You know there is always that former educator part of me that is constantly vigilant
when out there in this information maze we call the internet.
And as I was browing through I was intriduced to this channel which is clearly oriented towards very young kids I'm talking toddlers which upon further inspection I must admit I find disconcerting.
Considering the fact I know some of you are parents I decided to make this video to strongly suggest to keep your kids away from this channel for their sake and here is why.
Ok welcome back so the channel in question is Cocomelon. A massive huge success of a channel with
As you can see Cocomelon is a silly songs for kids in animated cartoon format videos which is clearly designed to keep your youngs entertained with its bright colours and music and what not.
And at first glance this may appear innoquos but the further you look into this, particularly from the perspective of a teacher, the more you'll see that this type of content is indeed in my opinion harmful and dangeour for your children.
First I'd like to rectify the word I've just used. The content isn't just entertaining for the kids, it's compulsively absorbable by design. As a content creator myself I can recognize the strategy and patterns.
Continuous jump cuts sometimes at an insane pace of a cut every 1.5 seconds equals a constant bombardment of new screens and perspectives. It's TikTok's ginglying of keys but on steroids and most importantly while TikTok at least initially resonated more with Teenagers this appears to be catered towards toddlers whcih makes the whole overload of external stimuli and sensory cues concerning.
Already experts err on the stricter side, with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), for example, advising against screen time for children under 18 months (except for video chatting) and an hour max of high-quality programming for children 2 and older.
This channel is built to instead capture your kids for as long as you the parent will leave them infront of the device.
Already there is accumulating evidence of potential negative associations when exposed to constant fast pace screen stimuli interchange particularly with children’s ability to focus their attention and regulate their behaviour and emotions. Toddler means their brains are extremely malluable so this sort of videos create fast pace stimulus the default for them. Its in its tenets.
There is a monumental amount of evidence (I'll leave some links for you in the description) which points to the fact that screen time for infants and toddlers should be monitored and reduced or limited to an appropriate amount, based on critically analyzed data.
Before we go deeper into this I would like to address the elephant in the room.
Societally speaking I believe we have slowly and silently been accepting the very wrong trend whereby distracting a child has become more important than educating a child.
So I'm just gonna say this. A YouTube series should not babysit your child.
I understand the allure. You are a busy parent, you have a million things to do, work I absolutely get it and I'm with you 100% but I do want you to know what happens when you leave your toddler infront of that ipad or monitor for the entire afternoon before the damage that you weren't aware of, will need postumous correction .
THE EFFECTS ON CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
There is a very strong causal link between the passive action of overwhelming an infant with screen time and the effects of said routinne on the child's emotional, social and cognitive development.
Addiction is also another aspect of this. Ironically how our language labels users those behind screens and those with drug addictions.
Now if your child gets addicted to this, what happens if you take it away?
"discontent" Withdrawal
Strategic efficacy which is one of the most pragmatic, cold and mechanical aspects of content production on YouTube is what effectively turns the person watching into a user, and for these massive channels your kid is a clog into their money printing machine.
And when I say that let's jump into social blade. Social blade isn't the most accurate, in my experience they often appear to be incorrect on the lower end in the sense their estimates are actually quite low but it can give us an overall idea of what type of business this is.
