My 6 year old is obsessed with some channel where people just organize things. Like perfectly. For 10 minutes straight they'll watch someone arrange colored pencils or alphabetize spices. No talking, no plot. He's hypnotized by it. My wife thinks it's weird but honestly if it keeps him quiet for 20 minutes while I make dinner I'm not complaining. Is this normal?
Dude, my 5 year old does the exact same thing with those satisfying video compilations. I don't totally get it either but at least she's not asking me to buy toys or watch ads. Could be worse right?
My oldest went through a phase of watching nothing but slime videos for months. I was skeptical at first but honestly it kept her calm and focused, so I figured it was fine. The organizing stuff is actually pretty harmless compared to some of the rabbit holes out there.
Haha yes! My kids watch that organizing channel too. I've learned not to question it. As long as they're not watching something actually weird, I'm calling it a win. Beats them asking me a million questions.
That's the age where they're into everything oddly specific. One of mine was obsessed with street sweeper videos for like three months. As a coach, I'm just grateful when they're entertained and quiet for 20 minutes.

Oh man, my 6 year old too! It's always these oddly satisfying videos. Honestly I just let it happen because at least he's calm and not asking me for snacks every 30 seconds. Could be worse content.
