Parenting is outrageously difficult; it asks us to tap into qualities and competencies that we may not yet have. If you look closely into the past for such supportive guidance, you will find a well of wisdom about child wellbeing offered by a neighbor who promoted healing, gratitude, forgiveness, and acceptance of others. That neighbor was Mister Rogers. This article takes a look at what Fred Rogers has taught two mothers of young children, who are also graduate students preparing to be elementary and special education teachers, about raising, parenting, and teaching young children. Through the lens of Fred Rogers, they share their personal parent stories and reflect on how "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" supported their children's emotional and social wellbeing through play, and the importance of celebrating the strengths and differences of everyone in the "neighborhood" by appreciating the gifts of who you are inside the heart and soul.
