PNTV: Many Ways to Say I Love You by Mister Rogers (#426)

This is our third Note on (Mister) Fred Rogers' books. I read all three over the course of a week after falling in love with the man via the wonderful documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? This book, as per the sub-title, is all about "Wisdom for Parents and Children from Mister Rogers." Like the other books we've featured, it's a super quick-reading and equally inspiring collection of brief wisdom gems from our beloved neighbor. I loved it. And, I've been enjoying channeling Mister Rogers' warmth and presence and wisdom in my role as a father to our two little E's: Emerson (6 as I type this) and Eleanor (2!). Big Ideas we explore include how to deal with disappointment (big and small!), growing (kids AND parents), the complexity of being a parent, setting limits and the power of saying, "I'm sorry."
