My son hated all kids’ tv and movies. Until we had a revelation.

It's not that there wasn't anything on those shows, it's that emotional intelligence didn't seem to be explicitly taught. There are things we picked up along the way, and it was demonstrated, but different from shows like Daniel Tiger that teach these things more actively.

I mainly say this based on observing my own childrens' emotional intelligence compared to what I experienced in my own generation at that age. They have language and tools that my generation didn't have, or at least didn't utilize the same way. They still have their issues, this is just one area where the kids seem alright.

I think we agree there. I would feel better if our efforts had immediately produced a flowering of wisdom and compassion across the globe, but clearly the work is more Sisyphean in nature.
