Bear explores the emotional and developmental sides of potty training by explaining that leaving diapers behind and using the toilet is simply a part of growing up. By show's end, everyone is inducted into the Mystic Order of the Toileteers, Pip and Pop's exclusive club for the potty-trained. Special consultant for this episode was Barbara J. Howard, M.D., a specialist in child development and toilet training at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The goal of this program is to deal with some common concerns children have in order to make toilet learning easier. The show handles this topic in a refreshingly light-hearted and unselfconscious way that parents, toddlers and even older kids will enjoy.
Every show has a theme appropriate for little kids, such as dancing, time, doctors and cooperation.
Through creative play, Bear also provides a role model for caregivers to stimulate learning in their own homes. All the action takes place in the kid- friendly Big Blue House, where songs are sung, stories are told, and imagination and adventure reign. The company has headquarters in Los Angeles, with offices and production facilities in New York and London. Disney Channel, combining original series, movies and specials with timeless classics, is the first general entertainment television network designed for kids and families. Just to try it, I started a Howard Family list.
