“Big Brother Daniel,” featuring seven tales, shines a spotlight on a relevant topic for families and preschoolers everywhere – smoothing the transition for preschoolers with a new sibling. Inspired by the enduring wisdom of Fred Rogers, the stories on this DVD tackle many of the issues young children encounter with a new sibling such as feeling left out, learning to share time and attention, and appreciating how fun a little sister (or brother) can be.<
Why we like it: Parents who are expecting their second child should know about this DVD, which has a seven-episode story arc from this PBS Kids program that show Daniel Tiger becoming a big brother. In addition to Daniel’s animated world, the episodes nicely integrate some “live action” segments where real kids are dealing with becoming an older sibling.
