Mister Rogers’ song “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” offers a double message: "You are special...and so is everybody else in the world!"  We all share the same hopes and feelings, yet each human being is unique. When children can appreciate how they are like others and how they are unique, they are more likely to feel good about themselves…to accept differences in others…and to be neighborly.

Here’s Mister Rogers’ song “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” and an activity to help children appreciate the diversity in our world.

 
March 23-27
Everybody’s Special
We're all so much alike...and yet we're all so different!
