best cartoons that childrem must watch

Many parents are adamant about keeping their kids away from the TV set, which is also referred to as an idiot box, for fear of them becoming couch potatoes. In fact, child experts claim that TV can fry kids’ brains and that they’re better off doing more engaging and productive activities like reading, jigsaw puzzles, arts and crafts, and playing outside. However, while this is all true, keeping kids away from the TV completely can prove to be a daunting, if not impossible, task. Parents are tired and need to distract their kids even for a while, as they go about doing chores or just plain resting.
There are several solutions in breaking up the battle between children and parents when it comes to TV time. One is to limit the number of hours the little ones spend in front of the tube; some say an hour a day is the maximum for children under 6. Secondly, to keep the TV experience from being passive, parents should watch the shows with their kids and take on a more participative role to what’s happening on the screen. That way, the child is interacting while watching and more importantly, learning some things from the parents.
Lastly, parents should closely screen the shows that the kids are watching. Just because it’s a cartoon and shows on a Kiddie TV channel doesn’t mean it portrays the right values to the kids. In fact, many of these cartoons are harmful to the child’s sponge-like brains due to violence or disobedience to elders and other such issues.
If you thought Spongebob and his gang’s utterly idiotic antics could knock a kid’s IQ down several notches, you’ll be surprised to know that it’s actually the mildest of the cartoons that can harm children.
Here’s a list of cartoons that can harm children in the two to six year old age range and should be avoided completely. The effects of these cartoons may not be as drastic to older, more discerning children, so it won’t be too bad if these older kids viewed the cartoons every so often. The list only covers cartoons that are specifically targeted to children and doesn’t include adult cartoons, like The Simpsons, Family Guy or Beavis and Butthead.
