Do you know Bob and Larry from VeggieTales ? We love them! And when I say we I mean the whole family, not just Kung Fu Baby Boy.
With all honesty I have to say that I like to know the shows my son watches; just ask my husband and he will probably give you a list of TV shows that he cannot watch when Kung Fu Baby Boy is around. If you stay long enough, he will probably also tell you about all the times I’ve asked him to change the channel, because the movie is not appropriate for a 5-year-old child.
Is not that I want to raise my child inside a bubble, it’s just that I look for TV shows that can help us reinforce the values and principles that we are trying to pass along, while setting a good example and of course, getting him entertained.
VeggieTales is one of my greatest allies in this regard, since the program reflects very well the way we are raising Kung Fu Baby Boy. At home we do not call people by offensive names, we ask for things with a please and when we receive them we say thank you; we ask for permission to interrupt conversations between the elderly, we ask for la bendición (blessing) when we greet our elder family member, including mom Dad; and we also take time to reflect on our actions and apologize when we hurt someone’s feelings or we behave incorrectly.
As a parent I feel I should be aware of absolutely everything I can, and even though I understand there are certain things beyond my hands; shows my son watches at home are totally under my control.
Up until recently, we were only able to enjoy VeggieTales through the screen; we even took them on car rides since they are available online. That changed when we found the stuffed characters at our local Walmart in a very colorful and fun display. We found many of his favorites and even though Kung and Baby Boy tried to convince me to buy them all, he had to decide on one. He opted to go for Bob the tomato.
Although there are many children’s programs to choose from, is really difficult to find a list of programs that encourage respect and values. To me, VeggieTales has the complete package, especially now that we can carry Bob the tomato with as a little reminder to be our best no matter where we go.
Perhaps you already follow VeggieTales on Facebook, but if you don’t, go ahead, connect with them.
