tradwives. I can't wait to get her into Steven Universe and Gravity Falls. Maybe even Doctor Who, if I can ever get her interested in live action stuff. Also, when is a good time to start teaching her the foundational philosophical concepts of Marxism-Leninism? Is there a Communist Manifesto board book out there? I've already got the graphic novel version of A People's History for when she's old enough to grok it.

That poo poo makes my blood boil. I caught an ad for some flu medication that portrayed a teacher toughing out her flu symptoms and I started yelling at the TV to ask the void why that idiot was exposing her students to the loving flu in the first place. gently caress America, gently caress pharmaceutical ads, just gently caress all of this.

silvergoose posted:I feel this pretty hard. I gotta be really careful because several people are relying on me directly for literally everything. More importantly, how do I impress upon my kid that activism and protesting are important while at the same time eschewing the more radical aspects because I gotta make that bread for her? I'd love for her to see her father always fighting for the right things, but actually doing so feels like it puts her at risk. So I guess I need to find a workable middle ground. Perhaps just limit myself to behind the scenes support roles, and going to DSA meetings and such. But that feels like it could turn into more of a timesink than I'd like, and take me away from spending time with my daughter.

Hey thread, come back! Anyone know any early homeschool resources for lefty parents? I feel like most homeschool stuff is heavily, *heavily* salted with bullshit from right wing evangelicals, so its not easy to know where to start her off that wont wind up in "...and that's why the poor deserve to suffer!" land. My kid is 2.5 and precocious as all hell and I definitely wanna direct that energy towards good rather than evil, and the way things are shaping up we probably won't bother with any sort of physical schooling. Even if the US doesn't have a civil war, and if the pandemic passes once there's a vaccine, our schools will probably still just turn back into shooting ranges.

Welp guess I'll be homeschooling my kid for the next few years. That's horrifying. But seriously, I need leftist homeschool materials for Pre-K, or at least materials that aren't riddled with religious bullshit (liberation theology might be okay). Between the virus and the inevitable return of mass shootings and DeVos just chainsaw-loving the curriculum, I feel like it's insane to send a child to school. It's like sending them to loving Hogwarts now. Organic Lube User has issued a correction as of 04:00 on Oct 28, 2020 |

I have no problem with youtube per se, but I hate the algorithm and my wife makes me feel like I'm Stalin Incarnate any time I move to change the video when the kid taps on something insipid. Like those two little russian brats that act utterly insane. I hate them so much. Blippi is fine, at least he teaches stuff.

pancake rabbit posted:to get million dollar checks from youtube if i had to field a guess Yeah that part's no weirder than Mr. Rogers being childless and hanging out with kids and in kids' places. And yeah he did some gross out humor back in his early days. It's dumb and bad but you know what? My kid really liked when he would excitedly say aloud all of the colors of the steps at the fun zone, and I appreciate that. He doesn't do that stuff any more and has said he regrets it, so until I hear something more about him he's fine in my book. The asspooper can stay, but can we launch this Ryan kid into the sun?

I guess we've lucked out, we don't regulate the kids screen time, she does it herself. She will spend like 20 minutes on her tablet, then put it down and find some toys to play with. Also I'm gonna have a real hard time being mad if my kid flips off a teacher. I'm gonna laugh my rear end off for sure.

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.

Someone gave my child a Christmas edition Big Mouth Billy Bass we found while we were cleaning out the garage and oh boy let me tell you, I will take any aforementioned terrible YouTube channel 24x7 straight to my brain than listen to one second of this demonic artifact. My only hope is to encourage the child to play with it so roughly that it breaks. I'm pretty sure the design and construction of this device came from an ancient tome of unspeakable evil. No toy or video to date has managed to produce such a visceral reaction in me. Join me in my pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5MShp3FUv8

I forbid the Paw Patrol cartoons but family keeps giving her the toys and I'm not a monster enough to take a toy away from her once she has it if it's not directly dangerous (obligatory "trusting the cops is suicide"), but I make sure she knows that Chase is a very bad doggie who is mean to the good and useful doggies like Rubble and Rocky. If Paw Patrol excluded the pigdog, I'd probably be fine with it, since firefighting and recycling and rescue operations are all good and fine things. In most situations in the show, Chase seems to only be useful at bossing everyone else around while taking the credit.

I'm not the kinda rear end in a top hat to take a toy away from my kid but I can drat sure encourage rough play and teach her to treat Chase as the villain. Oh oops you didn't pick up your chase toy from the yard before daddy mowed oh dear oh me oh my.

What's the proper response when your 3 year old is playing on the playground and another kid comes up to her and tells her "You don't need that mask, covid isn't real"? I wasn't sure how to get out of that one without starting a fistfight in front of my kid with the other kid's parents, so we just had to leave.

Tzen posted:lol on my first child we had the frida and some other bulb type suckers and none of them worked a drat. I became the disgusting parent that covers their kids mouth and sucks their nostrils out with my own mouth. Within a second everything is out and I just spit it out into a tissue. That became the norm and we didn't bother with bulbs/suckers for our second child. gently caress typing it out makes me realize how gross it is. Whatever it's effective. I will change the grossest, most rancid, dripping diapers while whistling, but this made me gurge in my mouth a little.

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:yesterday my kids were wrapped in a blanket watching tv with each other and my older one says to his brother "brother, I love you" out of nowhere and it's so striking how affectionate they are with each other compared to my siblings growing up. Well our generation also doesn't need commercials every night at 9pm to remind us to check and make sure we know where our kids are, and to not hit our kids. Unlike those who raised us. Millennial households seem way more attentive and caring.
