Going to Day Care by Fred Rogers

You know the type, we talk big about not forcing ourselves to be perfect but also explain 90% of our parenting decisions with statements that start with “studies show.” As such, I was incredibly nervous about letting my precious child take the plunge into the world of TV. I’m a very particular brand of millennial parent, one who loves research and is as anxious about not being a “helicopter parent” as I am about all the things that make me want to be a helicopter parent. But all this talk about Fred Rogers, or Mister Rogers, as so many of us affectionately remember him, has got me thinking about my own lessons learned from his “television neighborhood.” I’m not talking about lessons learned as a kid, but rather what I learned by watching the show all over again as an adult, with my own toddler. All of this makes perfect sense, as the original Mister Rogers Neighborhood television show premiered fifty years ago, in 1968. This year the face of Fred Rogers will be gracing a forever stamp, a documentary of his life has recently been released, and a biopic starring Tom Hanks is reportedly in the works.
