Allowing your kids to watch a TV isn't a parenting crime, as long as you know how to make sure the limited quantity of TV is maximum quality. The experts agree that kids should watch not more than two hours of TV a day. Here, then are RRjunior (I) 's top 10 favourite TV shows:
This show is simply super cute and focuses on the social emotional skills such as how to use appropriate word as well as how to develop a positive sense of self. With the help of Daniel and his friends, the kids can learn practical skills for growing, developing and coping with daily problems; such as how to get dressed, how to tie shoe, how to take turns, manage feelings, treat each other with kindness and respect.
*** Daniel Tiger's neighbourhood used to be RRjunior (I)'s favourite show when he was 2.5 years old. My favourite episode was Stop and Go Potty. "When you have to go potty, stop and go right away. Flush and wash and be on your way". It teaches kids to stop playing when they need to go to the toilet. In fact, most of the kids love tiger, isn't it?
Being a doctor involves a lot of problem solving, logic, and reasoning. This show is about a little girl who is inspired by her doctor mother to open up playhouse clinic for her stuffed animals and toys. That gives the show a chance to teach kids about health and hygiene topics, and addresses their fear of the doctor by explaining with the check up process and tools.
*** This show was also one of RRjunior (I)'s favourite when he was 2 years old. Yes! It's kind of a girl show but the main character sends good messages to the kids about being healthy and also not to feel afraid when we seek a Doctor. Plus, this show encourage kids to help each other whenever they can
The stories in this show are simple and sweet. Just a five year-old girl and her nine year-old brother, using their imaginations to enjoy themselves.

Dora is a main character who also introduces Spanish words, kids are asked to repeat with them/ sing along with songs incorporating the words. This show teaches kids about numbers, directions, colours, and shapes as they help Dora solve riddles and puzzles along her way. Plus, one of the key aspects of Dora's character is her empathy; she cares, shares, and helps others even Swiper the fox who is constantly stealing other characters' stuff
