Yes, buns for bottom is a no go, maybe I am old school....I insist on proper usage of anatomical parts. Creates respect for one's body.


Let me guess...you don't work?



Wow! So judgemental! How does it matter, dear?

OP here, like all civilized adults, we are entitled to our differences in opinions. Nothing us set in stone.
Not sure, why somebody would think as the original question as a brag, it to look for new shows etc and I learnt a lot today about new shows I will check out for my child.
To the person who wants to know the significance of anatomical terms...I hope you learn something!

We like Ninjago. My 6 year old son likes it, and so do I. Flame away.

Just out of curiosity, how does the use of correct anatomical terms = respect? My kids know the proper terms and use them when necessary, but I also don't see anything wrong with calling certain body parts by a nickname, which my kids also use. There is a time and place for terms of, ER, endearment, no? I mean, does your spouse literally say, "Let me put my penis inside your vagina?"

If everyone else here said that they thought Teen Titans was a great show for 6 year olds, would you let your kid watch it, even though you don't agree?


I'm a PP and actually have found some suggestions worth checking out. I've never heard of the Odd Squad or Magic School Bus. Will check them out and then determine if they're right for my child. Maybe, maybe not, but at least I've got some new shows to explore for her. I didn't take OP's post as a brag at all, fwiw.

My rising first is currently into PowerPuff Girls and LoliRock. She also loved the Amazon original Just Add Magic.

OP here....The point of the post was to look for suggestions/other ideas. Foster a healthy discussion and look at other viewpoints. Also not to assume it's a "she". Nothing here is going to make me change my mind and I will not let my child watch it. If you do not want to contribute and think it's a mute point, please don't comment and save yourself those 15 sec.


And take those 15 seconds and google moot point

Agree.

So, let's say we all posted and said, yes - our 6 year old kids watch TTG? Would you change your stance?

Who CARES what our kids are watching? Pick a show that you like for your child (or don't) and stand with it. All the shows are pretty bad (except for animal planet, don't FUCK with animal planet or I will mess you up....)
