You sound like an excellent mom! Now if I can only remember that lesson myself… Thanks for writing. I’ll be updating my blog any day now!

My 13 year old daughter loved your show when she was little, and I just showed our little girl your show for the first time…we all enjoyed it.

I have gone back to college to earn a degree in early childhood education, in part, because of how your show moved me to parent my children to become active learners. It was because of the colors, music and focus on personal responsibility that drew me in as a parent.

As my teenager moves toward adulthood, I also worry about her safety and decision-making. I also try to model positive attitudes and decisions. What I try to focus on is that we may not have the ability to control every situation, but we always have the ability to control our REACTION to any situation. Personal responsibility is the key, and she started learning that in kindergarten!

thanks for commenting. Yes, I still struggle with modeling what I teach and I as I help my son deal with the things in his life I see that they often reflect my own stuff… But we’re always learning and growing and that’s a good thing!

We came across it on TV (up late trying to do schoolwork)

So great to read your writing. How quickly kids can jump to the wrong conclusions before knowing the details. Also makes you think of what we go to when we need to feel better as you mentioned. May have to use this during our Youth Group discussion this week.

Putting this in my favorites so I can read more when I’m not suppose to be doing my schoolwork.
