Low Stimulating TV Shows For Kids

I know this is a subject a lot of parents feel guilty about! It's not realistic to say screen time will never be used or needed. Here is why the conversation around screen time is important and some better options for when you do choose to use it.

TV and screen time in general causes overstimulation for babies and kids. The younger the baby the more it changes the brain and causes more overstimulation. 2 years old is the recommended age to introduce screens and for no longer than 30 minutes a day.

There are some shows out there that are LESS stimulating. This is what I look for in screen time for 2 year olds and older:

slow paced

non-interactive

muted color tones

1-2 sounds happening at a time

realistic movements

quality storyline

natural conversation

modeling kindness

sparks play

Low stimulating shows that I recommend for kids:

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

Stinky And Dirty

Trash Truck

Guess How Much I Love You

Bug Diaries

Stella & Sam

Elinor Wonders Why

... Read moreChoosing the right television programs for your children can be challenging, especially with concerns about overstimulation associated with screen time. Parents should consider guidelines that recommend limited screen exposure for young children, ideally not exceeding 30 minutes a day for kids under two years old. Look for shows that prioritize a calm viewing experience. Programs like 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie', 'Stinky and Dirty', and 'Elinor Wonders Why' exemplify traits such as muted color tones, slow pacing, and realistic movements that help maintain a serene atmosphere. The effects of overstimulation on young minds can be profound, impacting their development and attention spans. By prioritizing low-stimulating children's shows, parents can ensure their kids engage positively with media. These recommended shows not only entertain but also promote positive behaviors like kindness and creativity. They encourage natural conversation and imaginative play, helping to create a balanced screen time experience that is both nurturing and beneficial to child development.

🧠👶🏻📺📖 according to the American Academy of Pediatrics babies under 18m should avoid screen time to avoid negative impact to brain development, language skills, and sleep. along with that, overstimulating shows can cause poor attention spans, potential cognitive impairment, and behavioral issues.
