Mister Rogers - Starting School September 2009

September 11, 2010

Day and Night Care

In this favorite Make- Believe story, Prince Tuesday works through his sad and angry feelings about his parents being away and Mister Rogers shows a factory tour of how people make zippers.

Mister Rogers shows how people make zippers. Zipping and unzipping jackets is an important part of the beginning and end of child care days, with all the feelings of hellos and goodbyes which are hard for children.  In the Make-Believe story, Prince Tuesday’s caregiver helps him talk about his sad and angry feelings, reminding us of Fred Rogers’ message that “whatever is mentionable can be more manageable.”
