This is a fact. D.W. acted her age, while Arthur's whole thing is learning new things, he should have known better most times. He was 8 and D.W. was 4. 4 year olds can be really fucking smart, but not really understand basic things. 8 Year olds should generally be able to regulate their anger.

Honestly she makes a good point. Arthur was talking mad shit about his model airplane and Dw simply put his shit to the test and Arthur couldn't handle being proven wrong.

>>149065921
Can 4 year olds understand that NO means NO?
Can they understand what "Don't touch it" means?

>>149066311
Yes and no. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "terrible twos" it's not really only at age two but a range between 2 and 4 (and sometimes more), where they start testing boundaries. In my experience, tantrums range from 2-3, and the boundary testing continues until 4. You say no, they understand what you've told them, but they don't understand "why." If they weren't mentally invested in it, the "no" sticks. If they were invested they still get it, but they they seek to do whatever it is to experience why they shouldn't.
It's very much like kids getting burned. You tell them not to touch the hot thing, you might even tell them why, but they still do it.
If I tell a 4 year old not to play with their older sibling's toy. They'll stop right away or boundary push right then and there. Also they'll completely forget about you telling them not to play with it in 30 minutes.

>>149066388
They need a firm correction.

>>149066408
Corrections do need to be firm, the problem is everyone has a different definition of what firm is. One thing is important, imparting to them at all moments even when you're being firm, that they are safe and loved.
Firm for me involves kneeling down, one hand on their shoulder speaking sternly while wagging my finger. A far cry from my father who didn't hesitate to use his spank me or use the belt when I was older.

>>149066427

The older I get the more I think all problems should be solved with violence.

Robot chicken could do this but actually go out on showing what we want to see, this little cunt getting her ass handed to her.

It has been some time since I last watched this episode - did the parents ever talk to DW?
I mean she didn't deserve to get punched and I will admit, Arthur was in the wrong. But did the parents ever pull DW aside and talk to her about not breaking things, tell her she did wrong, should have listened to Arthur when he told her not to.... Like anything at all?

I just remember Arthur punching DW, him getting in trouble, and then Binky punches him.

>>149065821
>Has an original point of view!
I love that line, I often think of it to try to avoid feeling cynical or negative about the people around me.

>>149065921
DW is 4 and she can't read? Is her gimmick that she's retarded? Kids should be able to read picture books BY 3. You point at the word as you read it to a baby and it sets in, it's not that complicated.

You obviously don't know what you're on about. 4ish is when they start learning their phonics which leads to reading. Being phonics focused has been a more recent thing. In the 90s it wasn't uncommon that 5 year olds in the 1st grade couldn't read yet.

Don't project unto him, he's far from Autistic. He is social, communicates and plays well with other kids. Furthermore autism does not excuse punching your four year old sister, no matter how much she annoys you. She's a 4 year old doing 4 year old things.

Girls are weak as hell to physical pain. They try to claim childbirth means they're tougher, but the body releases endorphins specifically for that event so the pain is HIGHLY muted. Any other pain/injury they have that men also have, they suck at taking it.

I don't think it is PBS' fault, I think it is a reaction to how many moral panics kids entertainment/society have had.
>Comics had the comics code authority
>Video games violence
>Satanic panic over music, DnD etc
Society reaches a point where the only acceptable form of kids entertainment is so fucking mind numbing and passive that parents can't complain about the messaging. Instead parents complain because the repetitive nature of the shit and the blandess wants to make you put screwdrives in your brain. The message of never fight back is the only message parents will allow otherwise they will complain like fuck.

>>149067051
The secret is that all problems, all of them, can be solved with judicious application of violence. Violence is ALWAYS an answer, its just shouldn't always be the first answer. Anyone who tries to convince you that violence, and the inherent meritocratic elements regular violence brings with it, is never an answer is someone who seeks power over you by way of some authority they likely didn't earn and cannot be challenged for.
Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived, the tricky part is finding the balance of its application.

>>149074486
>You're just bitter younger siblings. DW was wrong 90% of the time and pretty awful. Arthur was quite chill and nice.
You're a fucking cunt and you're wrong. Not only do I have two sons, I was the oldest of 4 boys. Younger siblings are mostly annoying as fuck, but it is the oldest sibling's job to be responsible. A 4 year old will be insufferable to an 8 year old, but the 8 year old needs to learn to be patient with them the same way we were patient with him when he was 4. I don't expect them to be anywhere as good, but that's how it goes. What IS important is making sure your 4 year old knows they can't always get what they want from the I year old.
>>149075151
If you say so, but experience makes me disagree. I was a kissless virgin for a long time. Arthur WAS chill and nice, except to his 4 year old sister. She's not even really a first grader yet!
>Arthur learns no lesson because he is blatantly told off and watches others get away with it.
This is the reality of life. You parent your kid, not other people. Other people getting away with things does not make it acceptable for you to do it as well. My 6 year old notices and asks about that
>But X and Y's parents let them do it
Your mom and I aren't X or Y's parents. You'll see many people doing things that YOU know are wrong, or we won't like. We don't think it's ok, and it is important to us that you always do the right thing.

>>149065921
Oh dadanon, what is some advice you'd give to a soon to be first time parent and how can i avoid my kids growing up to be a huge nerd like arthur?

>>149078964
I don't have a four year old, I have a 3 and 6 year old. No, it is not just OUR responsibility. The older kid HAS to learn responsibility and picking his battles. That includes putting your toys where your younger brother cannot reach and of course not punching your little brother because he did something that is to be expected of someone his age.
>>149078979
You're a fucking idiot. You don't raise boys to be men or raging assholes, you raise boys to be GOOD men. That means you teach them to give a shit about others, but it also means being able to protect and defend yourself and the people you care about. Know what battles are worth fighting and which ones are inconsequential. One of the consequences of being the older one is that he will ALWAYS have to look out for his younger brother, even when we're dead and gone.
>>149079109
My 6 year old (actually 5 but 6 in like 3 weeks) is reading significantly ahead of his levels. He likes cartoons and videogames and scratch programming. He's already into nerdy shit, so I don't know if I can give advice on that. We do have him in multiple activities though. Swimming, soccer, tennis, piano and judo. His only days without those activities are Fridays and Saturdays. That won't last forever, as he gets older he'll settle on what he wants more and we'll drop activities he's not as interested in. The idea is to expose him to as much as possible and let him pick what he wants of course when he's older he'll have to do sailing because wife and I fucking love sailing and I'd love to have it as a family activity. The plan is to do all the same things for the 3 year old (technically 2, but 3 in five weeks). You cannot stop them from being nerdy if that's who they are. Just make sure you teach them, care for them and let them know you love them even when they are being little shits and you have to be firm with them (ESPECIALLY when you're being angry or firm with them).

>>149079200
When they WANT them, they WILL find a way to reach them, and who'll get the blame for the results?

>>149079109
Get them into at least one (outdoor) physical activity, and one social activity. They could be the same thing like being part of a sports team or boy scouts. But the most important thing is to build experiences in multiple areas. It doesn't matter how dorky they are as long as they learn how to read the room.

>>149063644

>>149079429
>get the blame for the results
Nobody gets the blame. Fault and blame are usually synonymous, in this situation are very different things. A 4 year old doing 4 year old things should not resort to blame, or getting hit. You tell the older kid, yeah that sucks, I'll replace it and you tell the 4 year old, you're not supposed to play with things your older sibling can't share with you. Then you make the 4 year old apologize and move on with your life. If the older kid hits the younger one, it doesn't get replaced and he gets a stern talking to for going over the top.

A lesson you should really take to hard is that life is less often about being right and wrong and more about how you handle being either. Arthur was not wrong in his anger, he was wrong in how he responded and it's more important that he learn how to control his anger lest it control him.

>>149085684
Gonna elaborate with a personal anecdote because it's quite relevant here. Family was visiting a family friend, my brother (8) and I (9) were sleeping in their guest room/office. I found picrel, thought it was neat. Family friend said it was broken, but I could keep it if I could fix it. I worked for like an hour, figured out what was wrong, fixed it. Felt proud, got a cool new gadget because of my own industriousness. Brother was jealous. As we were leaving the next morning, he asked to see it. Now, I can't prove that he purposely slammed it to the ground instead of just dropping it, but that's what I saw. It was now broken beyond repair. My parents promised to replace it; besides the fact that I knew that they were lying (they only ever made things up to him, like when he lost his Gameboy), that wasn't the point. It wouldn't be the one I fixed. The lesson was pretty simple: hard work, ingenuity, didn't matter. Who you are matters more. Driven home a few years later when I accidentally broke his glass chess set (he left it out where it fell victim to a wild weeby swing from a newly purchased wooden sword) and I was immediately forced to give him mine.

Fast forward, brother is highly-paid engineer (amorally, building bombs) and I'm here. Sometimes I wonder where I'd be if my parents had supported me the way they'd supported my siblings, and if I'd had that little piece of proof that I could literally make things work, to hold in my hand when times got tough.

>>149086160

What season did Arthur start going downhill? I'm thinking of marathoning the series, but only the good seasons.

>>149063594 (OP)
I think Arthur might have upsold that a little

>>149105835
It's a slow downhill path between the different eras of animation styles and Arthur voices, almost unnoticeable, until it shifts to flash animation (season 16). Still a worthwhile show by the end.
>Classic (1-5)
>Classic 2000s (6-12)

I have yet to see anyone prove DW wrong

>>149074551
Yeah, I couldn't believe that ep of Curious George where George beat the man in the big yellow hat unconscious.

I never watched this show just the memes, isn't DW supposed to be smart? She's younger than her brother and knows some facts about the X1, somehow she's stupid enough to throw a toy/model and expect it to fly like a real plane? also I can swear she can't read

>>149081588

The following year catches DW in his room, once again looking to play with a rocket model he made. Maybe she'll learn this time...


Peeking into her brother's room, the coast looked clear. DW entered, and started tip-toeing towards Arthur's study desk and her ultimate goal, when the door closed and locked behind her. Spinning, she saw her big brother leaning back against it, with his arms crossed and a mild glare on his face.

"I KNEW you'd sneak in here eventually. Couldn't stay away from my new rocket model, huh?" her brother growled. DW panicked, and took a couple steps back. "W-w-what are you doing back? You're supposed to be going to Buster's house!" she squawked. Stepping towards her, Arthur said "Buster's sick, and can't have company, so here I am. So you're in luck" he said, reaching for his belt buckle. "I've got a rocket you can play with..."

>>149120761
I dunno if she was actually said to be smart in-universe (it might just be the writing making her smarter for comedy because a literal preschooler wouldn't be as funny), but yeah in the show she does typically come off as weirdly smart for a 4/5-year-old, like being able to trick people older than her etc. Probably it's just the standard cartoon trope of trying to balance her being pretty aware/articulate for her age with still having childish beliefs like expecting the plane to really fly, but arguably this episode is one of the instances where it doesn't really feel believable

DW is smart for a little kid...but she's still a dumb little kid. She's not friggin Lisa Simpson.

>>149121556
I remember hearing about this guy's death a few years ago and at the time it disturbed me on like a personal level because I somehow mistakenly believed he died randomly one day in an electrical fire while at home. It freaked me out on like an existential level to hear about this happening to someone I kind of knew of before this, like the thought that you could be chilling in a safe place and then just suddenly die a horrible death.

I looked up this guy and his death recently in an attempt to conquer my fear and then learned that actually he had died after fighting cancer for a while. That's still not a great situation, but it's much less random/sudden than what I was imagining and means he probably got a lot of support from his family and others at the time.

Now I have no idea where the electrical fire story that I believed came from. Was there some other weird Arthur fan who also died who I mixed him up with, or did I just completely make that up?

Anyway, RIP

Can't really punish a four year old beyond a stern talking and making them fix things. That goes out the window if they've already been hit by their older sibling because the older sibling's action a way past the point of acceptable.

You are a manipulative cunt because you apply absolute positions on Arthur and then flip and post contradictory advise before throwing out insults which you start! You're so petty it is weird. I have kids. You claim to be a father but flip flops all the time. One minute you're literally arguing for letting people getting away with stuff then the opposite.

You think one child deserves absolute punishment and don't think you should correct another child's behaviour, then you do mention correcting a child's behaviour before disagreeing with someone for saying so. It's bizarre. That's why you're a manipulative cunt. And if you do have kids, God help them. Your bipolar attitude won't help.

Correct, you should always be patient with him as well. I've never done anything but point out when he should not better and you know, not assaulting his sibling. Regardless of age that is unacceptable. It's unacceptable when they're 2, 6, 8 and whatever age you can think of.
>You don't give him the benefit of the doubt and you apply an absolute position.
To assault, yes.
>People make mistakes.
Yes, and some mistakes like punching your sister deserve punishment.
>Literally two seconds ago you said you need to let your 4 year old know they can't always get what they want and then you completely flip and decide the opposite.
It's almost like context matters or something.

Now you're just falling back on "U mad bro". Come on anon. You came into this thread insulting people, angrily decrying any other position and deciding you knew best.

Like seriously, you think I'm mad but I'm trying to calmly explain: when people talk about correcting behaviour you decide that's evil and wrong. Then later you literally mention that, then you change your mind again. And not even via different contexts, you change your position all across the thread to pretend like you have some moral high ground.

And the irony of you mentioning context is you ignore everyone else's mention of context too.

>Yes, and some mistakes like punching your sister deserve punishment.
Sure and it's almost like the situation also calls for the child to be told they can't always get what they want too. But then you'll decide that's wrong again, when two seconds ago you said it was right then wrong.

Patience regarding what? The only thing I've fucking focused on is the older kid should be more responsible which, of course, and hitting your sibling means you get punished or talked to sternly (which also fucking obviously applies to the little sibling). Seems ridiculous that I have to spell shit out for you. Maybe go back & read again.

You tell the older kid, yeah that sucks, I'll replace it and you tell the 4 year old, you're not supposed to play with things your older sibling can't share with you. Then you make the 4 year old apologize and move on with your life. If the older kid hits the younger one, it doesn't get replaced and he gets a stern talking to for going over the top.
Can you read?

>>149135018
And you accuse me of being mad when you can only throw out insults like can you read.. kek

Bro you get mad when people talk about correcting a 4 year olds behaviour before then talking about telling them they can't always get what they want, which is what people were suggesting. Before disagreeing with that position again. Go back and read your posts. You flip flop.

>Patience regarding what
You apply absolute positions on children before then changing your mind. You didn't think Arthur ever deserves any benefit of the doubt because you literally said he should ALWAYS behave a certain way:
>He should ALWAYS be patient with DW
And then all of a sudden you change your position. Arthur must always be patient? Geez that's a lot of pressure to put on a kid. You apply leeway to some children but not others. You're strict one moment then free and loose another, not even via different contexts, just depending on who you're replying to. Your application of punishment on Arthur is absolute regardless of the context. You talk about correcting a 4 year olds behaviour and then insult when other people suggest it.

Seriously, if you weren't taking other posts at the worst bad faith interpretation you wouldn't have any issues. But you accuse people of random shit throughout the thread, insult them and then practically agree with their positions! All you'll do is double down and insult again without listening to anything I'm saying. You'll take this the wrong way too but I sincerely hope you're okay because it's a bit weird.

>>149135069
>You apply absolute positions on children before then changing your mind. You didn't think Arthur ever deserves any benefit of the doubt because you literally said he should ALWAYS behave a certain way:
He should always be more responsible, he's the older kid. He should never hit either of his siblings (which obviously applies to all the siblings too). He should always be patient with DW and Kate they're not as developed and will fuck up. If he is unable to be patient he's supposed to go to his parents, not take it out on them. DW is going to have to always be patient the same way with Kate, etc.
It's amazing to me that you cannot parse simple shit. Are you buy any chance autistic?

>>149135087
>buy
by I mean

>>149135087
Kids should learn responsibility, yes, especially when it comes to younger siblings. I NEVER said anything different. But you don't treat Arthur like a child in multiple posts across this thread when he's only 8. And you don't apply this to anything else. And you've never once seem to acknowledge my point on how you attack others for wanting to parent a four year old before basically then using their suggestions later on.

So you take the worst bad faith interpretation of what I'm saying to do exactly what I said you'll do, get mad, double down, throw out insults like autistic. And anon, I really think you're projecting here because you get mad and don't understand a world anyone else is saying. It feels like you're on the spectrum because you apply absolute logic on things and you don't seem to think any other contexts exist.

I'm genuinely trying to say that no one can understand your posts because you foam at anger and insult and change positions. People were talking about parenting a four year old and you acted earlier like that was evil as if they were going to seriously punish them before you then course correct and agree with their positions on it. You can't blame people for misunderstanding you when you literally did this.

>>149135111
>But you don't treat Arthur like a child in multiple posts across this thread when he's only 8.
I treat him like an 8 year old that should know better than hitting his 4 year old sibling, anything else you're adding is either projection or your inability to parse what has been written. I said before you can't blame a 4 year old for doing 4 year old things and your assumption turned into "you can't correct or teach a 4 year old." You've taken things literally, failed to understand the meaning of succinct words and are unable to form new ideas in your head. When things get clarified for because you've already failed to understand them, you decide it is flip flopping for some reason. For the record, because you absolutely need to be spoonfed everything, you don't do anything to DW in this case because she's already been punched! Please don't have kids.

No what I'm saying is that when people talked about parenting a 4 year old earlier, you've consistently acted like you can't do shit to parent a four year old and acted like people wanted to seriously punish a four year old, which is not what they said, before far later in the thread you changed positions and agreed with them. That's a flip flop, no doubt about it.

You missed the point again to double down on attacking me accusing me of misunderstanding (when you've proven you can't understand a thing) and now you're being spiteful and telling me not to have kids. I have kids and I even effectively parent my younger kids because I understand how to, but you don't seem to get that. It's rather spiteful and evil of you anon to behave this way.

>>149135172
My position on 4 year olds this entire fucking thread has come down to two things.
1. You can't blame a 4 year old for doing 4 year old things (fault and blame are different things).
2. You can still teach and correct your 4 year old.
I just cannot believe you can be this stupid.

>>149135144
>you don't do anything to DW in this case because she's already been punched
Huh? After punishing Arthur you should absolutely explain to DW that wrecking someone's stuff can make them mad so she can avoid it in future. Otherwise she might do it to a stranger or another kid. Otherwise all Arthur sees is himself being punished and all DW sees is the same.

>>149135183
>Huh? After punishing Arthur you should absolutely explain to DW that wrecking someone's stuff can make them mad so she can avoid it in future. Otherwise she might do it to a stranger or another kid. Otherwise all Arthur sees is himself being punished and all DW sees is the same.
Really? You don't think getting punched and feeling pain was not enough? You also think when the child is weeping from both pain and shock is when you're supposed to correct them?

>>149135182

You've actually been really inconsistent at applying this, retard.

>>149135194
>You also think when the child is weeping from both pain and shock is when you're supposed to correct them?
Holy fuck what? I never said that. Why are you putting words in my mouth? I'm saying that: kids need to understand the process and series of events. You're expecting a four year old to instantly intuit what happened, take the pain and understand it. I'm saying that some time after you need to explain why Arthur did what he did. You seem to think DW will magically understand just because she got punched?

>>149135203
>spelled out every time?y
You post things to the contrary then circle back. Maybe don't do that next time.

>>149135203
>It should also be patently obvious that DW's intent was NOT to wreck. She actually legit though tit would fly
So you don't think you should try to explain sometime after that she should understand not to touch things other people have?

Okay, and when your kid consistently keeps wrecking stuff other people have what do you do then? A simple explainer is something even kids can understand by saying, what if you threw their toys around and they broke.

Asking first and learning to share is basic stuff, anon.

Holy shit I hated this show

>>149135221
Here are the steps in a 4 year olds brain
1. She ASSUMED she did Arthur a favor by pointing out his toy was not working
2. Arthur hit her.
3. She now knows the toy was broken because of her expectations.
4. She also now knows that Arthur was mad because his toy was broken.
5. Arthur has toys she's not allowed to play with because she might damage them
She gets it, you don't need to bring it up again. She won't throw another toy plane out of a window.
>>149135227
Try using a few more neurons whenever you read.
>>149135239
Not really, you can if you want, but to a 4 year old it would seem arbitrary. "why am I allowed to touch some of the toy's Arthur plays with, but not others." In this situation, she now realizes, that if Arthur requests that she not touch something, she ought to leave it alone. You can't go through the house identifying every to she can or cannot touch, it is a case by case basis. I tell my older son that it is his responsibility to put things he doesn't want his younger brother to reach in places his younger brother cannot reach. He is more than welcome to ask for help on that. He should also communicate what he's not allowed to play with.
When my six year old cried because my four year old broke one of his toys, I replaced it at a later date, but he (4) also realized he'd upset his older brother. He cried about it as well and wanted hugs from his older brother (who wasn't keen on giving them to him because he was rightly upset).
Kids are dumb and smart, they fuck up, but can intuit where they've fucked up. I didn't need to tell the 4 year old he fucked up, he now overzealously returns that specific toy to his older sibling whenever he sees it anywhere.

>>149135324
>She gets it, you don't need to bring it up again.
Why are you acting like confirming she gets it is wrong? Or that adding the context and having the conversation is wrong?

Also you made a wild strawman to accuse me of wanting to instantly correct her when she is in shock, which is not what I said.

I can see why that other anon had such a problem with you anon, are you trolling me?

Do you understand the difference between both words? I'll break it down since your brain is deficient. You don't have to bring it up, but you can if you want. In fact, if you watch the episode, the parents say, they'll deal with DW later, but they need him to apologize for hitting her.
>Also you made a wild strawman to accuse me of wanting to instantly correct her when she is in shock, which is not what I said.
That's on me. I was too used to people in this thread being extreme simpletons.

>>149135324
>I didn't need to tell the 4 year old he fucked up
You're assuming kids will always get it and don't seem to want to find out if they do or not. A singular example does not mean they will always get it. I don't see why you're so against a simple explainer. It isn't arbitrary either, if you speak on their level. I've explained it to kids before fine.

How else am I supposed to interpret this? You're saying the pain is enough then accusing me of wanting to correct a shocked child and now at least you're admitting it's on you that you did this. Because I never said that.

Seriously you are not clear at all, I just came ITT. You should bring it up again to check, it's really not a big deal and sure you said you can if you want but then you offer examples to claim that you don't really need to. That's not how parenting works and sometimes it's best to check and like you pointed out, even Arthur's parents said they'd deal with DW later, which is something you think is unnecessary but people can if they want to.

At least you expanded your point in the second half of the post. People misunderstand you anon because you start with a hostile strawman and then later explain your points like here. It's dumb.

You're right, I'll just write seven paragraphs next time because people don't understand basic shit.

>>149135534
it's hard to understand basic shit when you accuse people of random stuff they didn't say.

>>149135542
Anon it is pointless, I literally said in my posts the guy flip flops. He says the pain is enough then changes position to say you can if you want to before also saying it's pointless. He's retarded.

>>149128860
Especially for you, Anon!

Sally won the Arthurbowl.

DW deserved the punch not because she broke the plane, but because she didn't even apologize and instead put the blame on Arthur and insulted him by saying he did a poor job of building it.

Unpopular opinion: Arthur is better than Hey Arnold.

He doesn't draw Arthur shit anymore

>Arthur's about 8, yet I always felt like he was a pre-teen
>my nephew turned 11 this year, yet I see him as a slightly bigger baby, his 8 year old sister as a big baby, and his 4 year old sister as a baby
Wonder why that is

>>Arthur's about 8, yet I always felt like he was a pre-teen
Retarded maybe? I mean the characters can't go 5 minutes without mentioning the grade they're in. Something should have stuck with you by then.

>>149142996
Know what? Fuck you.

>What season did Arthur start going downhill?
Which ever one the dog and the baby started talking to each other.

>>149105835
Arthur honestly had a graceful fall compared to other long running shows with over 20 seasons. The show still remained mostly in tacked even with the animation changes. There were still some shitty episodes like>>149143191 but not enough to tank the series as a whole.

Could also be partly because they started having shorter seasons.

>>149063644
This had to have been on purpose

>>149143389
Yeah, it ended when it started to get bad instead of trying to hold on and become horrible..
