Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Daniel Goes to the Doctor DVD Review and #Giveaway


        I was happy when I was asked to review quite the newest DVD from PBS Kids being released May 10th, 2016.  Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Daniel Goes to the Doctor will be released on DVD with tons of educational fun for your kiddos!  With 8 stories/episodes and even a bonus one, the whole DVD surrounds different scenarios where going to the doctor is needed.


        The Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Daniel Goes to the Doctor synopsis says, “Preschoolers can climb aboard Trolley and join Daniel Tiger as he goes for a checkup, gets a shot, and helps Mom Tiger when she’s not feeling well. When Daniel visits the doctor for his checkup, he is “one stripe scared” about going. To help Daniel feel better, Mom Tiger talks with him about the visit and sings “when we do something new, let’s talk about what we’ll do.” Other helpful strategies that Daniel and his friends and family use in select stories featured on the DVD include: “when you get hurt, find a grown-up to help you feel better” and “when you’re sick, rest is best.”"

        Being that I watched Mr. Roger's as a child, I love that there is an updated version for my little ones to enjoy.  Daniel Tiger is a normal little guy still learning which Declan loves to watch as he grows!  This episode was great for both my children since they are both pretty intimidated and afraid of going to the doctor.

        While they both love our pediatrician, we've had a few side issues with other doctors that have really put them off.  I loved how at ease this put them about admitting when your sick, taking medicine, and going to visit the doctor.  They felt better about the dreaded shots as well as how to avoid getting sick which is just as important when taking care of yourself and others!

  1. My sons have always been pretty good going to the doctor. My now 14 year old has had issues with vaccines and blood draws. He has said some pretty funny things over the years and is still nervous for those things. I always just let him know ahead of time if I knew that was going to happen so he had some time process and prepare for it.

  2. My son doesn't like to go to the doctor so we usually treat him to something special to help him tolerate it.

  15. For check-ups where we have to get a vaccine or shot, I take my 5 year old son to the toystore beforehand to take to the doctor's office. It remains unopened, but he loves to show it to the nurses and doctor. After the shot, he gets to open it. Generally works pretty well! Few tears!
