On Monday, Accurso posted to her Instagram account photos of a meeting she said she had last week with Rahaf, a 3-year-old girl from Gaza who lost her legs in an airstrike, and the child’s mother. The meeting was arranged through the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund."
Maybe toddlers whose home is rubble need a little mental escape into a Ms. Rachel video. Mr Rogers would be better, but it’s not like they can go to a nice park.
Are either of them dubbed? I don’t think subtitles that young would be appropriate
There are people in Gaza who speak English and want their kids to learn it. Also, subtitles or closed captions is a good first step in teaching toddlers to read.
Yes to the English. But toddlers can’t read yet, so subtitles won’t be useful unless an adult is also reading or explaining them — just watching TV, even with subtitles, is not enough for language development in toddlers.
