Title: Good Parenting 101
Product review: "Caillou" is one of my favorite cartoons for young children on television! My daughter likes it as well, but my main reason for loving it is the wonderful example of positive parenting it presents. As a firm advocate and practitioner of Gentle Discipline, i applaud the makers of Caillou for the way they portray Caillou's parents as patient, playful, encouraging, non-punitive, respectful of their children's feelings, and allowing them to express their autonomy while holding age-appropriate expectations of them. It is so rare to see this kind of gentle family dynamic in the age of such abhorrent shows as "Malcolm in the Middle" etc. How refreshing, and how wonderful that parents of young children who see this show are every day being exposed to at least half an hour of good parenting role-models -- even if they are animated!!!
