PAW Patrol S3-9
Whenever there’s trouble in Adventure Bay, Ryder and his team of fearless pups are right there, solving the problem and saving the day! This is one of the most popular programmes around for younger kids.
Commonsense Media says: “Perhaps the show’s best attribute is how it demonstrates the value of thoughtful problem-solving. Do these pups jump to action so quickly that they’re trying to outdo each other with their own versions of a rescue? No, they don’t. Do they squabble among themselves over whose role in the rescue is the most important? Nope. (Can you tell where this is headed?) Instead they take a moment to collect their thoughts, identify the skills best suited to the job, and support each other’s efforts, if only in verbal encouragement. Your tots may not be scaling tall buildings to rescue a neighbor anytime soon, but these same skills can help them tackle smaller stuff like cleaning up messes or resolving squabbles with siblings as well.”
