I like the kid shows on Nick, at least the ones for little kids. I hate the teen ones, but I will get to that in another post. The young kids shows aren't bad. They are cute, innocent, and most often educational in some way.
Doesn't replace a parent's teaching, but that again is another post!
What I don't like about it is the commercials. They have commercials in between shows, and sometimes they aren't even directed at kids but the parents they suppose are sitting watching with their children.
Disney doesn't have those commercials, I wish Nick was the same. I thought that the commercials for toys would be the ones I would have to content with, but I was wrong.
In Walmart yesterday, we were getting Ava some new toothpaste. I had already put her normal kind, Crest for Kids, in the cart. She points at one and says,
"Mommy, I want that one!"
"I already got you some. Look, its here in the cart."
"Noooooo!" (Begins to have a minor meltdown) "The TV says that this one cleans the best!"
Well.
I had to explain to her that commercials always make things sound better than they are, in an attempt to get you to spend your money on them. I assured her that any toothpaste is going to do an equal job.
I am not sure she believed me, but she gave up the fight about the toothpaste.
