Discussion on answer by Calvin Smythe: Should I encourage/persuade my 3 year old to watch kids TV shows that she finds scary or upsetting?

@RyanfaeScotland TV shows are not the medium for learning to do things that they don't like. There are a multitude of other examples that will happen naturally while parenting a toddler that will encourage learning to do things that we don't like, (Eating vegetables, sharing, taking a bath). The use TV here is for entertainment. If what is on the TV is not entertaining, but rather inducing fear or being upset, there is not reason to try to push past it. Leave it be and watch something else.
