Wonderful DVD. Wonderful role model for children

"My 2 year-old thoroughly enjoys Caillou, and especially enjoyed watching this particular DVD, which features more of Caillou interacting with his little sister Rosie. Regarding some comments by others: I heartily disagree with those who claim Caillou is a whiner or bad role model for children. He is simply a child voicing the joys and frustrations of learning about his world and his emotions. A child is not an adult and should not be expected to act like an adult. It is important for children to feel that their emotions are understood and taken seriously, and it is important for the adults in their lives to properly support and respond to their needs (and provide discipline in a loving and patient manner). No, Caillou's parents do not hit or physically discipline their children, nor should they! Hurting a child physically does not teach them anything except that it is okay to hurt another person physically. It teaches them fear and mistrust of the people who should be providing them with the trust and security they so need and deserve. I think people who take the physical discipline route do so because it is much easier than the time and attention it takes to properly discipline a child."
Adorable and Great Show

"Caillou is the most adorable little boy out there. Our family adores Caillou it's almost like he's an extension of our family. We love all the adventures he has and I particularly like how he treats his baby sister Rosie. He can't stand to hear her cry and really watches over her. This a wonderful show for any collection!"
