Moms that do screen time, thoughts on super simple songs?

I usually like it. It’s educational and doesn’t seem to be too overstimulating? But today an episode about mixing different foods came on, and they kept saying EWWWW & YUCK! To different combinations. They were gross combos like sushi and ice cream but I turned it off quickly. I feel like with toddlers you already have to fight to get them to eat. Last thing I need is him learning the word YUCK correlating to food.

Idk what that is but I totally agree. I hate when kid shows do that. I feel like it encourages bad behaviors.

i love super simple songs, but i completely understand where you’re coming from. i know the song too lol, whenever it came on for my son it never effected him with food or anything, he never says yuck but i realise it could influence other children xx

Some of them are so annoying and or not my fav message but in general we like it.

Do you like lasagna lollipops? Ew yucky! Judgemental ass

My tots love it they especially love red light stop green light go this video in particular 🥰but lately we don’t watch it as much as we use to idk it depends maybe sometimes we’ll look at their bedtime songs we watch it every now and then but overall I do like them as they’re an educational outlet https://youtu.be/a-npmDGK1Dc

I like super simple songs but agree on that song! Always skip that one

@Sinead thank you that’s good to hear! The no is already bad enough if he started saying yuck idk what I’d do 🤣

@Elizabeth like??? How do you know?! 😂😂😂

@Donna yesss he loves it!

Ahh Super Simple Songs! That was on daily when my daughter was little, how time flies 🥹 Do you like broccoli ice cream? Well yes, yes I do! One of the joys of having a Vitamix is that you can mix green veggies into your own ice cream and can’t taste it! 🤣 I think the concept of ‘yucky’ and ‘yummy’ is important for children to learn. We used to sing the song and go around making up silly concoctions of our own and whether they would be yucky or yummy. She definitely didn’t start throwing around the word yucky after watching though but I can see how some kids may latch onto it and do so.

Haha I’ve had the same thoughts about that song! I feel like it teaches them they can say yuck to stuff. Even if they aren’t super nice combinations, I’d rather my kid not think it’s cool to say yuck to food!

Agree with you. I do let my kids watch it though. 1 fussy and 1 not fussy eater. However, it is only the combination of the food: according to super simple sounds; broccoli is yum, so that’s a win. Cocomelon, JJ won’t eat his veg in an episode 🤷‍♀️ 🤣🫣

I understand where you're coming from...my son thinks it's funny...but he eats any and everything...if I eat it he wants it...he'll try anything...he even eats salad...he says my food makes him hungry...and my drink makes him thirsty...we also have a big family so if he sees someone with something different he wants to try it...he's 3

@Neena I definitely feel you, when he’s older I’ll let it play maybe. But for now he says no when he means yes, just to say no 🤣 so we’re gonna avoid yuck for a while lmao.

@Gilly yeah I liked the positivity about broccoli! I think we may just skip the song for a while though. I’d feel so bad if we were out eating and he said yuck! We don’t do cocomelon cuz of stuff like that lol!

@Karess yessss mine eats salad too! He won’t eat pizza or chicken nuggets, but salad with my balsamic vinaigrette dressing? MORE!!

@Korissa chicken nuggets from a restaurant he won't eat but if I cook them at home he'll eat them...we don't eat out so everyday is me sweating over the stove...

😂😂😂 we like that song and make up our own words with disgusting combos. But I see your point but this has not impacted my kids because I'd never serve broccoli and custard.

We don’t watch these but my toddler learned “don’t like it” somehow and she used that one all the time 🙃😂

@Karess we don’t eat out either lol. I’ve tried home made chicken nuggets & the earths best organic ones, but he refuses 🤣 he’ll only eat organic chicken sausage
