Description: "The award-winning creator of Blue's Clues, Super Why!, and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood shares the secret sauce behind her shows' powerful, transformative results in the form of eleven research-based, foundational "clues" to ensure that preschoolers flourish academically, socially, and emotionally during this critical time"--

Studies show that pausing to interact, playing to solve problems, diffusing with humor, and using repetition are the hidden clues conscious parents use to raise successful kids and help them learn critical thinking skills, foster empathy, and nurture their sense of self-worth. Santomero has spent decades working to instill confidence in her young viewers. Here she breaks down the philosophy behind her shows into concrete strategies that parents and educators can incorporate into their family and classroom to set their preschoolers up for success.
