How is dora influential?

DORA! DORA! DORA! I'm sick of Dora?

  • All my 3 year old son wants to do is watch Dora. Day and Night. Nothing but Dora. Is this normal? Should I be worried. Should I say no Dora? Please help!

  • Answer:

    My 2 year old grandbaby is the same way..... Heck, she thinks she is Dora. And when my children were younger it was Barney! Just be glad it isn't him.... There is nothing wrong with it, he will eventually outgrow it.

just try putting a limit on it. like only allow him to watch one or two shows a day. try to get him interested in something else. it isn't good for kids to watch tv all day no matter what they are watching.

Let them watch thier Dora! It's educational TV, but you should try reading them Dora books instead of watching the show. That way they can spend time with you and learn how to read and learn everything from the show at the same time!

It doesn't matter what's "normal" -- if all the other parents let their kids jump off of cliffs, would you let yours do it, too? YOU are the parent; YOU get to lay down the law. If there's too much TV-watching going on in your household, then unplug the damn thing and stash it in the closet for a month or two. Try having your son sit in your lap and read a book together. Get down on the floor and play with him. Show him there are alternatives to the "idiot box"...

There is nothing wrong w/ your son. It's normal for children to attacthed to certain characters. Your sick of it b/c you see/hear it on a daily basis. Your not alone. All parents out there(me included) have children who repeatedly love to watch their fav. character. Hell my 2yr old is obsessed w/ Spiderman, but I use it to my advantage. For example, when it's time to eat If he doesn't want to eat I'll pretend it's spiderman food or say he's Spiderman and he needs to eat his food to fight Venom(his enemy). I've gotten him to eat some vegetables that way. Dont worry not before long he'll grow out of Dora and find another character he likes.

If its that he's addicted to the show/movies, you should limit his viewing time. Children shouldn't watch that much TV anyway. If its that he wants to "play Dora" and "be Dora" and eat with his Dora spoon...thats normal...kids are able to bond with TV characters just like we are (hence the trillion reality shows) and when they "fall in love" with a character, it'll take time for them to make the realization that that character is not the only thing in their lives. When you take your son out to the park or to play in the backyard, focus on a specific thing like kicking the soccer ball...he'll be so focused on that and how well he did (because you'll tell him how well he did) that maybe instead of telling everyone about Dora, he'll start telling everyone how he kicked the ball, etc.

its about time

It's very normal, kids obsess over things. I would limit the amount of TV time though. They make little figurines of Dora if you can afford it get him some and he can play it instead of watch it. Also nickjr.com has Dora printables and activities you can do with your kids, or he can just color them. They probably sell Dora coloring books also.

DORA! DORA! DORA!.... its alright for the kids to watch DORA.... as you can see DORA is an educational thing.... what would you like your kids to watch.... a disgusting kind of a movie/television.... or rather watch DORA to have an early educational knowledge about things..... ive liked to watch DORA sometimes if a have time..... in our country we had this HIRAYAMANAWARI, SINESKEWLA and a lot more.... to know about things so that our kids will know how to count, sing, dance, and can distinguish between a right and a wrong ones.... its like watching BARNEY and other stuff.... as early as 3 let your kids watch an educational movie or teach them about it.... God bless... hope i help you....

have him entertained in some other ways other than watching t.v. i don't see anything wrong with him wanting to watch dora, my son went through the same thing but he's rather go outside and play than sit inside and watch dora. try introducing him to go diego go! and other cartoons.
