Media on toddlers and children?

Question

hello everyone, today i was assigned a assignment on what effects the "media" has on children, preferably toddlers. I have to watch a cartoon, and write info about it, but i dont know which cartoon will help me with this? please help thank you!

Answer 1

Find some violent cartoon like TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and talk about how violence is increased in toddlers because of cartoons like that.  There's a lot of studies out about that right now!

Answer 2

For the toddler age group I say Dora or backyardigans..or even barney

Answer 3

If you want to focus on the toddler age group, I suggest Blue's Clues or Dora the Explorer.

Answer 4

Interesting.  Check out this research piece on your topic specifically. http://www.zerotothree.org/site/DocServe...

I would recommend a program designed for toddlers, such as Dora the Explorer or Blues Clues. These are considered interactive as they ask the children direct questions.  Sesame Street & Arthur are designed for preschoolers. Teletubbies provide poor langauge models with research indicating inhibited expressive language use.

Best wishes!!
