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 -- 2020 -- Netflix

Trash Truck

Hank is a six-year-old boy whose best friend is a giant talking trash truck. The first episode is about friendship and wanting to fly. Loud vehicle sounds and the truck's size are the main thing that may stick. Netflix AU may list this as Giant Jack in some views; we keep the title Trash Truck.

Trash Truck arrives with engine rumble, beeps, and metal-on-bin sounds. It is friendly vehicle noise, but it is big and sudden in a quiet neighbourhood.

Theme. Real-world truck sound on a cartoon still startles. The character is kind; the volume can still be a lot.

What to say. Start a notch quieter than usual. You might say: 'That is a big truck sound -- we can make our watching quieter than the street.'
