About the Book
In her engaging, new book PRESCHOOL CLUES: Raising Smart, Inspired, and Engaged Kids in a Screen-Filled World, ANGELA C. SANTOMERO, M.A.—award-winning co-creator of Blue’s Clues and creator of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Super Why!, and more—takes us behind the scenes of children’s television to teach parents how healthy, research-based media actually helps preschoolers flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. Along the way, she shares how excellent educational media empowers, challenges, and builds the self-worth of children, all while making them laugh. With endless accolades, such as the prestigious Peabody award, two TCA awards, twenty-five-plus Emmy nominations, and seven Parents’ Choice Gold Awards, Angela has a gift for creating high-quality programs. At only twenty-five years old, Angela cocreated her legendary and wildly successful show Blue’s Clues, the first preschool program to actively and consistently invite audience participation. With her first foray into the entertainment industry, Angela forever changed the way young children watched television, destroying the myth that TV is a passive medium. In each of her shows, Angela has also striven to carry on the legacy of Fred Rogers, who helped a generation of children connect with their inner selves and each other. Angela’s passion for his work led her to team up with the Fred Rogers Company to create Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, an animated series based on Fred’s curriculum and inspired by his love of music, that teach young viewers life lessons that they will carry into their school age years and beyond. In this passionate, practical parenting guide, Angela distills the latest research in child development and translates her tried-and-tested learning philosophy beyond her award-winning shows, straight into easy, actionable advice and exercises for parents and educators: • Is your preschooler having trouble understanding his feelings? Play a charades game in which he has to identify a variety of emotions. • Not sure how to handle tough conversations with your little one? Practice the four-beat pause to avoid jumping to conclusions and to answer the question she’s really asking. • Looking for ways to model kindness more effectively? Simply holding the door open for a stranger or being cordial to your waitress are simple actions that your toddler will readily mimic. Filled with examples of day-to-day interactions with little ones, PRESCHOOL CLUES is an invaluable guide to how quality media helps children learn—and explains how everyone can extend Angela’s successful learning techniques when the show is over. |
