Is Children’s Television Programming Helping or Hurting? Our Own Kelsey Dressel Weighs In on KARE 11
In today’s digital world, children’s shows like CoComelon and Ms. Rachel have become household names—delighting toddlers with bright visuals and catchy songs. But are these popular programs truly supporting healthy development, or could they be doing more harm than good?
That’s the question KARE 11 Sunrise explored in a recent segment featuring our very own Kelsey Dressel, child and family therapist here at Blossom Whole Family Therapy & Child Psychology Center. Kelsey joined the conversation to offer expert insight into how fast-paced, overstimulating content can affect attention, sensory processing, and early brain development.
The segment dives into what today’s parents need to know about screen time, how to recognize the signs of overstimulation, and why balancing digital media with real-world interaction is key.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or educator, this is an important conversation worth tuning into. We’re so proud to see Kelsey sharing her thoughtful, compassionate expertise on such an essential topic.
