Growing Up With Caillou

“My world is turning, changing each day!” – Growing Up With Caillou

One of the greatest reasons of children to grow up with Caillou is that Caillou himself grows up in the series. At first, Caillou is only 2 two years old but grows to the ripe age of four as the series continues. For a young child, Caillou is an amazing role model and one that they can honestly relate to. A Caillou doll makes a great friend!

Ah yes, the preschool party. Load up on napkins, plates, cups and more when planning your Caillou party. But, don’t forget the party favors! Save the environment with a reusable Caillou tote bag.

Caillou – More Than Just a Boy in a Yellow Shirt

Caillou, the small boy in the yellow shirt, has been entertaining and educating children for more than a decade. Parents and children alike are fans of the small bald boy because the stories, as told in the books, on the television show and in the children’s DVDs promote communication between parent and child. The series of books begins when Caillou is a baby, not quite a year old and go through his 6^th year. This allows children to grow up with him and offers them a friend they can relate to through each age and stage.

The stories are written from Caillou’s perspective – a key element to their educational value. Because he mirrors other children in age and life experience, the problems Caillou encounters and the feelings he has are the same as his young fans. This gives them someone to relate to and provides parents with a view into the world as experienced by their children. He is seen as a real hero to them and many children love to carry their Caillou plush toy with them as they go about their day.

The stories were all written based on the work of Dr. Francoise Dorto, an expert in child development. Her work centered on the premise that children do not have the carefree life they are thought to have, but come up against the same obstacles and challenges as adults. The difference for children is that they lack the communication skills and problem solving experiences of adults. She felt that in order to aid in the development of each child, they need to be respected as a person. This focus on childhood development is why the stories are so popular with parents.

Although the series can be seen on TV, your child can still watch Caillou, his parents, sister and cat in their adventures with the Caillou DVD collection. Each story takes on a problem or challenge that Caillou is facing and explains how the people in his life him to find a good solution. Using an everyday scenario that children can understand and relate to as the basis for the story helps children understand what they are going through. Watch the DVDs together and use Caillou’s adventures as a topic of discussion or to work through a challenging issue your child is facing.

The story of Caillou and the Missing Sock is a good example of how the books use Caillou’s experiences to teach children to problem solve. In the story, when he cannot find his sock, he ventures to the basement laundry room and through a series of misfortunes winds up locked in the basement with his Dad. His mother comes along and rescues them, providing a happy ending. This story offers several key learning opportunities to children. Caillou is self sufficient; he goes in search of his sock alone. When the basement door handle comes off the door, he knows he cannot handle this problem alone so he calls for his Dad to help. This also demonstrates trust and communication between parent and child. Caillou also learns that Dad can’t always save him, and that sometimes you need assistance from someone else if you are stuck. The way stories like this mimic real life situations and provide a possible solution from the child’s perspective, teach children how to handle similar situations in their own lives.

Aimed at helping parents and children learn to communicate and encouraging children to develop into their own unique person, Caillou provides both entertainment and education to children. The books, DVD collection and companion toys make great gifts for children from babies through the start of school.
