What Parents Need to Know

About Breakfast with Bear

Parents need to know that Bear, the loveable grizzly, visits the home of a new child friend each episode and learns about this friend's unique morning routine to prepare for school. This show provides an excellent model for kids to learn more from other kids about self-help skills including: brushing teeth, getting dressed, and eating breakfast. Interspersed in Bear and friend's conversations are songs, activities, and other mini-shows that are also geared for preschool-aged kids. At the end, Bear is taught a special skill of his friend such as beading a bracelet or a new hopscotch routine. Then he and the friend say good-bye to the viewer and head off to start their day.

    Part of our moringing routine

    My 4 kids aged 1-8 love to get going in the morning with Breakfast with Bear. You should have seen my youngest doing the Morning Mambo! It was so cute! We would even have breakfast at the same time as Bear! In between seeing Bear, there were other shows that I could trust would be ok for my kids to watch while I made breakfast and did my morning chores! We loved Breakfast with Bear.

    This is Daniel Cook has to go!

    We love your other shows, but don't get the idea of "This is Daniel cook". All three of my children just don't get it! The child doesn't even have a great personality and it was boring. We recommend you replace it with something else more entertaining.
