One of the children’s favorite activities is watching TV. With thousands of TV programs airing today, it is important to pick educational TV shows for kids that will educate and influence them, positively.
As a child, I remember wanting to rush home from school because my favorite cartoon aired at 3. If my parents were a tad bit late, I’d throw a tantrum.
Today, it is no different. In fact, I could say it is worse. I can’t remember trying to swing webs like spiderman.
Just last week, I saw a video of a child expertly climbing two walls and I began to question my childhood. I could tell he was raised by Nigerian parents.
As a parent, you’d not want to deprive your child of this free-time activity. However, you can ensure that they watch educational TV shows for kids that help them enjoy learning.
Just to give you a feeling of nostalgia, do you remember Sesame Street? Did your face just light up in a smile?

It was one of my favorite children’s shows growing up. You get to hear the perspective of children on different questions. It is unscripted and natural.
Most times, the replies of these kids can surprise you and leave you like “What! Lok at how smart they are”.
“Can you tell where the Zuma rock is in Nigeria?”
“Abuja, yaaay!”. I still hear these words in my head to date.

“Uncle Alex, why are my teeth white?” Sometimes it can get tiring, which is why I love this animation.
