Okay I keep seeing this on my dash, and I am very passionate about this, so..... because I heavily rely on this broadcast, I feel like I should educate those that do not know how aweosme PBS Kids is!
I have been working in early childhood education for over 15 years. I teach ages 0-5, and we show todddlers how to be humans and how to interact with the world through dramatic play and musical education. We teach everything from manners to emotional control. We learn colors, numbers up to 50, shapes, letters, days of the week, months of the year, and phonics like sight words and reading comprehension. This year, we are also learning colors, shapes, and numbers 1-20 in Spanish. We do more, but I wanna focus on this amazing children's educational channel that is PBS Kids.
PBS Kids have been so many amazing series that help develop all of those skills as stated above, as well as social skills, vocal skills, spelling, math, and educating the kids on how diverse the world is.
Let's explore some of today's PBS Kids shows!
1. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood
I know that society gets a little iffy about remakes and sequels, but Daniel Tiger is a brilliant example of how to do it right! The calm and slow pace helps the children gather an understanding of emotional control while inolvolving real world situations.
It is wonderfully diverse with a wide range of good characters and storylines while combining classic Mister Roger's characters along with a few fresh faces. Great for any morning routine.
2. Xavier Riddle & The Secret Museum
This is a PHENOMENAL show that deserves to win awards. It's historical education is top notch, and they are experts and simplifying history in a way that all ages can enjoy, while also learning of those that helped history make it's place.
Yes, that is Bob Ross up there among others. There are people that they explore in this show that I never thought any kid show would explore. And the kids ADORE IT.
This is a new show that just premiered and it focuses on Carl who is a lover of all collections, and he often uses his collections to help his friends in every day life.
This one brought a tear to my eye, because not only does it tackle topics like autism, but it also highlights other perks that kids might have, such as sensitivity to loud noises, and even the experience of synesthesia (being able to see colors in music, for example) and how to interact with kids who have these lovely perks.
Lots of kids relate to these topics, and Carol the collector feels like it was made by professionals who knew how to cater to children's phycological development.
This is an excellent show depicting the life of Natives along the state of Alaska. It shines a brave light on the history of Native People and their experiences on how important their culture is. It lifts up those that did not have a voice for a long time. This show helps support the idea of helping the environment and educating ourselves on the past and how we can create a better future.
Molly of Denali is a game changer in children's edutainment, and it offers education that isn't really seen in other kid's shows. It is imperative that kids have a basic understanding of the world they are entering into, and shows like this really help turn the tide in going forward in History instead of backward.
Earth's moon, Luna, embarks on many adventures around the world with a group of circus kids. The show dives in on adoration and appreciation for cultures that most American kids might never get to experience, and they get to explore fashion, music, and customs. It is vibrant, colorful, and it really feels like you are in these countries with the amount of research that was clearly done to make it as culturally accurate as possible.
6. If you liked "Zaboomafo" as a kid, then I suggest:
Wild Kratts is fun for both kids and adults. It is educational, whimsical, speaks to a wide range of ages, and it built on the original classic Zaboomafo idea. And it's in the style of Kim Possible, which gives it an A+ for me!
PBS Kids has always been an amazing tool to help kids learn real-life lessons, how to treat their friends, and how to regulate their reactionary control. Today's shows have gone above and beyond when it comes to educating children, and it is a real shame that we as a country do not hold the same value to education as we used to.
We all know that this administration doesn't want to educate children. If children become educated, then they will grow up to realize how much this government continually enjoys screwing us over. I am ready to stick it to this government, how about you? Mr. Rogers would be sorely disappointed on how many steps back we have taken, and I want nothing more than to make that man proud.
These shows are awesome, and I know that they must have piqued SOMEONE'S interest. There is a free PBSkids app that has full fleged episodes to watch and really cool games. When I babysit, these kids have the app, and damn..... the games are actually fun!!! A GREAT way to stick it to our government is to download the app and use the shit out of it! Make it one of the most used apps to date. Do it out of spite.
I do not work with PBSkids in any way. I do not make money from the app or anything, I am just a concerned caregiver that is passionate about teaching kids the fundamentals of what being a person is, and I PBSkids offers real life examples that is hard to replicate in a classroom.
Play around with that app.
