I have nothing against Dora and I am even glad that she's back to being a Dora fan. For several months, she's been dancing and singing Miley Cyrus. Her music, I think, is way too old for my daughter. But don't you notice it? Dora lacks the right ways I want to impart to my kid. I don't know. Maybe it's time that I introduce her to shows with more substance. And there are some English phrases that I know, are wrong. Dora or Diego would often say 'Good sitting!, good calling! or good jumping!' Is this even proper? I am no English guru but I just don't think Dora's translated properly.
Children must master the language of things before they master the language of words.”—Friedrich Froebel, Pedagogics of the Kindergarten, 1895

Ola, Dora!
Yona at 4 is still fascinated with Dora the Explorer. She could watch Dora episodes over and over again and could even speak a number of Spanish words that sometimes I need Spanish translation services so I could understand her.
