Quality show

This show is getting review bombed because it shows diverse families. Yes these people exist in the show, but it doesn't even talk about them beyond that. You know, that's really the bare minimum in society - to recognize that other people exist. Personally I appreciate the representation. In reality it is a decent show and teaches kids about emotions, social skills like taking turns and table manners, and new experiences like going to the dentist or getting a haircut. It's also much less annoying than the original Cocomelon. My toddler and I like it!

Absolutely wonderful

I think its absolutely wonderful to teach kids that families come in all shapes and sizes. My kid came hope last year from school and said there was a kid being made fun of for having two moms. This show will show kids early that its ok. Nothing sexual about it. Its no different then seeing a mom and dad on a show. Calling it “woke” is just blatant homophobia.

Good for development

This show has helped developed my kids attention span since it’s more like a traditional show. It has her favorite characters but it’s longer than 2 minute singalongs. Boy a lot of homophonic fears here two gay dads happens if they love their kids who cares? There’s no agenda in the show other than to acknowledge they exist. If children are raised to fear or not understand a lifestyle that’s been around since the beginning of time they’re gonna have a lot more problems in the world than watching 2 gay dads on a tv show when they’re 3.

Seemed ok at first but very disappointed. Won’t recommend.

At first it seemed to be a good add on to the original CoComelon which my kids love but at soon as we get to the episode with a same sex couple (2 Dads) we stopped watching. It’s totally unnecessary to include this in a show for toddlers/preschoolers and seems it’s put in just to check off some agenda. We will simply stick to the original or no more of this show at all.

A good next step to the original series!

A great next step to show the characters growing with their viewers. They name their emotions, understand their feelings, and are exposed to new experiences. I appreciate that they've started to reflect the way the world really looks by including different types of families. The only way children will understand how to respect every type of person/ family structure is by seeing it for the normal thing it is. Along with the increased diversity, it's great to see the world reflected for what it is.

Cocomelon with Gay Dads and boy with Tutu

I was very shocked to see Cocomelon putting gay dads in their video and then had their son run out of a room or closet with a Tutu on. We won't be watching Cocomelon anymore.

Another woke cartoon for the sake of being woke. When will it stop?

Fantastic. Better than original!

So much better than cocomelon. Social emotional learning. Diverse cast including people of different cultures and lifestyles (latinx, 2 dad's etc). It is nice my child will have diversity and loving acceptance modeled for him. Great show!

A great show!

This show is the sweetest! I love the fact they allow kids to be kids and feel like kids and not little adults, and the diversity is great! I was especially happy with the gay dads, black best friend and boys to girls ratio!
