5 Lessons from Margaret McFarland, The Scientist Behind Mister Rogers
Lauren Vinopal, author and writer for Fatherly, wrote a fantastic article this week. In the article, she discusses the role Margaret McFarland had on the life of Fred Rogers and the show, Mister Rogers Neighborhood. As a young theology student attending the University of Pittsburgh in the 1950s, Rogers studied under developmental psychologist McFarland. Over the course of three decades, Rogers and McFarland met to discuss psychology, upcoming scripts, songs, and of course, children, on a weekly and sometimes daily basis and her wisdom is imprinted all over the neighborhood.
