Why would a parent not want their children to watch characters?

1 Answer

Answer :

I know quite a few parents who refuse to buy clothing with any sort of characters on them, but I’ve never heard of restricting a child from Elmo or Mickey Mouse….I mean, Sesame Street is quite educational, so that confuses me. I personally don’t want Barney crap for my son, because it annoys me…but that’s just a personal preference.
