Children’s shows that emphasise loud music, intense colours and fast-paced scenes could be making it harder for children to focus and self-regulate, according to studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s led more parents to seek low-stimulation \u2014 or “slow TV” \u2014 options for their kids.<\/p>\n

But what are low-stimulation shows?<\/p>\n

They are typically defined by their slow pace and limited use of intense music or sounds.<\/p>\n

They aim to engage children in entertainment by highlighting play, creativity and learning in real-world settings.<\/p>\n

We’ve pulled together a collection of gentle ABC Kids shows you can stream on ABC iview.<\/p>\n
