Does iTunes Really Get My Preschooler

Barney, Curious George, Rugrat's and Bob the Builder. That’s what iTunes thinks my 4 year old is watching these days. NOT! 2 of those 4 shows are banned in our house. The other 2 she’s seen and not so cool. I think she prefers George on a book and well Rugrat's is was never really that interesting. Personally I always thought those kids were just a little off. Just a little. 

 

I just looked at the number of times movies were played on various streaming tools (TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod) and from the number one movie when she was 1-2 years, was Born Free, yes you guessed it the nature movie with the scary lions).

From age 2 to 3 it was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Fantastic Mr. Fox and at Christmas time the Polar Express is a common favorite in the house. 

 

From age 3 to 4 it was all of the Toy Story Movies, All of the Winnie the Pooh Movies

 

Her favorite 4 year old movies include Gnomeo & Juliet, Finding Nemo, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella & Hop.

 

The number one movie through out the ages has been Wall-E.

 

TV shows she didn't really start watching till she was 3. The favorites include, Gummi Bears, Martha Speaks, Charlie Brown TV Show, Seasame Street, Jimmy Nuetron and Wacky Races.
