That show is for babies
My son is 6 and his best friend is also six. They are in the same Senior Kindergarten class and live in the same apartment building. This friend has a brother who is a young teenager. My son's sisters are grown and out of the house.
Here in Toronto we have a cable network called Treehouse which is geared toward younger kids. There are a few shows for the really young (Barney-esque) but most shows are geared for 4-7 year olds. My son loves shows like Timothy Goes to School and Backyardigans which air on this channel. He also occasionally watches the network YTV which is geared toward tweens--kid from 9 to 12. It has advertising, where Treehouse does not. He now knows how to spell Barbie. Goody. On this network he watches Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a few others.
But we have a problem. Our son's friend won't watch Treehouse because he says that it is for babies. And of course our son doesn't want to be labeled as a baby! So when they are together there is often a bit of a fight about what to watch.
So I step in and choose the show I would most want to watch (of the childrens shows). Usually that is a show on Treehouse as I don't particularly enjoy fighting shows or the Simpsons. I dearly love a show called "Rollie Pollie Ollie" about a family of round people who live in a round house and live next to a family of square people who live in a square house. But I digress.
Our young friend seems to be struggling with this. Obviously if it is something I will watch, it isn't "for babies". But if he watches it, and enjoys it, his brother might say he is a baby. So generally what happens is he will agree to watch it because he has no choice, saying "well ok but it's not my favorite".
I'm lousy with the peer pressure thing. I know our son has to learn how to deal with it on his own, but he loves to please his family and friends so this is a real struggle for him.
Im open to suggestions.

Programs, centers, institution etc are made for children’s of different age. Off these children enjoy in his holidays would be spending time watching television. Hence if programs are made to enhance the growth of the child is good. Many children would sometimes miss the school class to watch their favorite program. This should be periodically cared by their parents to keep necessary limit on the schedule. Many channels are dedicated for this purpose for children only.
