Dear netters, Sekedar informasi beberapa show TV yang di rec sama babycenter.com Thx, Mia --> Mama Kay ----------------------------------------------- Recommended Kids' TV Shows Deciding which television programs to let your children watch can be a tough call. You have a lot more than "Sesame Street" and "Barney" to choose from nowadays. And lest we be accused of pushing television on impressionable young minds, a disclaimer: Young (and older) children shouldn't watch too much television (get more specific viewing guidelines). Still, there's little harm in occasionally tuning in to programs that provide a healthy dose of entertainment and education. When looking for appropriate programs for kids under 3, choose those with catchy songs, simple dialog, and colorful visuals. Where to start? Try one of these. The Big Comfy Couch Join Molly the Doll and her clown friend Loonette in this PBS-produced show geared specifically to a pre-K audience. The program is so fast paced that it's occasionally confusing for children. But to its credit, the show does an admirable job of teaching about cooperation, sharing, and caring about others. Rugrats The diaper-clad stars of this series — most notably Tommy Pickles — look at life from a baby's point of view. The very young may miss out on the fine details of the Rugrats' adventures and witticisms (Tommy Pickles: "A baby's got to do what a baby's got to do"), but should appreciate cartoon characters who look and behave like them. This one has parent appeal, too, though you may find yourself having to explain the ironically named Angelica's less-than-cherubic behavior. Wimzie's House PBS has produced another winner with "Wimzie's House," starring 5-year-old Wimzie — who is part bird, part dragon. This preschool show deals especially with self-esteem and the feelings of others from a child's perspective. We get a kick out of the show's non-cliched characters, like Yaya, Wimzie's energetic 150-year-old grandmother; Wimzie's mother, Graziella, who flies an airplanes for a living; and her dad Rouzzo, a firefighter who loves gardening. A PC family, but not annoyingly so. Sesame Street Much of this superb, classic show is too sophisticated for the very young. On the flip side, the program is smart and funny on levels that both adults and children enjoy. And, of course, there are the Muppets. What's not to love? Arthur We endorse this bespectacled aardvark's television program because it's fun, easy to watch, and not too complicated. Plus, the story lines often focus on children's worries and conflicts and how to resolve them. Teletubbies Understandably, many find this show spookily surrealistic and feel uneasy about babylike characters with televisions where their stomachs should be. The show can leave you with the sensation that you've just had a weird, pleasant dream. (And who knows, exactly, why babies and toddlers are so mesmerized?) Its biggest selling point: "Teletubbies" is the easiest of all the kids' shows for very young children to grasp. Mister Rogers' Neighborhood The subtle genius of Fred Rogers is that he knows not to condescend — his slow, friendly manner makes the show easy to watch and calming, especially amid all the rest of the clatter on television. Although some conversations may go over the heads of children under 3, there's plenty for them to learn from and enjoy. Thomas the Tank Engine An endearing character who's a winner on video as well as on television. Verbally, this program may prove a little difficult to follow, but the visuals redeem it for toddlers and younger. Later, you can read your child some of the books in the Thomas series. Barney & Friends So sue us. We're all a little tired of the big purple dinosaur, but the truth is this show does a good job of dealing creatively with cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development, making it prime-time viewing for toddlers.
