Keep Learning
In one episode of the Magic School Bus, Ms. Frizzle says, “If you keep asking questions, you’ll keep getting answers.” I think the overall message of this show is to keep exploring the world around you. Keep asking questions and trying to figure things out. What a perfect message for us as parents of special needs kids!! We just need to keep forging ahead and trying to better understand our kids and the world they need to navigate.
We’re huge fans of The Magic School Bus, although we’re purists – we only watch the old ones (this is Mikey’s rule, but I’m on board). We’ve been watching for a long time and we still love it!
