Another Kid Show/Another Parenting Lesson

I learn a lot by watching Emily Elizabeth care for her big red dog on the PBS kid show, Clifford. She treats him with a lot of respect and it is always evident how much she loves him. In turn, Clifford generally makes good decisions.



I also learn a lot about what NOT to do by watching Jetta. How did this girl get to be such a little stinker? I often wonder what her mother does, or does not do, that is teaching Jetta to value all the wrong things. The show seems to be very careful not to show Jetta's parents' interactions with her which is probably good. I would rather focus on the positive parenting lessons I get from watching ee and her big red dog.
