Woolly And Tig

The simple, yet constructive British series offers lots of important social emotional lessons about understanding one's feelings, putting things in perspective, and finding ways to problem solve. Each five minute installment offers simple storylines (performed by various members of Betsy McCredie's actual family) with which preschoolers can easily relate. Meanwhile, Woolly acknowledges and breaks down Tig's feelings about her experience(s) to her, which allows the little girl to feel that she is being heard and understood. She is then reassured, and gently guided through a thinking process to help her better cope with the situation she is reacting to. While children watching can certainly learn, and benefit from, the lessons offered here, the communication strategies and ideas Woolly And Tig offer gives adult viewers a chance to see how one can have successful conversations with a child about the feelings they are negotiating.
