Screen time can be a touchy subject. Some parents have strict rules about whether or not they allow their children to use screens—and whether or not there are time limits or other restrictions if they do. Others are more lenient. Experts err on the stricter side, with the American Academy of Pediatrics, for example, advising against screen time for children under 18 months (except for video chatting) and an hour max of high-quality programming for children 2 and older.

But digging deeper, does the pacing of the shows you choose for your kids matter? There are slow-paced shows like Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which many parents of young children watched themselves as kids, and the more modern Daniel Tiger. And then there's…Cocomelon.

Cocomelon will have the sounds of constant giggling and repetitive nursery rhyme-style jams about manners, bathtime, and everything in between stuck in your head for days. But it seems that kids are obsessed, and you love seeing your child happy. You may also need some time to make dinner or just a good old-fashioned break, and screen time can help make that happen.

The problem? Some children may love Cocomelon a bit too much.

Compared to other children's shows, Cocomelon is extremely fast paced. The average show changes scenes every 5 seconds, while Cocomelon changes scenes every 2-3 seconds. This combined with the bright color and constant moving within scenes easily overstimulates kids, and can get them addicted. Addictions are never good, but they are especially bad to have at such a young age.
