Wafffle !!!

Big cook little cook!!!

Andy's prehistoric adventures!!!

Anything with mr tumble in it!!

I've got 3 kids under 5 so CBeebies is a given in our household but certain programs can certainly live without if they suddenly got pulled.

If your kid watches CBeebies what programme can you as the adult not tolerate.

This is not a thread to bash the channel just certain programmes really do take the biscuit.

Of course Cocomelon and LBB are the worst! They're also not on Cbeebies thank god because I don't want to spend my mornings dodging DD3 from knowing they exist. I'm already pissed off that she knows Peppa is a thing because the books and merchandise are at every playgroup. I've had to tell her that our TV doesn't get that show!

We also have a substandard tv which doesn’t get peppa 😂😂😂

coco melon is on iPlayer (213 episodes of it!!) is it not shown on the CBeebies channel? I wish my daughter had never found out about iPlayer tbh, it’s much better when there’s only one episode of something than when you spend hours watching the same show.

Bing, Waffle and ITNG give me and DC the opportunity to express our disapproval at certain behaviours.Grin

The Pontipines are the worst parents ever. Followed closely by the Brooklyn-Bells.

Yakka Dee for me. We only really watch TV on demand so usually end up watching a few episodes of whatever in a row, and my heart sinks when DD chooses Yakka Dee. It's so boring and samey. I guess it's meant for children with speech and language needs, though I'm not sure just repeating the word over and over and shouting at the child to say it is a Speech and Language Therapist approved technique...

As per a pp I'm surprised at the Maddie hate. We're big fans of Maddie here and DD has learnt so much from her! DD must be one of the only two year olds who builds solar panels on her Duplo houses, and that's thanks to Maddie 😂

Yakka Dee is actually based on speech and language techniques. Not "shouting the word at them", but introducing it to them in lots of different linguistic contexts (basic noun, plural nouns, with an adjective, with a preposition) and accompanied by visual representations.

Obviously you can dislike it still, but saying it isn't educational or based on educational theory isn't accurate.

It's on iPlayer?! Good god. 99% certain it's not on the Cbeebies channel thankfully. That may mean iPlayer also has to break on your TV 😂
