Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 010a: Angela Santomero on How Children Can Grow SEL Skills Through Preschool TV · 29 Oct 2021 podcast

At the end of a 22-minute piece, we know that it's really hitting kids.

And then we started realizing that it was also hitting children on the spectrum that are now able to articulate their feelings or able to do things that they might not have been able to do before.

Thank you so much.

I mean, I think that you and I have always said this, like when we met, there was just this chemistry in terms of what we wanted to do out in the world and better ourselves and what we're doing for kids.

And so obviously I'm also a huge supporter of yours since the beginning and also on this new endeavor, which I think is so needed and I'm so happy to support it.

You know, I always thought that I might be a teacher.

I was a preschool teacher when I was in the classroom in college.

And I was always around kids.

I was that babysitter who had to keep a grid of all of the clients that I had because I was constantly babysitting.

And then my little brother was born when I was 14.

And so I really got to watch him grow.

And so I talk a lot about how he sparked my interest in kids and child development and then how

Being a crazy fan of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood as a preschooler also made me so interested in what it would be like to teach through media the way that I believe that Fred Rogers did.

So that's kind of the way that the journey started for me.

Well, you know, I was that four-year-old who, and this is, of course, my mom tells the story, that I could not get any closer to the TV when the show was on.

And I would talk back to Mr. Rogers, talk to the TV.

And then also, you know, as I got older in eighth grade, they asked us to write an essay on a mentor of ours.

And I chose Fred Rogers.

And I studied and looked up what he did and realized he had a master's in child developmental psychology and just had all of these things that were really interesting to me.

And so anyway, so it kind of started from there and continued to grow.
