So that doesn't always help. . . And due to the show, DS is insisting that he wants a sister. . . sorry buddy, you're getting a brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-daniel-tiger-effect#post-1982012 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:00:55 +0000 BabyBruins 1982012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Grow ups come back" song helped with preschool drop offs and he told ME one day, "if you're feeling frustrated, take a step back and ask for help". I hadn't even heard that one. Now if he would only take the potty song to heart .... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-daniel-tiger-effect#post-1981947 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 10:27:27 +0000 Orchid 1981947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen Daniel Tiger but it sounds like he's a hero! </p> <p>LO is only 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-daniel-tiger-effect#post-1981800 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 09:07:12 +0000 dagret 1981800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sing Daniel Tiger songs all the time!

In fact, I'm in Chicago visiting my husband as he's here for work and LO is staying with my mom. Apparently she sometimes wonders where I am so my mom will explain it and she will say "Mommy come back" to reassure herself :happy:</p> <p>The other is uggamugga, said before bedtime when we're doing hugs and kisses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-daniel-tiger-effect#post-1981557 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 00:06:38 +0000 birdofafeather 1981557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: oh yeah! this one is a hit.</p> <p>huge DT fan, although i do think she heard/picked up "mine" from the title song. she's DT obsessed now. every tiger at the wild animal park was "tigee" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-daniel-tiger-effect#post-1981519 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:26:00 +0000 MamaCate 1981519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: Me too!

I find myself singing them to LO a lot to remind her of whatever the lesson is, and also making new songs. LO likes to tell the kids in her class who are having a hard time with dropoff that "don't worry! Grown ups always come back! Mommies always come back!". LO employs a lot of the songs on her own too - like if she says she is scared of something, she'll follow that up with singing how she needs to "see what it is so I might feel better" heehee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-daniel-tiger-effect#post-1981357 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:53:20 +0000 stargal 1981357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we say Daniel tiger, p crumples up his fists and fors grrrrr.

Today we sung "We don't say hunh? We say pardon me?" Like a zillion times and it's working! Do you sing silly songs like this or is it just me? </p>
