How old again?

My kids get completely hooked in something for a week or two then completely forget it existed. They watch more tv than I would like, but in 2 years they have used their tablets probably less than 10 times.

Only 2.

Just don’t give him too many choices. My biggest parenting mistake so far has been letting the kids see the “suggested” Youtube menu.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This show is still amazing. But where's Mr. Snuffleupagus?

Also, who is this Abby Cadabby kid?

My son really likes Cookie Monster and Chef Gonger.

Abby Cadabby is a fairy in training that was added 10 or so years ago. She came along right when my son was getting into Sesame Street.

The newest, newest puppet is Julia, the autistic puppet.

After more than two decades on the air, long-running PBS Kids show “Caillou” has been canceled. Reaction so far has been mostly positive to the news as it seems many were not fans.
The series centers on a precocious self-centered boy and his family and has long been targeted by parents with complaints about it turning their kids into whiny brats. [Source: CNN]
