And yes, I’m also shocked and saddened that there is a Caillou fandom site.

reading that list, they just didnt like airing normal but negative young-chlid behavior. gotta keep it sterile, dontchaknow

no taking toys, no throwing tantrums. no pointing out when your parents are exhausted.

One episode he punches a baby. That is like number 1 on the list of things you don’t punch. There are the obvious examples of types of babies that are ok to punch. E.g. zombie, demon, Hitler, etc.
Punching a knife might be worse
Medically yes. Morally, maybe not.
That depends, is this knife a baby?
Or a baby threatening me with a knife

A baby made of horribly caustic acid that is actively moving toward other babies, and all you have available to stop it is punches. Good to punch, or bad to punch? 🤔

(The baby is much faster than you. It will reach the other babies before you can. It is about to pass you, though it hasn’t yet done so, and all you have time to do is to give it a quick, decisive strike to knock it off-course)
