My daughter should have autism then.. she watches it at least once a day ??

I didn't read the article either, lol, same reason. I just brought Daniel up cuz I was surprised by that...I am super picky about watching stuff.

As a disclaimer I haven't seen the show or read this article because it sounded stupid ?

Yea, @cmc, enough naturally, don't want to encourage it, or say that it's okay/portray as a normal way of life...I guess teaching that it's an acceptable behavior.

@lil...I'm not okay with that kind of behavior. ?

@miss, wouldn't stomping their feet be a fairly benign way to work out frustration? I don't see how that's a bad thing to teach.

People also tell children to hit pillows or scream into pillows sometimes if they are having problems expressing their anger.

?

Kids aren't taught to throw temper tantrums though lol. It's wired in their little brains to throw tantrums no matter what?

How can a tv show cause any sort of issues?? That's stupid.

Glad it helped your lo, I won't be teaching mine to throw a temper tantrum though. ?

Pp Daniel tiger is actually great for kids! It helped my daughter with getting upset and lasting out at me

My daughters classmates sister's speech therapist actually suggested she watch Peppa to speak better. She said British people do have a better dialect than Americans. My daughter loves Peppa and my son loves Gabba. Both drive me crazy but I keep it to myself so I don't let my kids know. LoL

One of my friends posted on fb that he was watching Daniel Tiger w his kid...and they actually said...if you don't like something, stomp your feet and it will make you feel better!!!! ??? I was horrified...last thing I want is negative behavior being instilled.

Daddy Pig gets me every time. He's so funny.

Ugh I hate Peppa Pig, but I hide my disgust because sd loves it. I don't like most kid shows though, except for bubble guppies they're the shiznit.

I feel bad for peppa pig. ??

I keep hearing about how people think the show is a bad influence, how it caused a kid to love pork, all kinds of ish. I think peppa pig needs some love.

I'm not even gna waste my time checking out that link because its that ridiculous.

I do not like his show at all BUT do not think it causes autism.

I can't allow myself to open that link. How ridiculous. Anyone with common sense would know that that is complete rubbish!

My son is autistic... he was diagnosed before that show even aired...

Lol

What a load of ?. Autism isn't something you can "catch" from watching a certain cartoon (or getting vaccinated). People just want something to blame a mental condition on because they cant face the fact that their kids are different and have different needs than other kids. ?

Haha. #alternativefacts pp yes it was on fb. It talks about rain and kids watching more tv where it rains more often and kids in those areas tend to have autism more than a place where it doesn't rain a lot. I don't know ?‍♀️ seems like a bunch o ??? to me.

The first paragraph is the only thing that talks about autism. The rest is just nonsense about how stupid the show is. It's gotta be a complete fake article.

Tell her to only send real news articles. Not alternative facts articles.

Must be from facebook

She sends me articles like this almost everyday. 90% of them are just people making s*** up.

How could anyone believe this? Stupid.

I don't think it causes autism, but they are recommending no electronics for ages 0-2...dh and I were just discussing whether we think we can pull that off!!

A little googling showed that this neither this Harvard study nor the supposed author seem to actually exist. Whoever wrote this article should be ashamed.

We are safe from the autism bug one more day... ?

Thought that was a proven fake study.

Oh, So I guess that's how my son "caught" Autism ?

I think Barney causes ....uhhh probably nothing but DONT WATCH IT? he is scary anyway.

All the 2yr olds I know LOVE Peppa Pig and they're not watching it all day everyday. It's grown on me..I don't mind hearing "muddy puddles" anymore lol

Totally agree pp!!! My kids watch peppa it's annoying sometimes but I think most kids shows are

Eh. Peppa Pig isn't nearly as bad as Caillou.
