How Doraemon is Damaging the Modern Kids ?
For Best Reading Experience, Checkout the Original Article HERE.
Stop! Before you make a second guess, let me be clear that I don’t support anyone who says “Don’t watch Doraemon” or “Stop watching Doraemon”. Like all other kids who were born in the 90s, Doraemon is one of the first cartoon shows that I used to watch as a kid.
But, recently when I was watching Doraemon, I pointed out something that I think is a very serious issue and everyone needs to know about it. So, here in this post I have discussed the problem along with its solution. Hope you find it valuable.

Negative Side of Doraemon
Let me begin with how it all happened. So the fact to consider is that there lives a kid in my neighbourhood, his age is approximately 9–10, who came to my house recently. Luckily, I didn’t had much stuff to do that day, and so I decided to watch his favourite show with him in order to pass the free time. His favourite show turned out to be Doraemon.
That day we watched a total of 8 episodes of Doraemon and as the episodes were progressing, I pointed out a devastating issue which has the ability to mentally harm the modern generations. Let me be clear that I don’t really have an issue with Doraemon, rather I have issue with the lead character of the show, Nobita. I pointed out that the personality of this character is so vulnerable and negatively impacting that it is impacting the minds of the modern kids in a negative way.
Now you can imagine that if a kid under 12, whose brain is still in the developing phase, keeps watching such character repeatedly throughout the day then what sort of impact is it going to have on his brain. The kid will grow up with a mentality that if anything goes wrong with us, then just cry and yell for help, and there will definitely be someone who will come forward to help you, just like Doraemon helps Nobita.
In such a case, the kid will never gain the “Problem Solving Skill”, which is one of the most important skills one can have in this modern era.

Why only Modern Kids ?
Now, if you have made it till here and you are above 16, then you may be thinking that why I said only about modern kids, as Doraemon is not new and it exists even before you were born. Even some of you may be thinking that you used to watch Doraemon as a kid and your mind is still at its place, right? So let me clear it up for you.
The reason why I’ve just mentioned the modern kids is because anyone like you and me who is more than 16 and used to watch Doraemon in their childhood also had many other options, like, we used to watch Doraemon for one hour and after that we had a menu card ready with us, which featured shows like Ben 10, Beyblade, Dragon ball Z, Power Rangers and many more.
But when you take a look at the modern kids, you’ll find that they don’t have so much options in terms of what to watch as we had in our childhood. Moreover, the irony is that it is not their fault either. The TV channels nowadays are running such creepy and worthless shows in binge that even if the kid wants to watch something else, then he/she doesn’t have any option.
What is the Solution ?
So as I’ve mentioned above, I’m now going to give you the solution of this issue. If you want to protect your child, or your younger brother/sister from the influence of the negative characters like Nobita, then it is your responsibility to provide them some good content to consume.
If you widen your vision, then you’ll find out that the content we used to watch in our childhood is still out there, the difference is just that it doesn’t get broadcasted on TV anymore. But, every single show that you used to watch as a kid is still available on the internet, and lot of them are easily available on OTT platforms too.
Starting from Dragon Ball z, Beyblade, Pokemon to shows like Courage and Noddy, everything is easily available on the internet nowadays.
So now, this is your responsibility to get your kid to watch such awesome and motivating contents, so that their minds won’t adopt the negative qualities served by the fictional characters nowadays.

Conclusion
At the end, I just want to mention that I don’t say that watching Doraemon or such cartoon shows is bad, but you should consume such content in a limit because any substance consumed more than required is injurious to health either physically or mentally.
Also, if you’re a parent and you are reading this post then I’d like to say that you must keep an eye on what your child is consuming in his/her growth years, or else the results of this negligence will be devastating in future, both for you and your kid.
