Peep and the Big Wide World

          My 5 year old kid is a huge fan of Peep and the Big Wide World. He doesn't get tired watching the various episodes on You Tube. And as I try to observe him watching this show, I am also delighted for he learns several things from this animation. Just to give us a little background of the show, I researched on this one and found out the following:

         "Peep and the Big Wide World is an animated children's television series created by Canadian Animator Kaj Pindal and based on the 1988 short film Peep and the Big Wide World produced by the National Film Board of Canada,

which itself is based on the 1962 short film The Peep Show, also produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

          Carriage on the Discovery children's network ended on December 10, 2010 with the discontinuation of Ready Set Learn and the Discovery Kids with the Hub. "- Source- Wikipedia- the free Encyclopedia

         As my son watches the film, he is always amused by the three main characters like Peep, Chirp and Quack. The bond of their friendship is so strong that somehow, it allows them to hurdle all those challenges of this friendship. And in the midst of all their trials, their friendship emerges as a strong foundation to move forward. 

          Thus, when you have a 5 year old kid or in any near age to that, do recommend this show for it will also allow your kid to be entertained and to be informed by the adventures of the main characters.  

Effects of Online Games on Children

The proliferation of online activities nowadays are getting so popular. Online activities such as online games, trading, marketing, blogging and many more. My focus of sharing at this time is on the impact of online games like Nickelodion on children. Nevertheless, it is my observation that nowadays, children as early as 3 years old (or maybe there are those younger than that age bracket), they are already exposed to the online world of games.

Varieties of these online games can be in the form of online games for kids, for girls, for ipads, etc. and one advantage of this is that at such  early stage, they are already exposed to the modern world of technology. They need though to cope with the cadence of the times thus allowing them to be in with what is considered as advancement of this modern era.

On the contrary, there is also that risk that exposing our children to such development at that early stage would result to negative effects such as being manipulative, too relying on the internet (thus depriving them the chance to explore further), being too curious on things (others might happen to be not yet that appropriate for them ).

Thus, if we, adults, will try to check the situation of our children nowadays wisely, we therefore play a very significant role in this critical stage of their life and development. One of those demands on us is to be able to equate quality time for them. Our hectic schedules are not valid excuses for us to deprive our children with sufficient and desired upbringing. Whatever things that we impart with them today will impact less or more their life. Thus, may we all become effective bringers of good qualities to our children.
