This show is fantastic!!!!! The show has good role models, good messages, and it's VERY educational!!!!!!!!!!!!! But there is very very very mild IFFY stuff for a 2-3 year old. LIKE: there is some mild scaryness in SOME episodes. and for language there is a very very rare use of the word stupid. And for sex well i wouldent exactly call it that but in one episode when brother was trying to tell his parents why he isnt doing his homework sister buts in and says "i know why brother can't do his homework because he's to busy with girls". Then brother trys to say otherwise. If you ask me i don't think that joke was needed in a preschool show.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Berenstain Bears
Parents need to know that while Brother and Sister Bear are 10 and 8, respectively, and the show revolves around their gradeschool-age experiences, the series' tone and pace may only appeal to much younger kids. Whatever their ages, if your kids enjoy the show, by all means introduce them to the books, which are easy to find at libraries and bookstores.
