Build emotional literacy with children using this app to supplement your conversations.

I just used Daniel Tiger for Parents when my daughter was feeling disappointed. She had a meltdown when she was showing me her art at school but the classroom was closing. She didn't get to finish. Threw a major fit.

Even tho it's a pretty small thing, the emotion was very big for her. She's got some sensory processing issues related to her prematurity. Normally we can talk thru that ok, but something about this really felt catastrophic for her.

30 minutes later, some conversations and attempts to derail her - and she was still feeling very sad, she said.

I remembered this app, so we pulled it out. She loves Daniel Tiger, and she really liked that he had felt disappointed too.

We pulled up the "feelings" section and sure enough - there's a video about a time when Daniel Tiger was disappointed. It helps her to process her feelings by giving her words and strategies to use in order to cope.

She's watching it now. After she's done, we'll talk about what Daniel did to feel better and move on.

I just love that they're helping to build emotional literacy in kids and families by giving parents a wonderful free toolkit.

Thanks for the great work, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, The Fred Rogers Company, PBS KIDS and PBS Kids Games!!
