I don't have a kid, but I have seen many kids addicted to cartoons. My neighbour's kid will eat only when his mother allows him to watch cartoon. Many kids are addicted to Disney channel and Pogo. When I was a kid, Mougli, Shrek, and Aladin were my heros, but my parents never allowed me to watch cartoon channels in excess and get addicted to it. Is it happening now?

Does your kid like cartoon channels? What are his/her favorite cartoon programs?
Is your kid addicted to cartoons?
Do you take any measures so that your kid won't get addicted to cartoons.

Hi there my daughter was only 1 year and 8 months now. She always watch Dora the Explorer in Nick Jr Channel and i bought her cd's as well. She also enjoying watching Barney and Friends. I think theres no wrong for her to watch that kind of program i am happy because she was learning new words everyday because of the programs she watch. Maybe i will always at her side watch the programs she watch and see to it she learn from that program.

Till here, hope i can make sense here
and happy mylotting.

Hi Kmaram! Thanks for the response. I forgot to tell a avaluable piont, but that is told by you. Yes, we should not close our eyes on the fact that kids are learning a lot of new words by watching cartoons. Cartoons having moral stories also help them to know more about good qualities and build them in their life. Thanks again.

My boys love cartoons too, I let them watch playhouse disney since it is educational compared to the other cartoon channels. I always remind them that they are not allowed to watch cartoon until they have finished their assignments first. Good thing my boys are quite active so they would rather run around the house than sit in of the television all day. hehehelol


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2745)   ranked 297 out of 14,888 in parenting  5 months ago

That is good. Usually I have seen boys are more active compared to girl babaies and they are interested to play outdoor games than sitting infront of TV. It is good for them to watch cartoons, not in excess. Cartoons provide a lot of information and good ones help to develop good qualities in children. Thanks for the response.

I think that is a stage they are passing through for many kids of this time. I do remember when I was young too that I did pass through an age that I was also addicted watching all kinds of cartoons. But then, there was a time that I also lost my taste towards it when i reach adult age. Now, I still am watching cartoons from time to time but not like it was before. I think we cannot do anything about it but regulating them would not be bad at all for them to balance their addiction to it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2745)   ranked 297 out of 14,888 in parenting  5 months ago

You have a valubale point. The taste for cartoons change with respect to your age. Kids are mainly fond of cartoons and I was also kind of addicted to cartoons when I was a kid. But, my parents restricted because they didn't want my eyes to get spoiled by always looking at the TV. They also wanted me to participate in outdoor games and learn swimming, and read books. Thanks for the response.


myLot reputation of 88/100. rsa101 (7316)   ranked 654 out of 14,888 in parenting  5 months ago

I think moderating them from watching it is a good way to divert their attention to some other things too.

My kids love Playhouse Disney. I have no problem with this, except they are starting to pronounce some words with American accents!


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2745)   ranked 297 out of 14,888 in parenting  5 months ago

You are right, we cannot turn our face towards the eduction the cartoons offer. They also help, I mean some of the good cartoons help them to develop good qualities such as love to parents, kindness, sympathy, responsibility etc. The only issue is too much of anything is not good, same way too much addiction will create problems. Thanks for the response.

Hello daliaj this is checkmail and me too don't have any childrens, but have my niece and nephew who are quiet a lot addicted to cartoons.Even I was addicted to cartoon when was a child, mostly skip nearly everything for cartoons.Now just watch in order to play my niece and nephew, teaching them as well as enjoyig myself.They really do ask silly questions about it, and me too answer it in some silly way.Well I have to try too hard to convince them that the cartoon hour is over, same was with me in childhood.Well the cartoons are a good way of fun entertaintment which even children and adults enjoy, but if watched crazily then its addiction.
GoodLuck.

Yes, my 2 kids are addicted to cartoons. They watch almost all the shows on Cartoon Network. I limit their TV time and with the limited time available to them they spend it on watching cartoons. Among their favorites are Tom and Jerry, Ben 10, Spiderman (animated) and Justice League(animated).


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2745)   ranked 297 out of 14,888 in parenting  5 months ago

It is nice to hear that you are able to limit the time of your kids watching cartoons. That is good. Spiderman and Tom and Jerry were my favorites too when I was a kid. It depends on the age. Now, my hero is my husband. Lol. We cannot resisit children completely from watching cartoons because cartoons also provides a lot of learning aspects. Thanks for the response.
