As the creator of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on PBS, Angela Santomero may be the person most responsible for getting my family through the pandemic with our sanity intact. The show was (and still is) a lifesaver in moments when George or I needed a break from hands-on parenting, and its musical life lessons have become part of our toddlers’ lexicon.
Today, I get the chance to thank Angela in person! And you get to hear about the early childhood development principles behind her Emmy award-winning work. Plus, her take on screen time for kids; working with the real-life Mr. Rogers; and two wise pieces of advice for parents of young kids.
We also get into:
• Why Daniel Tiger doesn’t wear pants (but Mom Tiger does)
• How Angela developed the show (and Blue’s Clues before that)
• How music and repetition help kids learn
• Advice she’d give to her younger self (now that her daughters are in their 20s)
