Snowfl has some pretty good results (note the addition of the keyword
complete). But you can do a lot better than Paw Patrol! "Bluey", "The Owl House", "Hilda", and "Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts" are all far better choices for kids and your own sanity ;-)Parents know those other shows are better, but I am more likely to be asked to put on Paw Patrol than Bluey and my toddler doesn't ever ask for Hilda. Kids have their own tastes, and it is impossible to shield them from everything you don't want them to watch. Thankfully, everyone I know agrees Cocomelon is harmful garbage and off limits, so I've been able to avoid that completely.
I haven't been so lucky. Grandma gave our first child both a phone and a tablet before she was 2 (against our wishes) and lets her have full unsupervised access to whatever she wants to watch. My wife now is a stay at home mom to keep Grandma's influence limited (she also plays fast and loose with regards to safety)
But back on topic, we usually ask the kids what they want to watch, and if we feel they've been watching too much trash television we'll say "let's watch something on PBS Kids" and let them pick something on PBS to watch (because that's our go to for higher quality kids content) so about 70% of their screen time is on high quality content and the other 30% is their choice.
