When you need to bring down the energy.
, has a more precise definition of calm. "What does it mean for a child to be 'calm'?" Dr. Egger asks. "Being calm means being able to manage stressors, cope with challenges, and manage emotions, particularly big feelings.
To that end, says Egger, "TV shows that focus on emotion identification, validation, and management will foster your child's capacity to be calm. Shows that focus on emotion awareness and emotion regulation will support a child's emotional development. The best shows focus on supporting the child's emotions, not overwhelming the child's emotions. They also consider the child's developmental capacities.
"Screen time to enable a child to calm down/to center is totally appropriate," says Egger. "On the other hand, it is not recommended that parents use TV shows to put children to sleep. Children should not have screens in their bedrooms. Screen use before bedtime is associated with children having more difficulty falling and staying asleep. Bedtime routines should focus on reading, singing, and cuddling.
"Shows that are loud and noisy, with flashing lights and colors, and have fast-moving, frenetic, and rapid-fire narratives are not calming," says Egger. "Shows that engage the child in activity might actually help a child to get their 'wiggles out' and become centered. This will depend on your child's temperament. Shows that engage the child in calming activities like breathing or yoga may also be calming.
