b'Ever wonder about the education value of the shows your kids watch? Curious to know if children can grow their SEL skills through preschool TV? On this episode, I\\u2019m talking with preschool television show creator, executive producer, writer, and show runner, Angela Santomero about just that. I first met Angela while working on Blue\\u2019s Clues, a show that she, incidentally, co-created, and we\\u2019ve been friends ever since. I wanted to bring Angela on the podcast because not only do we share a lot of core beliefs when it comes to parenting, but the shows she\\u2019s creating are having a powerful impact on young children who are wired differently.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, Angela and I talk about why children\\u2019s TV can be so powerful as a tool for education, the merits of screen time for young kids, the research foundation behind all of Angela\\u2019s shows that ensure the lessons and messages are landing with kids the way they\\u2019re intended to, and why some children\\u2019s TV shows can be a great way to present social and emotional learning opportunities for differently-wired kids.\\nAngela Santomero is the cocreator, executive producer, and head writer for the award-winning\\xa0Blue\\u2019s Clues and the creator and executive producer for the smash hit Daniel Tiger\\u2019s Neighborhood and Super Why!, airing on PBS; Creative Galaxy and Wishenproof for Amazon Studios; and Charlie\\u2019s Colorforms City on Netflix.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThings you\\u2019ll learn from this episode:\\n\\nWhat the research says about the merits of educational television programming and media for kids\\n\\nWhy some social / emotional strategies on preschool programs are especially sticky for differently-wired kids\\n\\nHow some shows are trying to incorporate social stories that can support differently-wired kids\\u2019 social thinking about things like friendship challenges, anxiety, and aggression\\n\\n\\xa0\\nResources mentioned for SEL and Preschool TV\\n\\nAngela Santomero\\u2019s website Angela\\u2019s Clues\\n\\n\\n\\nPreschool TV Creator Angela Santomero on Her New Book Preschool Clues (podcast episode)\\n\\n\\nPreschool Clues: Raising Smart, Inspired, and Engaged Kids in a Screen-Filled World by Angela Santomero and Deborah Reber\\n\\n\\nRadical Kindness: The Life Changing Power of Giving and Receiving by Angela Santomero\\n\\n\\nBlue\\u2019s Clues (Nick Jr.)\\n\\n\\nSuper Why (PBS Kids)\\n\\n\\nDaniel Tiger\\u2019s Neighborhood (PBS Kids)\\n\\nSupport the show\\nConnect with Tilt Parenting\\n\\n\\nVisit Tilt Parenting\\n\\nTake the free 7-Day Challenge\\n\\n\\n\\nRead a chapter of Differently Wired\\n\\n\\nFollow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram\\n\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
