Even at 4, we talk about the episode and apply it to real life situations at home. LO2 doesn't talk much, and the lessons from Daniel Tiger don't work as well unfortunately. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2420064 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:38:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2420064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was younger, yes. Not so much anymore because we can talk to her and reason with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2420003 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:17:10 +0000 edelweiss 2420003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, not yet, although i've thought about it for trying to cut down on tantrums and fostering more cooperation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2420000 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:14:35 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2420000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daniel Tiger is great for this! We've used it to help with potty training, trying new foods, and starting "school" (daycare). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2419983 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:07:43 +0000 jhd 2419983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sing the safety song when crossing the street. We also talked about the doctor episodes when LO had to go for an X-ray.<br /> ETA those are also Daniel Tiger examples! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2419939 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 09:51:46 +0000 Bao 2419939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: @Foodnerd81: I need to find the sharing one!

I love that little pantsless tiger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2419909 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 09:40:44 +0000 autumnlove 2419909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let LO 2 watch the potty episode of Daniel and an Elmo potty DVD when we started PT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2419907 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 09:39:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2419907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daniel Tiger has taught her a lot! Sharing, trying new foods, and lots about new babies. I used to scoff at people who said that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-shows-for-lessons#post-2419883 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 09:29:11 +0000 Bao 2419883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Daniel Tiger, for example...</p> <p>Do you try and use the lessons in the shows to teach your LO something? My 3.5 year old hasn't watched Daniel Tiger much, but just recently got into it over the past 2 weeks or so. She has been saying things like "look, he brushes his teeth just like me!" So it got me thinking that maybe now she will finally understand the lesson behind some of the episodes, and I can try and use them to help with some issues! </p>
