At first, I thought Caillou was great. While I prepared dinner, it kept my daughter occupied. My suggestion to all parents, give them something else to do! My daughter, who is now 2 1/2, has watched Caillou since she was about one. Now, she has been imitating his poor behavior! i could not figure it out! The two girls she plays with are very well behaved. And finally, one day after her swimming lesson, I allowed her to watch him as I prepared lunch. During the episode, Caillou's parents were having a dinner party. Caillou and his sister were to go to bed (as Caillou's parents hired a babysitter to do this! UNBELIEVABLE!) Not sure about the rest of you, but my husband and I do not hire a sitter, when it's time for our child to go to bed! Caillou carried on screaming with his annoying whine, "I don't want to!" Guess what-my daughter will not stop saying "I don't want to!" Well that is the end of that! Caillou is no longer allowed in our home! When my daughter asks, I keep telling her that Caillou is a very bad boy, and she is no longer allowed to watch him! SHAME ON YOU PBS! With such wonderful educational shows created in the past, I would have never dreamed to have to monitor your shows! I was wrong! SEX AND THE CITY teaches better manners!
