Tv shows that have more gentle parenting

I was just interested if anyone could think of anything - any show where kids cosleeping is normalised and there are more gentle parenting methods.

I watched a Bollywood film recently and it was so sweet that the toddler slept with the mum and it was completely normal (and in no way part of the plot). I know cosleeping and gentle parenting aren’t the same thing at all but I’m interested in both.

Kid's shows or adult ones? The kids in Bluey don't co sleep, but I love Bandit's positive, play based approach to patenting.

I'm pro aspects of gentle parenting and have no issue with people cosleeping but I wonder if it's not promoted much on TV due to the risk of SIDS? I know it can be done safely but I mean that people may do it unsafe if they see it on TV and think it's normal. They may not research.

Hi it hasn't covered co-sleeping but I've found the Cbeebies programme Bluey to handle parenting and in particular gentle parenting beautifully. I often tear up or think 'I'll use that going forward' x

Perhaps but then you could say that with anything parenting wise on tv. The fact is a lot of parents do it anyway (and not safely - you just need to check the Facebook groups). They could show it in a safe way and normalise it.
