A Guardian interview with Rachel Accurso, known as Ms Rachel, explores her work making videos for young children and her public advocacy. The conversation also covers screen time and the demands of the role.
The feature provides the creator’s perspective and background in preschool music education. It is not a clinical assessment of a particular child’s media use.

The interview traces Rachel Accurso's move from preschool music teaching into children's videos and discusses the attention surrounding her advocacy. It separates her personal motivations from the larger questions parents face about media use. Popularity alone cannot determine whether a particular programme fits a child's needs or a family's routine.
