Russian psychologists compiled a rating of the most harmful cartoon for the psyche of children, Planet today said.
The leading line of this rating is headed by the bright series “Masha and the Bear”. Experts say that the cartoon can be a bad example for kids who can adopt Masha’s habits, for example, start to behave badly and be capricious, not realizing that they are doing bad things.
A little lower in the ranking was the cartoon "Monster High". According to the compilers of the rating in this story, the main characters (students of the School of Monsters) behave too relaxed, allow themselves to skip classes, regularly using slang jargon. This fact may adversely affect the child’s vocabulary.
On the third step of the rating, SpongeBob settled with his square pants. Psychologists emphasized that the "Yellow Sponge" manifests itself in the role of an egoist, regularly criticizing the actions of adult characters.
The well-known animated series “Tom and Jerry” took fourth place, where under the scrutiny of specialists, a mouse scoffed at a cat! According to them, one can regard the behavior on the screen as an attempt at the inappropriate attitude of children to adults.
By the way, the cartoon "Masha and the Bear" has gained popularity among a young audience not only in Russia, but is also successfully perceived by the inhabitants of Italy, Germany, Indonesia, the UK and even the countries of the East. It is clear that the eastern girls fell in love with Masha because she always appears in the frame in a handkerchief.
The official date of the cartoon is 2009. In Russia, it is broadcast on the channel "Culture" and "Carousel", as scenes involved in the program "Good night, kids."
I completely agree with the previous speaker! My son is already 12 years old, I want to add that I just need to communicate more with my children! We grew up on our cartoons, including Masha and the Bear. Looking through a new series, we discussed the behavior of the heroes. Of course there were attempts to adopt some behavior, especially my son liked the series about the first of September, remember how Masha was “flattened” at the break ?! Over the course of about a week, I had to calmly tell my son that it wasn’t worth it (mom’s head hurts, feel sorry for the neighbors, it's only in cartoons that little children behave like that, etc.) and we outgrew it.
You just have to be careful and patient with your child! Your children will grab different habits and patterns of behavior and will do this not only from cartoons, but your work will give them an assessment and educate children on their own example to the world.
Another example from my life (if you will allow me) when I was a child, we had a neighbor who talked exclusively obscene, but my sister and I would not accept this, because our parents at one time made us understand that these are not the words that it’s worth consuming, but they don’t choose neighbors, and indeed each person decides whether he wants to be considered a swindler or a polite person.
