My 3 year old son has not seen tv or had any screen time on any device so far in his little life and I’ve been trying to find something suitable to introduce him to. I feel he has come to the right age to be introduced to it now. It needs to be totally sensitive with no surprises or intense music - film music is so atmospheric that a non violent scene can be suggested by the intensity of the music. I’ve been struggling to find something he would enjoy that would be totally gentle and slow paced. Things like In The Night Garden are perhaps too young for him and I don’t want to introduce things like Peppa Pig partly because of the merchandise that goes with it and I just don’t like the look of it - animals behaving like humans is a bit odd. He loves the original Thomas the Tank engine books the Mr Men, Julia Donaldson and the lost and found, how to catch a star, up and down books. We have also recently been reading fairytales - Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson etc. Some of the films of the books he loves have some scenes where I think he would easily get scared. He’s a really gentle, good natured boy with a great sense of humour. So any suggestions advice would be great.
