The article discusses the growing concern among parents regarding the animated series 'CoComelon,' which captivates toddlers with its vibrant colors and catchy music. Influencers and parents like Lauren Isler and Shani Hillian express their worries about the show's fast-paced nature leading to overstimulation in children. They report behavioral changes, such as tantrums and difficulty transitioning away from the show, suggesting an addictive quality that resembles addictive substances. The piece highlights a broader debate on children's programming and its impact on attention spans and imaginative play.
When 'CoComelon' was on, he demonstrated some negative behaviors - transitions were hard and there were tantrums, especially when it was time to turn it off.
It's too fast-paced, it's too aggressive, and I don't like how big their eyes are. It's scary. I also feel like the overstimulation is playing into the short attention span.
Once you have a taste of the COCO, it's hard to break away because kids become glued to the show.
