Disney films
Okay so I suddenly feel like a bad mum. I know I’m not.. but in this aspect.
So I’ve a 2.5 year old who has the TV on 24/7 - not literally, we go out daily and she also goes to nursery x4 a week but when home, it’s on.
It used to be a range of programs she’d watch, ms Rachel, tractor ted, waffle dog etc but recently peppa has been her comfort and her go to so she watches.
The ONLY Disney princess film she’s watched and likes is Moana. She’s watched a bit of Cinderella and to be honest think that’s it. No frozen, no mermaid etc.
Then I see all these videos online of their kids constantly wearing Disney princess dresses, how they’ll be sad when it stops etc etc. my daughter doesn’t even have any as she never watches 😭😭😭
Am I being a bad mum by not putting them on for her more??? Instead of peppa I might subscribe to Disney+ so I can chuck that on for her instead?
Thoughts please. What age did your daughter get into all the princesses? I feel this is maybe prime time??

My daughter loves princesses and basically gets no screen time, we read the books, she has a little people princess castle, she has the Yoto cards. I wouldn’t jump to screen time. I would also follow their own interests, my daughter has always been a princess dress, glittery fairy kind of child, naturally by herself, if your daughter isn’t then that’s fine.
My son knows most TV things from books, I don’t think you need to get Disney+ to introduce her! My boy doesn’t watch Peppa pig but knows lots of characters from the books. The original of some of the films like 1950’s Cinderella and 1930’s Snow White are on YouTube, which is what my son watches instead of the new ones anyway x
