If you have a small child - I highly recommend letting them watch Maddie on the BBC

It's a series of documentaries aimed at toddlers and very young children, and is very effective at imparting knowledge in a very engaging way.

Now some of this might be due to my youngest one watching kit and pup (also BBC) as 1 year old as it essentially teaches kids the scientific method - but this Maddie - 'do you know' TV show has seriously upgraded my toddlers brain.

A recent example.

I'm putting my 2.5 year old to bed, she asks for a story so I start to make one up about an acorn growing on a tree...

At one point I say
"And then the roots of the tree took the water from the soil"

And the tiny human interrupts me with:
"No daddy, the roots don't take water..."

(Great, I think, my child is retarded and contrary)

"Yes they do darling" I reply

"No, the water goes out of the leaves then the water from the branch moves to replace it, then other water moves to replace that, Maddie said so"

I don't know why you got down voted so much but Maddie's Do You Know is really good.

Getting downvoted a bunch is to be expected anytime the OP mentions he loves a BBC.
