Communication is essential with children. Sitting and watching these shows with your children is so important, and pointing out the wrong things that need addressing. If we teach our children correct behaviour, they will grow up with these morals. Kids are lacking morals and respect.

I agree totally , we as parents don’t want kids to be modelling that kind of behaviour – even we stopped Peppa fairly soon.

They banned Fat Cat because he didn’t wear pants. What ever happened to Sesame Street and Play School? Must admit I’ve never watched Bluey or Peppa Pig but I’ve heard a lot of negative things about them.

I don’t like my toddler watching it cause when he mimics the snorting noise it drives me mental! Can’t say I’ve ever paid attention to an episode to know enough to have an opinion of influence but the snorting alone does it for me.

There are some seriously terrible kids show out there this one included also not a fan of Bluey sorry

It’s about time parents spoke and taught their children how to behave and point out what Peppa Pig is doing wrong – that way a valuable lesson will be learned. No-one should let the television be the parent and teacher of their children.

And to think it used to be the 3 stooges poking eyes and hitting and slapping each other nonstop .
Same story years later what is in the pipeline for the future.
I know put blindfolds and block ears and nothing will affect them

It’s sad blaming TV shows on kids behaviour. Teaching your kid what is reality and how to behave is a parents job. If we’ve been watching a show with bad behaviour we always discuss how silly that show was and that’s not how we behave in real life.

Blaming bad behaviour of kids on a tv program is a bit sad. You could use it as a teaching moment and talk about a better choice of behaviour.
Factors such as family dynamics, parenting styles, peer relationships, and cultural influences all contribute to a child’s behaviour, and recognising these factors is extremely helpful for parents to be able to respond to their child’s needs and support their well-being. Genetics , gestation and birth are of impact of kids behaviour too.

  Beautifully commented on Ellen. Agree with your wise words of wisdom.

I can see what theyre talking about having watched a few myself

I’ve never liked Peppa pig. Thankfully none of kids really have either..

parents are only realising this now its been from the start

Lucky our boys are obsessed with Bluey as we can all enjoy it together!

This is old news , variations on this one re Peppa Pig have been doing the rounds for years. It’s not my favourite, but I dont use it as a parenting tool either! While I agree with the sentiment, it does reflect an aspect of toddler-young kid life, and you dont often see her pulled up on her less pleasant behaviour. When Bluey behaves badly she is called out on it.
Ultimately, these kids shows reflect behaviour, but they dont recommend it. It’s a bit up to you as a parent /grandparent/uncle / guardian etc to say, ‘wow, she’s a bit mean, isnt she?’ ….telly’s not just a baby sitter.

Wow! Peppa’s been cancelled. Bluey anyone??!!

I couldn’t have agreed more! I have always said it and will still say it today, from the first time Peppa Pig appeared on our TV, I never liked it at all. Yes, it shows sometimes morals, etc but find Peppa is a rude character. My oldest son was never a fan but my youngest, has gone through a phase of watching it. And it makes my blood boil. All the bossy comments, bullying, being so competitive – Thats one thing we don’t teach in our home is competitiveness. Its always “do your best”. I never see real educational things out of this show. It has taught my child to snort disgustingly and mimic George’s voice, sulking like him… meanwhile we are doing speech therapy so it set him back a bit. I was surprised until today, that a show like this was still acceptable.

I have never allowed my kids to watch it. I find Peppa Pig, along with most cartoons these days, obnoxious and silly mind rot. In fact, many experts actually recommend not allowing young children screen time, so I don’t know why we’re encouraging it as a society.

Historically various programs and shows have been deemed ‘inappropriate’ by some people. It occurred when I was a child and I did not turn into any of the things claimed by watching the show. Parents are the biggest influences in a child’s life.

We are so precious over so much nowadays. Good or bad behaviour they will still learn from it if it is discussed with them. It’s a kids show and believe it or not they will come across not so perfect kids out in the real world too.

I’m not a huge fan of Peppa Pig, but I am even less of a fan of Kyle Sandilands. He doesn’t seem like a pleasant human.
