In all honesty, I think that most of the cartoons and shows that come out these days are not really great for our kids to be watching. When I grew up I used to love shows like Babar – shows that actually were wholesome and good and could still be enjoyed as an adult. These days it’s all mind rot!

There will always be reactions pro and anti kids’ shows, and Peppa is no exception. I have some sympathies with the comments re her bossy sometimes rude nature. I guess what I’d say is perhaps this reflects real life – sometimes people are rude and I dont think anyone is suggesting these characters as role models. Personally I think Bluey is fabulous, but there are parents who dont like it. Horses for courses?! It’d be boring if we all liked the same shows, the same music, books, etc. Variety is meant to be the spice of life.

When I first read this I was so shocked, Peppa Pig is not that bad, it is quite harmless compared to some other kids shows out there. It’s a kids show, why are we worrying about something like this. Isn’t there more harmful shows out there that are worth discussing over this show.

I can understand parents frustration, however I never had any issues with my kids watching it. I do wonder how much parenting the parents are doing and how much baby sitting the TV is doing for it to impact that much.
Whenever my kids come up with something which isn’t really accepted in our house I’ll pull them up stratify away and ask where they heard or learnt it from them just remind them that’s not how it goes in our house.
There are so many extremal influences in our children’s behaviour I don’t think one show can be held solely responsible.
We grew up watching loony tunes and don’t go adobe blowing each other up

Omg! I can’t believe people are talking about banning a kids show because Peppa is bossy and talks back to her parents!! The cancellers Fat Cat and Humphrey the bear because they wore no pants and they banned Noddy and Big Ears because some moron decided they were having a homosexual relationship. I find the people that complain the most are guilty of doing the same thing as what they’re carrying on about! What’s next! Banning Mickey Mouse or Tom and Jerry because they’re violent? C’mon! Just stop with all this ridiculous nonsense!!

Peppa pig has been a solid no since I had kids, not only is it just plain whiny and annoying but it is so beyond rude and entitled the way she speaks to her parents is just disgusting. I can’t believe anyone let’s there kids watch that show

It’s not surprising that lots of parents don’t like it, I absolutely loathe the show. Something about the manner which they talk, the tone. It’s not something I’ll encourage my toddler to watch. The pregnancy announcement that I’ve seen going around social media for Peppa Pig’s mum is a little different, too.

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.
