She's never seen the shows but every time she sees the little icons on Netflix, she asks for them! Idk what it is about them that is so appealing! :(</p> <p>DD usually picks something Disney or princess related if she has a choice, and then I tell her the next time it's her bro's choice, which means I choose something "educational" like Daniel Tiger lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282979 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:35:31 +0000 HLK208 2282979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sponge Bob is a NO in our house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282974 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:33:03 +0000 Finfan 2282974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She can watch any kids' show she wants. Mostly it's Paw Patrol, which is just fine with us. I don't love Caillou but she likes it and has learned a lot actually from it. We only really limit the amount of time she spends watching shows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282802 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:50:44 +0000 dagret 2282802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: haha. I removed Godzilla from the watchlist because he was watching it with big eyes with his fingertips in his mouth. adorable...but he was scared so I'm not a huge fan!</p> <p>So cute that your husband is giving him all his figurines! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282756 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:17:59 +0000 mrbee 2282756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Haha love that you know this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282755 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:17:03 +0000 littlebug 2282755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: She-Ra had her own show. She was He-man's cousin. The female on the actual He-man show was Teela. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282753 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:16:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2282753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has the YouTube kids app on my iPad that he prefers to the netflix and pbs kids app. But I definitely have to monitor that, because while there aren't any bad shows per se (thanks to it being a kids app), some are really creepy or just downright bizarre and I ask him to change the show.</p> <p>I don't let him watch spongebob (which he fought me on for awhile because I found out his old daycare provider used to let him watch it 😡). I can't think of any others off the top of my head that he's tried to watch and I said no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282750 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:15:24 +0000 regberadaisy 2282750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: haha my DH has all the originals in a tote in the basement. They're probably worth a pretty penny! What's the female heroine in He Man? shira or something? Haha I should dress my dd up as that one year.... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282736 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:10:14 +0000 littlebug 2282736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's ridiculous. My husband saved all his He-man action figures and has been giving them to D for Christmas/birthdays, one shoe box at a time. The other night I found myself desperately searching for toddler He-man costumes on ebay because of COURSE he wants to be He-man for Halloween! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282732 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:08:20 +0000 regberadaisy 2282732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: bahaha I feel like that is my husband's dream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282728 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:07:04 +0000 littlebug 2282728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Um, my 2.5yo watches He-man on Amazon Prime. Now every stick he picks up is a sword and gives him "power of the sword!" I can't even tell you how many times he's tried to turn our cat into Battlecat. Thanks, Hubs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282727 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:05:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2282727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to watch Buffy with the kids I babysit,. hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282726 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:05:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2282726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No Caillou, no Toopy &amp; Binoo, no My Little Pony (the old ones are OK, the new ones look weird to me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282723 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:03:34 +0000 Anagram 2282723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well...I only let LO watch 2 shows (they are DVRd) and just one a day unless something catastrophic happens--Daniel Tiger and Bubble Guppies. They are both educational, but we just picked those two because LO is obsessed. And I limit it to those two because I don't need her being obsessed with any more.</p> <p>I never let her look at Youtube because I don't want her discovering the playdough and surprise egg channels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282718 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:01:29 +0000 dagret 2282718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caillou, because he's so whiny. </p> <p>And the other day my 2.5 yr old son was watching this Hanna Barbera Godzilla cartoon from the 70s or early 80s - total fail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282711 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:56:42 +0000 ElbieKay 2282711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't really watch tv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282700 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:52:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2282700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: he whines and whines and whines.

Clueless is an awesome movie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282683 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:46:19 +0000 littlebug 2282683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: I met a 5yo last week who's favorite show was The Walking Dead. I was horrified. </p> <p>@lovehoneybee: Same! We haven't ever watched Caillou but I have no intention of starting because everyone has said he's so awful! </p> <p>The only other show I try to steer him away from is Spongebob because I cannot effing stand that stupid sponge. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282668 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:40:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2282668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: it sticks to their profiles!</p> <p>@Mamaof2: I don't know about the movies but the show on Netflix is horrible. They're all complete ditzes (sp?). Ken is an idiot and airhead. The episodes I saw revolved around the boys doing stupid idiotic things to get Barbies attention. It's like a horrible version of Clueless. Just not appropriate for my 3 year old, imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282654 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:35:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 2282654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: does this stick or do you have to do it every time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282648 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:32:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2282648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: ah ok, the movies are cartoons </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282646 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:31:53 +0000 mrbee 2282646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I think they're different but not sure!</p> <p>The TV show is an animated reality show set in a Malibu dreamhouse:<br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie:_Life_in_the_Dreamhouse" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie:_Life_in_the_Dreamhouse</a></p> <p>I don't remember singing and dancing, but could've missed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282636 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:28:35 +0000 Mamaof2 2282636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: never watched TV shows, just movies - are they different?</p> <p>Barbie and the Secret Door<br /> Barbie a Fairy Secret</p> <p>and we have Barbie - Rockin Royals on preorder :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282629 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:25:37 +0000 mrbee 2282629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Is that the same one as the tv show, Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-shows-you-dont-let-your-kid-watch#post-2282620 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:23:19 +0000 Mamaof2 2282620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: wait - whats wrong with Barbie??

You have to do it on a browser. Under their profile you can change it to "little kids" (12&amp;under) versus "older kids". </p>
