New Look –
New Focus for the Mad Feelings e-newsletter
We’re making changes in our Mad Feelings e-letter – and we’d love to have your input. We’re in the process of creating a different approach to include our broader range of professional resources. Coming in a few months, our new format will also make this communication more interactive.
 I’m excited about the change, too, because it gives me a chance to share with you some of the things I’ve learned over four decades working closely with Fred Rogers. At the very beginning of my work here, during my second year of graduate school, I saw that Fred was “translating” complex child development theory into clear and easy-to-understand experiences, words and songs.
Fred was a master communicator for and about children, and over the past forty years I’ve had the great privilege of being invited to present my perspective on his messages at hundreds of national, state and regional conferences.
Especially in recent years, it’s been obvious to me how
much we all can continue to learn from Fred’s thoughtful
and knowledgeable approach to children and families.
And I’m looking forward to sharing that with you.

There’s a change in the broadcast schedule for Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Starting this month, our program will no longer be carried on a daily basis. However, we have worked with PBS to select 26 favorite Neighborhood episodes to be part of the PBSKIDS Saturday morning lineup. As we carry on Fred Rogers’ rich legacy, we are working on new ways to continue his work so that people like you, and the families you serve, can continue to benefit from his timeless wisdom.
We’ve just relaunched our Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood website on PBSKIDS. We’ve added new activities, games, songs and dozens of video clips from the Neighborhood series. Visit the site and look for ways that you can use it in professional development or in your communication with families. For example, if you’re looking for an engaging way to present a particular child development concept – like self-control or curiosity or fears, you can link to an activity, or a Mister Rogers video or a song that illustrates the concept. There’s much on the site that can support you in the important work that you’re doing.
