This kids show is on Nick Jr. my 6month old daughter loves watching this show. The two people in the show are in a Indie band. This show is one of the best shows for kids.My boyfriend and i will watch this show with her. It is a great kids show and trust me you will like it to.
i love this show. my two kids are just mesmerized with the colors and my 2 yr old interacts with the show as well. the one reason i loce this show is for the simple fact that it has a1980's feel to it. with the pixalated video game and the funky clothes that the kids are wearing PLUS it is helping the kids learn about music and how to make lots of it. this is the one of the greatest shows ever. who would of though biz markie would have made a childrens show.
You just took the words from the tips of my fingers! We are conditioned at a young age to watch and respond to TV. My family is completely controled by tv and it sickens me. I promised myself to put strong limitations on what my future child will watch. There are objects/colors that are on children's shows that triggers the movement of thousands of neurons throughout the brain that promotes addiction because the feeling is very desirable.
I have to admit, I'm a bit scared too. Even more-so, if this is a program like Boo-Bah that was DESIGNED for babies to be watching it! AAP recommends NO screen-time for children under two years old. And yeah, I broke that rule too. My kiddies were on my lap while I watched DVDs or the occasional show myself. But regularly sitting them down to watch TV at that age... just might not be the healthiest idea. love, mom
I haven't heard of that show here, but my daughter loves this one called 4 square. It drives me up the wall most of the time, lol. It consists of 4 segments. One is 4 women singing along with 4 little muppet type characters. Lea Lea loves to sing along with it. Then it will go to a memorization segment, where they practice reciting poems and memorizing them. Another is 4 people making really bizzar noises, but they mix them all up in a percussion style. And the other is an exercise segment, but they use unique movements insead of the boring old ones we learned in gym class is school lol.
If the show is teaching something i dont see how it is bad for the child. Yo Gabba Gabba teaches you about music and art. It also has lessons on other things. they count in the show they teach you how to draw there is a ton of dancing.
While "The Age of Chivalry" by Thomas Bulfinch is a highly educational book, I will not be reading it to my 7 year old. Why? Because she isn't old enough to get anything out of it yet, and there are things in there that she isn't ready to learn about yet. It's the same with television. There's nothing WRONG with a little educational television here & there. But children under 2 aren't READY for it yet - their brains just aren't ready to handle the stimulus. love, mom
Good points, HSM, bumble, and drumminmama. It's stuff like this that makes me glad I've been off TV for so long now. Don't own one, haven't in 5 years at least, and don't want to have one ever again. We DO have computers, and will occasionally watch dvd's and stuff on them, but whenever children/babies come into our lives we'll further limit that, also. It's like what's said above me - they can't handle the stimuli. They are just mesmerized by the sound and color. In addition, while dolls, blocks, balls, etc. encourage kids to actively entertain themselves and help develop hand-eye coordination and higher brain function, TV/video just trains them to sit and slack and BE entertained.
everybody raises their kids different. i believe that it is ok for a baby to watch stuff like Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street. See when we watch Yo Gabba Gabba with our daughter we hold her up so that she is standing with us holding her and we dance with her so its giving not only us a workout but it is giving her some time up on her legs. She is a very good baby,she loves it when we have Yo Gabba Gabba on and we dance and play with her.
:rockon: Yo gabba gabba is great for kids... NO tv should not be used as a babysitter but if the child likes watching tv there is nothing wrong with that... if a child didnt find tv fascinating they would not watch it... by dancing w/ your daughter and interacting w/ her while watching yo gabba that just makes it that much better! yo gabba gabba is one of the best new shows for young children i have seen! as well as the wonder pets rescue the Beatles grrrreat episode!!! The thing about yo gabba is its message ... music, art w/ all kinds of nicce colors! picking up, trying new foods the list goes on! yo gabba gabba :baby:babies/toddlers and young kids = goood times!!:hurray:
Hey guys~ she's only 17 herself........hmmmmmm... Ya'll did a great job of bringing up good points though and trying to educate her on a VERY serious matter in today's society~ but like I said she's ONLY 17 PBS shows like Sesame street etc. are made for TODDLERS, definitely not 6 month olds
all you guys don't have to be right on target at the age 2.22 my daughter watched this but my daughter talked then and my daughter did this. Different opinions styles if you don't like don't respond!! Encourage the young to become wiser!! not critisize Both my daughters are opposites one reads 1000 pages books while the other reads 100 page books. one can watch tv all day if i allowed her (which i won't) the other 30 minutes at most. IF its educational why not allow the child to watch tv its done at school. counting singing memorizing math substraction adding. Don't knock it.
Written by a pediatrician..a few reasons for example, I'm not criticizing, just upset she didn't respond positively to good advise. A great deal of research has been done on the effects of television on children's lives. The first step in making the decision is to get the facts. Because nearly all of us have one or more TV sets in our home, and since most of us watch some TV nearly every day, we may not want to hear what research tells us, but these are things parents need to know. • Experts suspect that babies younger than two years old view TV as a confusing array of colors, images, and noises. They don't understand much of the content. Since the average TV scene lasts five to eight seconds, your baby or toddler doesn't have enough time to digest what's happening. • Cartoons and many children's shows are filled with images of violence. If you find this hard to believe, surf the TV on Saturday morning. The realism portrayed in today's cartoons has moved light years beyond the Bugs Bunny type of violence. Many children's shows almost are animated versions of adult action films. Research shows that exposure to this type of programming increases the risk of aggressive behavior and desensitizes children to violence. • Babies and toddlers have a very literal view of the world. They can't yet tell the difference between real and pretend, and they interpret what they see on TV as true life. Research has demonstrated that many young children believe that TV characters actually live inside the TV set. This can confuse young children's understanding of the world and get in the way of their learning what's right or wrong. It can paint a picture of a frightening, unstable, and bewildering world ⎯ and your little one does not yet have the faculties to put what he sees into proper perspective. • Television watching can be addictive. The more that children watch, the more they want to watch. Even toddlers can become drawn to the set. Once addicted, turning off the TV can become a daily battle. Children who watch TV excessively often become passive and lose their natural creativity; they eventually have a hard time keeping themselves busy, and they lose valuable time that should be dedicated to "play" ⎯ the foundation of a healthy childhood and the primary way that very young children learn. • Parents sometimes unwittingly begin to use TV more and more as a way to keep their children happy and quiet. It takes a strong will and dedication to avoid the easy route provided by this free and easy ⎯ yet sometimes dangerous ⎯ babysitter. • Children experience unparalleled physical, mental, and emotional growth in the early years of life. Time spent watching television is time taken away from more healthful activities that nurture growth and development. • Children who watch a lot of television during their early years are at risk for childhood obesity, poor social development, and aggressive behavior. They often have trouble adjusting to preschool or kindergarten. According to a study by Yale Family Television Research, teachers characterized children who watched excessive television as less cooperative, less imaginative, less enthusiastic about learning, and less happy than those who watched little or no TV.
