Every day in his television show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Fred Rogers talked to children about everyday life. Much of his efforts centered on helping children to be mentally fit.
Good mental health for children means being able to develop secure, trusting relationships, expressing emotions appropriately, and interacting with others.
Through this song, What do you do with the mad that you feel? Mr. Rogers lets children know it is okay to have feelings and helps them learn the self-control necessary to manage their anger and channel it into a productive activity.
