I never thought I would let my child watch Barney. Not that it's not a good show, I just planned to have her watch very little television in her early years. We bought her a small barney soft toy after her 12 month shots...well she has made the connection BIG TIME and now when she wants Barney on, she will pick up her one, march to the television and stomp her feet for Barney. She only pays attention to the songs so I guess it's not too bad because she's not "watching" it.
Today though, I couldn't get over how much she has learned from the show in the few times she's seen it. She'll copy the dances and actions. I'm still not for a 14 month old watching television BUT considering she's learning something as she goes I can't really fault the big purple dinosaur.
It has also added a new thing for us. I am a mother who will dance around the kitchen with my child and now Barney comes too. She will hold one of his hands, I hold the other and we dance in a circle. :)
