Little Bear - Feel Better, Little Bear (DVD, 2003)

We first became aware of Little Bear on Noggin' TV. My daughter started watching these when she was about 6 months old. Watching the shows with her as she grew, we began to realize that although she liked other preschool programs, Little Bear was definitely her favorite.

All of the episodes are calming to her, and stimulate her imagination. She learns so much watching the shows. She learns about love, sadness, joy, traditions, parents, friends, diversity, problem-solving, and so much more! The episodes feature calming, warm and lovable characters, and promote a feeling of safety and wellness.

This particular DVD has some of her favorite episodes, including an episode in which Little Bear is sick. She identifies very strongly with Little Bear, but also identifies the loving characteristics of Little Bear's parents as those of her own parents. I couldn't ask for a better situation for a preschooler!
