In today’s episode, we chat with Cheryl Gotthelf, educator by trade and TV child development consultant. Cheryl shares her years of experience in terms of deciding whether a show is developmentally appropriate for a child. We discuss the criteria television channels evaluate to decide what age category to place a show. Take out your Curious Neuron notebooks because Cheryl gives us a list of questions to ask before deciding on a show to present to the children.
We take some time to chat about screen time and positive/negative effects of spending time in front of a screen. We touch on the importance of balancing a busy schedule and trusting yourself as a parent. Most importantly, we speak about the amazing new Knowledge Kids television show “Luna, Chip & Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go”.
Lastly, we discuss commercials and the appearance of fearful stimuli – are they bad for our kids?
