I'll have to look at this programme - my Son insisted on watching it on his tv yesterday. Can't help with your problem though - except to say that I always try the distraction method. I would try and look for something to do which she loves when the programme finishes so it takes her mind of the end of the prog it if at all possible. If my son wants to watch something and he can't be budged though we might want to go out - I say I'll record it for him. Sometimes I do but whether I do or not he often forgets I have and doesn't bother to watch when we come back in again provided there have been many distractions in between.

bettybiscuit123 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 Had to laugh when I read this, as my 4 year old son is EXACTLY the same!!! He is soooo obsessed with it too, always wanting it on and getting really upset when it isnt. All he talks about lately is pinky ponks and ninky nonks (the sort of train thingy and plane thingy in the programme!!!) I have been recording episodes of it on sky + box and put it on in times of desparation!! from chantel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peppa Report post Posted April 21, 2007 Been through the Peppa pig thing,got all the toys aswell!! she still likes Dora the explorer too tho!she talks and counts in spanish better than she can actually talk!!! Know what you mean. weve got everything peppa too, got bed spread tuesday, don't know if its going to be a good or bad thing though as she doesn't want to get out of the bed in the morning unless she can bring pillow with her, but she's really eager to go to bed on a night. You wouldn't believe the stuff she's learnt from it though so its not all bad, she's just getting into Dora and Diego, keeps telling me animal facts and wanting me to buy her an animal science book!! Could be worse though! at least its one way of getting something done around the house without a cling on!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
