This research effort offers a thorough identification, categorization, and discussion of the effects of cartoons on young children's language development and learning. This study analyzes how parents can be held accountable for their children's daily intake of cartoons by outlining the various benefits as well as risks that these programs have for their development. The goal is to emphasize both the good and negative effects of animated programs on kids. In order to accomplish the study's objectives, the researcher used the observational learning model to analyze the questionnaire that was completed by 25 parents and children living in the Ovia North East local government area of the Nigerian state of Edo. The study found that parents are okay with their kids watching or streaming a variety of animated shows, and some parents are okay with their kids preferring the English language to the local dialect. The researcher suggests conducting more research on how parents might affect and manage their children's language development.
