Agreed. Daniel Tiger is as much for me as it is for my son. It seems like they have handy little songs for many toddler challenges. We still sing the "flush and wash and be on your way" song, as well as "take a deep breath".

It's a very different format from Mr Roger's, but maybe it has to be in order to be relevant to the ages.

"Do you need to go potty? Maybe yes, maybe no; why don't you sit and try to go?" has been immensely helpful. There's a Daniel Tiger song for every situation!

Do they have a "you're 16 already, how about you close your damn mouth when you chew your food" song?

Haha this was my very first thought when Daniel Tiger was mentioned. "If you have to go potty, stop and go right away..."

(I was working on an RTSP streaming video client and all I had handy as a video source for VLC to stream was Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood. It only took a few days because ffmpeg is awesome but this song is now burned into my brain...)
