More About the Author

Fred Rogers: March 20, 1928 - February 27, 2003

Producer, magician, writer, puppeteer, minister, husband, father, Fred Rogers started out in children's television thirty years ago. The direction he trailblazed was the "creation of television programming that spoke, with respect, to the concerns of early childhood, not as adults see it but as children feel it." He has received virtually every major award in the television industry for work in his field, and dozens of others from special-interest groups. Fred Rogers lived in Pennsylvania.

This review is from: Mister Rogers Talks With Parents (Paperback)

As a Clinical Psychologist working with children and families, I can give this book my heartfelt recommendation. Rarely are such complex and difficult questions answered so well without using jargon and confusing language. I frequently recommend this book to families, particularly to young parents.

This review is from: Mister Rogers Talks With Parents (Paperback)

I watch Mister Rogers' Neighborhood just about every day with my daughter and have come to respect Mr. Rogers. I borrowed this book from the library to see what he could teach me about children. I found this book to be full of wisdom he gained from his dedication to children. He loved what he did and you can tell that kept him always learning. The insights in this book are incredible. The book also contains sheet music of many of his songs in the back.

This review is from: Mister Rogers Talks With Parents (Paperback)

Mr. Rogers' brilliant insights are so easily taken for granted, that most of us Americans don't even think twice about him. His influence is so ubiquitous that it's very easy to overlook the alternative -- the very likely possibility that we could have no models like him. His body of work is a lovely lesson in parenting, and this book is a helpful guide for new parents. After all, his example is precisely the sort of stability and consistency, patience and deep understanding, competence and reliability, which are so greatly needed in parents. Every parent wants to be effective -- Mr. Rogers shows how.
