Worst Programs for Children

             
Cast17  Jessie is a show on the Disney Channel. She is from Taxes and moved to New York to babysit and become a nanny for a Brangelina couple who adopted four children from around the world. In this show, it shows our children that it is acceptable to behave like a brat and get everything you ask for. The children that Jessie watches are very rich and have all the new fashionable clothing. All four kids on the show have attitude problems and it is never addressed by the parents. This show lets our children grow up with attitudes and disrespect. This show is promoting to our young to grow up faster than needed. Ravi, Emma, Zuri and Luke are the children that she babysits for. The show is full of stereotypes. For example: Ravi was adopted from India and talks with an exaggerated accent, talks about peace, tigers, fortune telling, curry and yoga. Typical for a person from India. Zuri was adopted from Africa as a baby. Even though Zuri was raised since day one by an upper class white family, she still uses phrases like "mmmmmmhmmmm" and "oh no you didn't", both spoken in a very stereotypical black way. Emma is a typical white girl who is a dumb blonde. All she talks about is boys, fashion, glitter and celebrity gossip. She is constantly screaming and acting like a drama queen. Last but not least is Luke. Luke is a typical boy who is always flirting and hitting on older girls. He is always commenting on their bodies, sometimes using sexual gestures.
 

Dog with the blog is a another show on the Disney Channel. It's about a dog who has his own website and he can talk. This show is very unrealistic. The young girls on the show wear so much make up and it makes normal young girls want to do the same. This is another show promoting young girls to grow up at an accelerate pace. On this show Stan (the dog) is always talking to strangers online and tries to set up arrangements to meet at different places. Since Stan is a dog, it would be silly for him to go alone. So he brings Ellen who the mother on the show. This program is teaching our kids bad habits. It is never a good ideal to meet strangers online, especially if your a young child. Children watching this show may get the wrong impression and think that it is okay to go meet strangers. Avery is always into makeup and having a good looking boyfriend. She has her priorities wrong and is teaching other young children to act like her. Chloe is the youngest sister on the show. She is very sassy but is always looking up to Avery and learning everything from her including her bad habits. Tyler is the older brother who is always taking his selfie and trying to look good for the girls. He is not very interested in school, just in the girls. This show is sending the wrong message to our younger audience.

Is SpongeBob SquarePants bad for your children?Recent research on children's television shows has put Sponge Bob Square pants, a cartoon show from the Nickelodeon channel in a bad predicament. Researchers have came to the conclusion that Sponge Bob Square pants is a fast-paced show that is brain frying for young viewers. The young minds that the show attracts simply can not handle the fast-paced fantasy show. There is so much going on that their minds get overwhelmed and full of exhaustion. Nickelodeon has stated that their show "Sponge Bob Square pants" was developed for children between the ages of six to eleven. Although with the shows bright colors and crazy agenda, it has attracted viewers of younger ages. About 39% of the shows viewers are aged between two and five. Recent studies have shown that the show can cause children of young ages to do poorly in school and develop attention problems. Parents should regulate what shows their children are watching to prevent these learning problems from taking place.
