And also we've been playing with aggression.
Like what did we do?
How do we show in terms of promoting kindness and not promoting violence?
But how do you do that without modeling it?
Because that's another thing that we're really cognizant of is that when we show something, even though we're saying it's wrong, if you show it, it's going to have many more implications than if you just than if you don't.
So one of the things that we're working on is a strategy where Daniel is about to hit, about to throw something up.
He's so frustrated that he's about to be aggressive.
And when we stop him, like Mom Tiger stops him, Teacher Harriet stops him, and then he learns to stop himself.
It's okay to be angry, but it's not okay to hurt.
And those are the kinds of things that, you know, I think they have, they have implications, I think, with the kids on the spectrum.
But I also think for me, anyway, I'd like to think of it as also growing this audience to be, you know, to be much more kind and to hope with all of the bullying and gun violence that we have out there as you start to grow up, if you start, if you have these strategies and skills with you that you might have other choices.
Totally.
I mean, we're hearing also I love when I hear that parents are saying I'm learning to you know, I had a dad email that's over Twitter talking about that they're learning some things from the show as well, which which, you know, is just lovely.
Yeah,
I love this question because I think what I found is that the parents that are the most playful and relevant to their kids' lives where they think it's okay to talk about Daniel Tiger as if Daniel is a friend of their child or anything that they're into, right?
Anything that they're reading, anything that they're
really excited about to using that character as a way into their, to the conversations that you want to have to model.
So for instance, the way that they talk about in the New York Times article is exactly what we tell parents is, you know, if you're a little bit more aware of some of these strategies where they're, or your child is singing one of the strategies as they're trying a new food, you know, like take it on and use it and keep it going.
And
I think whether it's you have time to co-view or you just have time to play it out, if your child is talking about a pretend character, take it on and take that experience and take that conversation to another level.
