"During the 14 years I've been performing as one of 'The Wiggles,' I've watched thousands of kids sing along with us and do the movements that go with our songs. It was cute, but I didn't fully understand the significance until I had my son Asher, who is now 5."
"That's why 'The Wiggles' have been so popular for 35 years now: we're connected with child development. The way that kids watch TV has changed, but the way they develop hasn't."
"We're pretty strict with small screens, but Asher watches a fair bit of TV. He's not into 'The Wiggles' though. I think he associates the Red Wiggle with me being away."
Simon Pryce, the Red Wiggle, reflects on his 14 years with 'The Wiggles' and the significance of children's engagement with music. He highlights the milestone of children clapping along to songs and how 'The Wiggles' connect with child development. Pryce shares his parenting choices regarding screen time for his son Asher, who has limited exposure to small screens but enjoys watching TV. Despite his father's fame, Asher does not connect with 'The Wiggles' on screen but enjoys attending live shows.
