I love to look back on my posts from the previous year. It really helps to see which posts are your favorites. I share a number of different types of posts at Bits of Positivity. Parenting posts, especially posts with tips on raising kids with good character, are some of my main posts. I also share posts with inspiration, motivation, word art freebies, and ways to make a difference.
Today, I’m sharing my most popular post published in 2021, which is a parenting/character education post. I still have some posts from earlier years of my blog that are consistently among my most popular posts each month, but today I just want to focus on my my most popular post published in 2021.

My Most Popular Post from 2021 at Bits of Positivity
I’ve used Google Analytics to find my most popular post. My most popular post (and series) from 2021 focuses on social-emotional learning in young children. It features lyrics from an amazing Daniel Tiger book with the related songs and videos that can be found on YouTube and PBS to promote social-emotional learning in a variety of areas.
This post (and series) is based on the book Daniel’s Little Songs for Big Feelings (More than 50 strategy song lyrics, helpful tips for parents and caregivers, and more!). I think this is a fabulous book with so many great songs for social-emotional learning for kids and helpful hints for grown-ups. The kids’ part is recommended for ages 3-7. I love that this book (and Daniel Tiger in general) uses the teachings of Fred Rogers.
Because only one verse of lyrics is included for each song (along with a related story for kids and tips for parents), I wanted to find videos and complete songs online to help children fully benefit from each of the amazing songs and lessons included in the book.
I have 8 blog posts in the series:
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About New Experiences {Social Emotional Learning} (1st post in the series, but any order is fine.)
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Big Feelings {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Taking Care of Your Body {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Growing Up and Being Independent {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Family {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Friends and Neighbors {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Playtime {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Staying Safe and Being Scared {Social Emotional Learning}
I published them in the order the chapters appear in the book, but the blog posts and videos are fine in any order.
Big feelings are difficult for children to deal with … and difficult for parents as well. So it’s not surprising that My most popular post published in 2021 is Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Big Feelings {Social Emotional Learning}. My 2nd, 3rd, and 4th most popular posts were all from the series, too: Free Daniel Tiger Songs About New Experiences {Social Emotional Learning}, Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Growing Up and Being Independent {Social Emotional Learning}, and Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Taking Care of Your Body {Social Emotional Learning} (my 3½-year-old grandson’s favorite)!
I love to focus on character education and growth mindset. The Daniel Tiger series is a great way to introduce character education and growth mindset to toddlers and preschoolers.
