My toddler is addicted to Cocomelon:

This isn’t a funny post. My 2yo old daughter had become addicted to Cocomelon and at first I didn’t think much of it. She would ask for Coco constantly and stayed glued to the TV. Initially I allowed this because I had a bab
and having an infant attached to my body made interacting with my toddler nearly impossible. Of course everything else that comes with a new baby is also a factor. I would estimate that we watched
Cocomelon for at least 3 hours a day. The TV was NOT on all day. After a couple months I recognized she was becoming increasingly agitated when Coco was not on. She would throw tantrums that would sometimes involve hitting her head with her fist. At this point
reduced Coco time to only a few minutes before breakfast (so I could cook and because it’s the first thing she asks for when she wakes up). My baby is 5 months old now and about a month ago (after I was getting sleep and more able to interact with both of them) I decided it was time to cut off Coco. It’s been a whole month of ZERO Cocomelon in this house and her head hitting tantrums have stopped, BUT SHE STILL ASKS FOR COCO ALL THE TIME! If that’s not a sign of addiction, I don’t know what is:
