Off Topic Programmes Kids love to watch !.

in generla the women's ads on kids tv just bore them but its the toys that hook mine.

I know when a show is over when my home office is invaded.. oh the washing powder or tampon ads are on and you want to play eh? ffs.

Stick on barbie and its can i have... gimmie gimmie gimme

 

has nobody ever seen masha and the bear.

its eccentric to say the least

Its russian or soemthign and put in english.

This bear lives inthe woods and this russian peasent girl turns up and terrorises him constantly

so they act this out... he hibernates so she jumps up and down on him shouting play with me! result is disasterous to my sleep.

She shouts gimmie gimmie gimmie... now i have to make mine cry to stop saying that and say please.

 

I've noticed that Fireman Sam (becoming one of my boys faves) is not exactly the best for teaching - this little **** called Norman constantly miss-behaves and causes mayhem, starting to link his bad behaviour with it

 

yes my girl was obsessed with norman price as well.

Had to cut that one off a bit.

 

My 4 year old niece does that - think her mum will be very glad to know someone else does it .

 

On the ads topic; anyone noticed they always have adverts advertising things that cost money on the kids websites? You set them on a game and they click on the links because they like they picture or something That's wrong IMO, taking advantage of young minds.

 

its crazy how into some woman playing with playdo and a peppa pig a kid can be. think they get people who sound like teachers at school and such as well.

 

I feel a bit sorry for kids these days, everywhere they go they've got their faces stuck into some screen or other, whether it's the tv, computer, PS, hand held games, mobile phones. A packet of crayons and colouring book, books in general and craft type games aren't 'sophisticated' enough for them. Trying to get youngsters reading, planting seeds or something where they're not transfixed by a moving picture on a screen is really hard. I'm all for advances in technology and getting them computer literate because that's the world we live in now but sometimes it seems they're growing up far too quickly.

 

i know....... reading is my next task....

i have to fool her. she knows damned well the lot but won't admit it. i had to fool her once to admit she could recognize number on the clock.

oh no its not 8 o'clock yet daddy its only 7 and such

i swear its exasperating...

then he just loves counting playing and colouring.

 

The best gift you can give a child - teaching them to read. Next trip to the supermarket, stop at the comics aisle ......... and don't buy one with a free gift, the comic gets tossed

 

not too many good uns.

My lad likes his dinosaur one.

we've tonnes of books and she tries but she makes it up and is too stubborn to admit it so she gets stories read. she is writing a few letters but won't admit she can either. I really don't know why.

I say hi how was your day, what did you do at play school... i don't know.... i ask more .. can't remember.. its a 4 year old teenager.

 

Everything my lads know, they learned in the Dandy and Beano .... good stuff in them comics



Seriously though, any comic will get them reading whether it's so called 'educational' or not.

 

Pokemon for me

 

i read both too....

i wonder if they are easy to lay hands on now..... must be i guess.

 

My grandson loves this:

I've got a loft full of them. They had an idea about papering their bedrooms with them instead of wallpaper but when it came to it, they couldn't bear to tear them apart So it was glow in the dark dinosaur paper instead.

 

How old is your grandson - Simpsons goes over my head

 

i only have victor and commando. I have my dennis the menace fan club badge though.

 

Now 10, but used to love it when he was about 4. Not anymore !.
