It's been many years, but I find myself warning young parents about this show frequently. I have never been one to blame TV for any behavior. I have 5 children. My 4th child is 14 years older than my 5th, so my first 4 never saw this show. I thought it was cute in the beginning. Then my 4 year old started acting out like dramatic pouts and crying over little things. He had never acted like that before, and when I stopped putting that show on for him, it stopped fairly quickly. He is now 14 and has never been in trouble. Bus drivers, teachers, doctors... they all talk about how good he is. I teach my kids to go with the flow and adjust to new things. If you make a big deal about it, then they make a big deal about it, and this show teaches them to do just that. All my grown children are well adjusted, productive, responsible, and contribute to society, so I think I did alright with raising them. Luckily I pay attention to what they watch at such a young age and stopped this one quickly.
