There are many children TV shows that display these norms and one of them is Peppa Pig which creates an almost perfect happy family of pigs that live like humans. Peppa Pig has the ideal family of a mother, father, and two children a boy and a girl. The show creates this ideal family because it is what society wants and that is what you're expected to do when you have your own family. Everyone in this show is always happy and there is rarely ever a conflict between any of the characters.
In this show both of the kids are very energetic and are very close to each other. Peppa pig is the oldest daughter and is always ready to play outside and be with her friends. She always asks questions and wants to help out with everything. the fact that her character is the oldest child that still is somewhat mature protects her innocence. She is also the most important character emphasizing that children and adolescence is important. The youngest brother, George is mostly quite and loves to play with his sister and friends. He is not really aware of certain things that go on around him and he always wants to be active like his older sister. I believe that the writers are trying to show that if a pig is willing to be active and not lazy, like they're usually portrayed, then the child should also be active and imaginative. The adults in this how are not really focused on as they have little roles in the show. Peppa's mother works from home and still cooks for the children while the dad occasionally helps. The little significance of the adults is also shown through their names because they are always called "momma" and "pappa."
This TV show displays energy in children, friendliness, and family norms. Peppa pig also shows that there are never any real problems as everything is solved quickly and the show ends with everyone being happy and laughing. Valuing innocence and simplicity is the focus of the show through all the characters.
