• “When you feel so mad you wanna roar, take a deep breath and count to 4.” It’s so cute that we count and she takes a deep breath. We use that a few times a week. It works depending on what she’s upset about. Daniel Tiger has really helped her. —Kristin A.
• My 3-year-old is really practicing the "when you feel so mad that you wanna roar, take a deep breath and count to 4" song. It's been a great tool to help him manage his temper! He's even picked up on what they said in the show that sometimes you have to do it more than once. And sometimes he counts higher. We use it practically every day! —Leslie S.
• My kids are tweens now, but we still break out “when you’re feeling mad and want to roar, take a deep breath and count to 4!” It’s a great reminder, and might even get a smile/break the mood. As toddlers and preschoolers this strategy was a great tool and reminder to teach them how to cope with big emotions — and a reminder for us as parents to take a moment as a well. —Carrie F.
• “If you get upset and you want to roar, take a deep breath... and count to four!” My kids don't watch the show anymore but it becomes a joke that makes them calm down, remembering their friend Daniel and how much they learned from him. —@lunedesavie
• “When you feel so mad that you want to roar.” We use this all the time, even me as the parent I sing this song. —@nobothersgivenjen
• “Take a deep breath and count to 4.” 👏 My 5 year old grew up watching “Tigey”and will sing this song if she sees mom getting overwhelmed ❤️ —@chelzmariee

• I used “it’s almost time to stop so choose one more thing to do” ALL the time when my kids were little. Especially helpful when we were leaving playgrounds! Everyone left happy! —Ellen S.
• “It’s almost time to stop, so choose one more thing to do” Has been a constant in our house for years, and continues to help my almost 6 year old son during transition times from playing at the playground to getting ready for bed. We probably use it everyday!” —@msmonicaguarino
• “It’s almost time to stop, so choose one more thing to do” was a parenting revelation when my oldest was a toddler with a hard time transitioning activities. It was such an a-ha moment for us all! —@emiliebandy

• My kids are 11 and 6 and we STILL sing “you’ve gotta try new food because they might taste good” mainly for other kids who join us for meals as I partially credit this song for why my kids will try almost anything! —Tammie K.
• We have the Daniel Tiger Parents App and use all the songs. My [little one] loves to tell us “You gotta try new foods because they might taste good” 100 times a day. The last time was 5 minutes ago. —@rachel_ln

• So my favorite is the potty song “when you gotta go potty stop and go right away!” This song taught my youngest to use the potty! He is 11 years old now but he still remembers the song. He also still has his stuffed talking #danieltiger —@sunshine_serrano_valenzuela
• All of them!! “Enjoy the wow that’s happening now.” During potty training “stop and go right away.” When we had a new baby “there’s time for you and baby too.” These songs have been a huge part of my daughter's preschool years and even now that she’s almost 7! —@taradawn87

• Another favorite is when something seems bad “turn it around and find something good” because we try to focus on the positive things in life. —@nobothersgivenjen
• “If something goes wrong, turn it around!” My 5 year old hasn't watched the show in a few years but still sings the songs. —@bearahtm

• My gal is 7 now, but we used ‘em all. Just yesterday "thank you for everything you do" popped out of mouths. Good stuff 🐯—Heather G.

• Lately it’s been “grown ups come back.” My preschooler says she misses us when we leave, so the song is reassurance that we will always be back ❤️ —@monpetitchau

• “Saying I’m sorry is the 1st step, then how can I help?” We use this with our 2 elementary aged daughters as we navigate relational conflicts—and it’s a helpful reminder for us adults too! —@crlw88
• We also say, not sing, “saying I’m sorry is the first step, now how can I help?” —Tammie Nielsen Knights

• Also, “sometimes you have two feelings at the same time, and that’s ok” has been a huge help for him as he struggles with anxiety. I could go on…! The Daniel Tiger strategy songs are such a wonderful support and tool! ❤️🐯 —@msmonicaguarino
