I don't know about you, but I think I have seen every known episode of
Dora the Explorer. I have learned more Spanish from that fooball
shaped head girl then I did In my yrs of spanish class in high school.
What can we Learn by watching Dora? Well beyond the obvious-learning
to count in Spanish, colors and patterns you can also learn that when
there are people or in doras case foxes that want what you have they
will do what it takes to get it from you.
So life lesson # 1 ( not in order of importance)
Beware of swipers-lock up your stuff mainly your house and cars. There
are sneaky foxes out there!
If you are going somewhere it is important to have a plan to get
there. Dora uses a map. If you choose a map good luck finding one that
sings.
Lesson #2-if youre not sure how to get somewhere use a map or much
easier a gps. If you get lost get yourself back on track! A map is a
plan and sometimes it helps to make a plan.
Doras bff Is Boots who happens to be a talking monkey. They go on
adventures together and help eachother along the way.
Lesson #3- friends are important-treat them right and help them in
times of need-no need to mention anything about monkeys or said friend
may become exfriend.
Every episode of Dora takes place somewhere different unless of
course it's a repeat. I swear sometimes they play the same episode
every day for a week!
Lesson #4 in order to learn something new you must do it over and
over again- in otherwords practice makes perfect!
Notice there are always songs that are sung on the show? If you're
lucky enough you will have one stuck In your head for days and belt
out lyrics at work.
Lesson#5-if you need to remember something such as a grocery list or
food order you can make it into a song and it will be easy to
remember. I'd look for a pen and paper first.
So as you can see Dora has life lessons anyone can use and these are
just a few! Gracias Dora!

I don't know how I missed this one but just read it tonight...it made me laugh so hard because I can totally relate and I absolutely agree!!! My husband and I are always asking ourselves why "the map" has to have such an annoying voice when he introduces himself!!
