Violence on TV programs for toddlers

I cannot help wondering whether the "violence" depicted on channels like CBeebies (BBC) is having a bad influence on toddlers? Violence is an extreme word but I feel the following content could be misconstrued by the toddlers:
  • generally unpleasant behaviour in Higgledy House.
  • Mud fight in Bob the Builder.
You may disagree with my view but I have evidence of such behaviour in the playground. My daughter has been pushed and hit by other toddlers just for being there. I cannot understand how toddlers can develop these tendencies. I am sure that there are cases due to the innate disposition of the child but surely the TV can be blamed for the quantity of violence in the playground?

Still remember how you didn't let us watch the Simpsons because it was a bad example.
