Should I sit with them?

Plan to sit with them at least until 5. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.

TV series -- 2018 -- Netflix

Llama Llama

Based on Anna Dewdney's books. Llama Llama is a small llama who lives with Mama Llama. The first Netflix episode is a double bill: Llama and Grandpa race the Fast Forward Derby, then Llama loses a tooth and retraces his steps with Mama. Rushing, missing something, and worry -- not scares.

00:02:40Loud Noisesmild

Scooter wheels, derby bustle, and zoom-zoom energy fill the first segment. It is cheerful town noise, but it arrives as hurry rather than calm play.

Theme. Rushing sound can wind a body up before the race even starts. The load is pace, not a mean character.

What to say. Lower the volume a notch and say: 'They are getting ready fast. We can watch this slower than they are moving.'
