All New Daniel Tiger Episodes Arrive in Time for the Start of School

Daniel Tiger 100 Days

Daniel Tiger has been a staple television show in our home for the past few years. Andrew has grown up on watching and Eva enjoyed it when she was younger. With Andrew headed to school five days a week he is going to enjoy these school-centric episodes that will be releasing during the week of September 5th. The show is a good one and it has been found to be beneficial to children. The Emmy Award-nominated show helps preschoolers learn appropriate social skills through imagination, creativity, and music.

A recent study showed that children who watched DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD had higher levels of empathy, better ability to recognize emotions, and increased social confidence.

Kids can continue learning with new digital content from DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD. The online game, “Classroom Helpers,” teaches children proper classroom etiquette such as putting away toys, watering plants and more. The game will be available on pbskids.org and on the PBS KIDS Games app the week of September 5th.

The weather was brutally hot and I was sweating like crazy while cracking lobsters so that wasn’t too enjoyable, but eating them, oh it was awesome!
