Many parents are likely to have avoided turning on the television in an attempt to provide some childcare or put an end to the never-ending pleas for food. Parents should be kind to themselves. Parents should not feel bad if their children watch a little more TV. Instead, they should focus more on where and what shows kids watch. Platforms like YouTube are great, but their algorithms are made to keep delivering the same content to you. Children are misguided by that. An engaging piece of content will entertain, educate, and reflect the lives of children.

Adventures of Gummi Bears
Adventures of Gummi Bears, another throwback, tells the tale of a youthful hero who helps in the discovery of a lost city of Gummi Bears. Though mild and sweet, this cartoon is not as peaceful as some other options.

Finally, we suggest that you watch these shows with your little ones and see if they are age-appropriate. Some cartoons may be suitable for older kids, so it is best to keep your eye on everything they’re watching.
