by Fred Rogers (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This program is a collection of segments from never-before-published speeches and observations from Fred Rogers years of working with parents and children, as well as other published materials from books, songs, TV commentary, and more. Using stories from his own life, Rogers discusses the importance of children and the role of parents. Included in the collection: A lot of the ways that I feel and a lot of the things that I offer have their roots in the care my early caregivers gave to me. Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with the threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go, providing continuity to succeeding ages.... Those of us who are in this world to educateto care forchildren have a special calling: a calling which has very little to do with the collection of expensive possessions, but has a lot to do with the worth inside of heads and hearts. In fact, thats our domain: the heads and hearts of the next generation: the thoughts and feelings of the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars I ordered three more copies for my friends who have small children..., December 12, 2007

This review is from: Many Ways to Say I Love You: Wisdom for Parents and Children from Mister Rogers (Hardcover)

I saw this book in a local drug store and found myself reading much of it right there in the store. I bought the copy and later went to Amazon and ordered three more for my friends who have small children.

It's a very slim book, that can be read in an hour or two, but the insights are quite wonderful to anyone who is raising children. I am now raising a three year old boy adopted from China, but my wife and I also have two adult children and two teenagers. I plan to use Mr. Rogers' gentle wisdom, and I wish I had discovered his wonderful philosophy when I first began my family.

I might buy a few extra copies to give to people for the birth or adoption of their first child; maybe even for one of my older children when I become a grandfather someday.

Who better than Fred Rodgers to put things into perspective. I loved this man as a child and now that I am a parent have an entirely new appreciation for him and his soft wisdom. Please read this and all his other books. They are easy and just make you feel better.

this is A good book i would recomand to any who likes mr rogers.
i use to watch his show when i was a child. he was a smart and caring soul thank you
mr rogers. Being a child of the 60's was fun fred open the world up for us and made us see that
their were NO ONE to say " that you can't do that becaues your a woman" The Flower children really let it all hang out. with the roits and public disobaidence and it was a wild time for all of us. getting to see the hippies first hand in San Francisco what a rush.
