Meet Daa-Daa, Baa, Ping, Umby Pumby, Nin, Duggle Dee, RuRu, and the leader of the ground, Mi-Mi! The Teletubbies are even more fun than their older relatives, and they each have their own very unique and fun personality. Okay, I know you have to know who the Teletubbies are, and if you have young children, I bet you’ve never thought about what they can teach us about young children. They have decided that for young children, there are a few things they can teach us about our children too.
My kids loved the Teletubbies, and now the Teletubbies. Yes, I’ve been watching this fun-loving, popular kids show with my kids for several years now. Now I like the show, but I am upset about one thing. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN MY YOUNG, AND I MEAN 2-YEAR-OLD PAY ATTENTION TO AN EPISODE BUT CAN’T STOP LONG ENOUGH TO HEAR ME SAY, “DON’T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH.” I have been wracking my brain about this since back in the Teletubbies days. How in the world are my young children able to devote so much attention to this show, and when they are really young, this is the only show they would watch?
What Teletubbies Can Teach Us About Young Children
Here are a few things the teletubbies help our children with, as well as a few things they can teach us about young children.
Language-agnostic and created for your toddler
Language agnostics can help children who have speech or other communication difficulties. The childlike babbling is fun, gentle, and always fun. To an adult, the show might seem out there, but it is designed for your toddler. It’s how a 2-year-old sees the world. Like the Teletubbies, the world is still new to a toddler.
As far as the language-agnostic aspect of the show goes, it allows kids to learn and grow at their own pace with a communication style they are familiar with.
They learn how to play well with others
Teletubbies are also teaching our young ones things. One of my favorite things about the Teletubbies is how well they get along and play together. They don’t bicker and argue; there is no bullying or excluding one another when they play games. Since young children learn a lot from what they see, I can’t help but say the Teletubbies do a great job helping parents reinforce good playtime manners.
The Teletubbies are good at more than playtime manners and being fun. See all that bright, eye-catching landscape and such in the Teletubbies world. Well, young children are amazed by it. Since young children love all these things, it’s easy for them to pay attention to them and even learn things like colors and shapes.
Early learning
Did you know the teletubbies can help stimulate toddlers early learning? From the bright colors and the surreal world, the teletubbies live, so no wonder toddlers are amazed and pay attention. It can help them become familiar with shapes, colors, and even certain aspects of the world during a very important time in their development.
