Watch an episode of Sailor Moon that is typical of what a toddler or prepubescent child might watch. As you watch the episode, simply use the attached chart to count the number of negative comments, put-downs, and offensive remarks you hear on the show. Then count each time you hear a positive, kind or friendly comment on the show. For each tally, note down the phrases you heard on the show. Add up the number of times you responded in each column.
Then answer, “As a parent, what effect do you feel these shows can affect your child’s behavior? What action will you take as a parent/caregiver of a child when it comes to watching television shows/cartoons?
