Summary: Nothing but pure fun for kids!!
Review: Caillou has been a life saver. My 19 month old daughter absolutely loves this show. It is so cute and fun to watch. Unlike the review below, Caillou is so harmless!! How pathetic to absolutely ban CAILLOU from your home. To the person who wrote the bad review, to allow a DVD to set example for your kids! Come on now, sounds like your household is raised on videos only!

Summary: Caillou helps kids talk about feelings
Review: Caillou is great for helping kids put words with their emotions and express them. My mildly autistic son watches intently as Caillou goes about his daily life, and uses words to express what he needs and is feeling.I do not think Caillou is whiny or disrespectful at all. The person who said that he was must have robot kids, or very unrealistic expectations of how children should act. What a great way to raise perfect, passive aggressive children: never, ever allow them to express anger or frustration, or an opinion of their own. Sound healthy to you? No, me either.

Summary: My kids love this DVD
Review: I'm no child psychologist so I'm not going to try and determine whether or not this DVD is appropriate for your kids. Rather I'm just going to pass on this observation: Both my kids (ages 1 and 3) love watching this DVD; the oldest has watched it so many times that he even mouths the words as he's watching it (because he's memorized what's going to happened next). I suspect he finds this DVD so riveting because the story lines are so close to his reality (for example; having to share a toy with a younger sibling, or needing daddy to fix a toy). Irrespective; I've not noticed a change in his behavior when watching this DVD (unlike a Video on Monster trucks we once made the mistake of renting), and personally have no qualms letting my kids watch this show.

Summary: How to teach your child to WHINE!
Review: If you're interested in teaching your child how to throw temper tantrums and how to whine when they don't get their way, look no further. This DVD, just like the Caillou show on cable, is a horrible example for small children. I banned Caillou from our house after a week of our two small boys (ages 2 and 4) watching the show and then emulating Caillou's behavior. Too many examples of "I don't like that", and "I don't want to do that" (add Caillou's whiney brat tone and foot stomping for the right effect). And yes, it was from watching Caillou because they didn't do that before they watched the show, and they stopped doing that shortly after they were no longer exposed to Caillou. I really don't see what parent's enjoy about this show. It's never allowed in our house again. There are plenty of "GOOD" kids shows that don't teach a child how to misbehave like Caillou. The creators of Caillou should be ashamed of themselves.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This DVD is excellent for good behavior. I have a 2 year old boy and a newborn girl. The boy was really gelous about the baby and with this DVD he starts to help me with his baby sister. I prefer to put the DVD than the TV, because Caillou is better than other characters in the TV, he teaches values and respect.
In addition, my son is practicing english, because we live in Mexico and he listens and speaks more spanish than english.
