I’M NOT SAYING EVERY SHOW ON THIS LIST IS A PROBLEM.

I’m not banning Paw Patrol over one character.

But parents should know what messages, characters and stories are shaping their kids’ worldview.

AWARENESS ISN’T OUTRAGE…

It’s good parenting!

Kids are left alone with the remote too often. We need more oversight.
