Only the public broadcaster can save us from the iPad baby
The new season of 'Kabam!' addresses children's fears in a warm, relatable way, contrasting with the negative impact of excessive screen time on kids. The series emphasizes the importance of imagination in overcoming fears, while also critiquing the rise of 'iPad babies' who are overstimulated by non-educational content. Dutch children's programming is praised for its quality and ability to tackle real issues without being patronizing. The public broadcaster plays a crucial role in producing content that is not driven by algorithms, but recent budget cuts threaten this quality. The hope is that 'Kabam!' continues to air and inspire children positively.
