What my DD watch on TV?

As every toddler, my DD also want to get engaged with something all the time. She is in the age where she is very keen to collect informations from the whatever source she come across. Be it TV, Me, School, Friends or other surroundings.

She always want to be informative. So it is important whatever she gains should be correct and appropriate for her age.

That is why, I always keep an eye on what she is watching and what information she is getting from a TV show?

Following are the channels which my DD watch occasionally:

1) BabyTV

I love this channel. It is very clean, not too informative but has lots of songs, bright colours, no adverts, aimed at babies. The channel is entertaining but not so informative for babies.

My DD love to watch 

Billy Bam Bam

Charlie and Numbers

Draco

2) zeeq

India's first edutainment channel for kids. It is the best destination for kids to learn while having fun, what they claim of, and its really true. 

There are only two ot three programs for toddlers but the quality are really good, clean and very much informative.

I always put ON this channel when my DD is having her meals as she is very fuzzy eater but while watching her favorite TV shows she eats well.

My DD love to watch

Zou

Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood

3) Nick Jr.

This channel has lots of programs to watch. Its programs are informative and help child to remember the things. Like in Dora Series, Dora repeatedly ask, now where we want to go? Please repeat the number with us etc.  and my DD really obeys her and I feel good when she remember the things. Its something like the Memory Game.

The shows she watch

Team Umizoomi

Dora the Explorer

4) Disney Jr

Full on entertainment. Everyone's favorite cartoon shows are here - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Winnie the Pooh etc.
I love this channel and watch shows with her especially Mickey Mouse Clubhouse which is entertaining, colorful and somehow lil bit informative. I am also big fan of Handy Manny but my DD is not much into it. I think she is not in the age to understand Handy Manny show.

I have read many articles which says, TV is not recommended for children under the age of 2. But I personally feel, TV is entertaining  and informative, if watched for limited period and under proper guidance.

TV time should be limited for everyone be it for babies, teens or adults.  That is why, I always keep in mind

• The time limit to watch TV, also applicable for me too.
• Pay attention what she is watching.
• Always encourage her to watch educational shows.
• Avoid violent shows
• Always make sure that TV does not replace outdoor activities, playing with friends, toys and games, homework, family interaction etc.

 My DD learn lots of new words from the TV shows. Although, I always keep an eye on her or watch shows with her. Sometimes, I explain the things to her so that she can understand the story clearly. Now a days, she started asking me lots of questions and started making stories by herself.

So no doubt about it — Sometimes, TV can be an excellent educator and entertainer.
