I would make sure you don't give your children free rein over Netflix, or at a minimum make sure you block all of the old Nickelodeon shows. My kids started watching Sam & Cat and OMG that show is AWFUL. I blocked it and all the other Nick shows, they were teaching the children awful lessons.


Yes, I HATE this show. The kids are so rude to adults and each other. I noticed a real difference in my DD's behavior when she was watching it.


SAME. Like a huge change, that's exactly why I blocked it. I feel like the damage has been done and we're working this summer on better manners and kindness before school starts up again because 4th grade is harsh and that attitude is the last thing she needs. I will not tolerate mean girl behavior and "sassiness".


Ugh, I’m sorry for this. Any shows you can recall to block or avoid?


Sam & Cat
iCarly
Drake & Josh
Henry Danger
Victorious
Nicky Dicky Ricky Dawn

My 8 year old loves Sophia the First and Fancy Nancy (watches with her little sis) and any Star Wars show (she watches those with her dad).

Read the book Cinderella Ate My Daughter - it cites so many studies about how girls are affected by media exposure even a little bit. Studies show girls are still lagging behind in STEM despite the focus and my belief is that it has to do with their media consumption.


Can you explain this? Interested to hear more.

My kids also love Just Add Magic, Jessie and the baking competition shows.

They like Young Sheldon after being allowed to watch it at a relative's house, but I also find it inappropriate on a lot of levels. And my kids are 12! Aside from the adult themes, it seems to mock Southerners and religion. I'm neither, fwiw, but it's not something I'd like my kids to learn.

Baking competition shows, Jessie/Bunk’d, dance competition shows and she just loved the ridiculous K-Pop Demon Hunters thing on Netflix.

We watch Inbestigators together and sometimes GBBO. I’ve got to say I was a little surprised at all the lying, cheating, and theft in InBestigators! Every other episode has a schoolmate cheating on a project or ruining a classmate’s work to get ahead, or a friend lying repeatedly.

On vacations (we don’t get it at home) 8 yr old loves SpongeBob. At home, at lot of the ones mentioned, plus Stuck in the Middle, Big City Greens (though I hate it), and Bluey (love it). My older DD loved a show called “meet me in Paris”’at this age, and I think it’s available again
