Bringing the lessons of Mister Rogers into the digital age Playful and practical, When You Wonder, You're Learning introduces a new generation of families to the lessons of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood .
By exploring the science behind the iconic television program, the book reveals what Fred Rogers called the tools for learning skills and mindsets that scientists now consider essential.
These tools--curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and more--have been shown to boost everything from academic learning to children's well-being, and they benefit kids of every background and age.
They cost next to nothing to develop, and they hinge on the very things that make life worthwhile: self-acceptance; close, loving relationships; and a deep regard for one's neighbor.
When You Wonder, You're Learning shows parents and educators the many ways they might follow in Rogers' footsteps, sharing his tools for learning with digital-age kids.
With insights from thinkers, scientists, and teachers--many of whom worked with Rogers himself--the book is an essential exploration into how kids and their parents can excel at what Rogers taught best: being human.
