God bless the creators of Daniel Tiger. We cannot imagine a more age appropriate content that gives all the right messages and aids in getting you to be still (so we can feed you or dress you up etc - yes, your skill sets vary a lot between school and home). Its either Rhea or Daniel Tiger who can get through to you in a way that's far more convincing than anyone or anything else.
These episodes make you aware of an alternate way to be - and is sometimes an eye opener for you- "Look Mommy, Daniel Tiger is not crying to go to school". The key messages are in the form of a hummable jingle - and they repeat it enough times that at the end of an episode you sing it too.
"you gotta try new foods, 'coz it might taste good."
"when you are scared - close your eyes and think of something happy"
"when you are feeling frustrated, take a step back and ask for help"
"when you gotta go, stop and go right away; flush and wash and on my way"
"friends help each other, yes they do its true"
Don't know if its the music; or the genuine innocence of the character faced with real life situations - but it has the complete trust of my 3 yr old :) I hope unlike other cartoons Daniel Tiger keeps growing right with you!!!
Honestly, the episodes are pretty good to gather some parenting tips as well ;) I say, next Nobel Peace (family) to Daniel Tiger.
Agga Magga!
