Welcome to episode one of mummy, can I watch something? Your guide to navigating the turbulent world of kids TV, with me, Katie Harrison.
This is the moment I finally wrestle the remote back from my five-year-old and start to properly interrogate the shows I want her to watch. And maybe, along the way, I can help other parents let go of the shame around screen time.
Because kids TV isn’t just a passive distraction rotting their brains. It can educate, entertain, and give you something to enjoy together.
So the next time your child asks, “mummy, can I watch something?” you’ll actually know what to say.
Thanks for listening – and happy watching.
