Linda Geddes explores the research on kids\u2019 TV, what it\u2019s teaching us about childhood development, and how that can help make programmes for the better.<\/h4>\n<aside class=\"article__aside\">\n<div class=\"article__aside__section article__share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--text\">\n<p>Most people have a favourite TV show from childhood. If you\u2019re a parent, there\u2019s also probably a show that your children adored but you found strange, or even a bit creepy. Right now, for many parents, that show is\u00a0<em>Moon and Me<\/em>. It follows the night-time exploits of a mismatched set of dolls \u2013 including Pepi Nana, a soft pink onion called Mr Onion, and the milky, clown-like Colly Wobble \u2013 who come to life whenever the Moon shines.<\/p>\n<p>My 1.5-year-old nephew doesn\u2019t share this scepticism. As the episode we\u2019re watching unfolds, he moves closer and closer to the screen, smiling, cooing, pointing and saying \u201cWow\u201d. My eight-year-old daughter stares in slack-jawed wonder at it all.<\/p>\n<p>What is it about these pre-school TV shows that makes them so captivating for young viewers, but so strange to adult eyes? As a mother, I\u2019ve worried whether watching television at a young age is a healthy childhood experience or a mind-rotting activity stunting my children\u2019s development. The fact that I don\u2019t understand these shows hasn\u2019t helped.<\/p>\n<p>But weirdness, it turns out, can be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Young children\u2019s minds process information differently from adults\u2019; what\u2019s weird for us is often highly engaging for them. A better understanding of these differences could help create healthier, more engaging television programmes, boosting children\u2019s understanding of the world as well as keeping them entertained. And it could also help parents and caregivers like me to make better decisions about the type of television we let our children watch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--text\">\n<p><em>Moon and Me<\/em>, it turns out, is a product of research, informed by a collaboration between the co-creator of the hit show\u00a0<em>Teletubbies<\/em> \u2013 Andrew Davenport \u2013 and Dylan Yamada-Rice, a researcher specialising in children\u2019s education and storytelling, to study how children interact with toy houses&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Common Sense Media\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonsensemedia.org\/tv-lists\">recommended TV shows\u00a0<\/a>for kids.<\/li>\n<li>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nber.org\/papers\/w21229.pdf\">\u00a0impact of\u00a0<em>Sesame Street<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>on children\u2019s readiness for school [PDF]<\/li>\n<li>How\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.faculty.virginia.edu\/ASLillard\/PDFs\/LillardLiEF.pdf\">television affects children\u2019s executive function<\/a>\u00a0[PDF].<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinelabresearch.com\/screen-time-and-child-development\">Tim Smith\u2019s website<\/a>, with links to his research on screen time and young children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/this-is-why-childrens-tv-is-so-weird-and-so-mesmerising-zdsnedsij?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8379,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Intuitive online diagram maker -
