OT: Moving on from baby tv programmes

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had success moving their child onto older childrens tv programmes?

who is thirteen shortly, still watches Ben and Holly, Peppa Pig etc. I know they are good programmes and they have taught him loads but we have to ensure they don't become an obsession and I feel he could move on now.

Our speech therapist year ago said that they watch what they can cope with intellectually, however, I am pretty sure that with it goes back to what he knows rather than what else is available. It is one of the few things he will still have a major strop over if we try showing him other things on television.

Those of you with older children, what programmes do your children watch? That would at least give us a guide.

Many thanks
