Overview

• The parent removed Cocomelon, Ms Rachel, Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol from her toddler’s Netflix options after observing signs of fixation and overstimulation.
• Cocomelon was flagged for its 1–3-second cuts, neon-bright visuals and nonstop nursery rhymes that experts warn could be problematic for young viewers.
• Despite Ms Rachel’s educational aim, its vivid imagery and non-stop energetic scenes appeared to dampen the child’s natural playfulness.
• Peppa Pig was banned over concerns about its relatively low educational value and reports that toddlers imitated what some parents described as “bad manners.”
• Action-packed Paw Patrol episodes proved so distracting that the toddler ignored toys, reflecting expert warnings about loud sounds, rapid cuts and the need for parental engagement during screen viewing.
