Are these the messages we send to our children?
Cartoons are a huge influence on kid’s lives these days as they spend so much time in front of the TV. The episodes are made to teach them responsibility, honesty and being a good friend, but did you ever think a cartoon would teach a child how to bake? I apologize in advance for this video, it is pretty agonizing to watch because of its raw cheesy-ness, over enthusiastic facial expressions and puppet people, but I think the topic is worth diving into. It is a Nickelodeon show where the characters of Lazy Town are together in the kitchen baking a cake and singing along. The choices this video and cartoon chose to get the kids attention through song in order to teach them a lesson are valid. They use many goofy characters, so every kid can relate to one of them, and get the message across that this is how you bake a cake. Kids absorb information and “rules” of our world like sponges, so we need to be careful what messages we put in front of them. See what other choices or persuasive strategies you can point out in this energetic video. Is a hyper girl with pink hair the girl you want teaching your child lessons in life?
Note: There is a Lil John remix version that I almost posted by accident…. Close one! 🙂
