Daniel Cook

[naner]

Does anyone else just love this kid? Both my kids love his little shows.
Yesterday we saw Ashley Young and they were both mad. All morning they were saying "where is Daniel Cook and why is there a new girl?" She's cute too, but my kids enjoy learing from Daniel. I hope Disney renewed his contract.

Disney doesn't do the Daniel/Emily show - it comes from Treehouse, a Canadian kids channel that is like Disney/Noggin.

He never pays attention to what the people are trying to teach him, always interrupts when they are talking, and generally, is just very annoying!!

Totally agree!!! My kids watch him, but DH & I dislike the show.

My kids don't like those shows, they usually ask me to turn the channel. lol

Same here - lol !! I actually can tolerate him much better than dd4. I caught Emily for the first time yesterday, but couldn't see it all. Maybe a girl will appeal to dd better.

I have always wondered if Daniel Cook has some form of Autism.. He never looks directly at the guests and as a few autisic tendencies...( watch him closely and youll see what I mean)

Im not positive but he really reminds me of a few kids I work with!

It is kind of sad that so many adults dislike this child for being "annoying, irratating, too serious" and for "not paying attention or making eye contact" (which is so easy to see on TV) . Too even go so far as to say they HATE the show and think he shows signs of being Autistic. What a shame that such harsh words are being used to describe a child who has entertained and delighted millions of children for the past few years. He kind of reminds me of a certain mouse I know....

Daniel Cook and Emily Yeung are bright, inquisitive, self-confident children who happen to have shows on TV. I imagine that each of those episodes takes more than one shot to get it right, but they always appear enthusiastic and in control every time. Perhaps their questions are not always as interesting or intrusive as something you might read in the National Enquirer, but these kids are only seven or eight years old. Give them a few more years to become jaded by the negativity of the world.

By the way, Daniel is so well loved, just for being him (imagine that!) that he has a second show called, "I Dare You!". It is all about encouraging children to get up and move. You can add motivating to his list of qualities.

We love you Daniel Cook! You are a terrific role model.

"If children live with critisim, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with kindness, they learn respect.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place to live."

And if he does?

This is not directly at you poster: Has anyone ever stopped to think that there are producers of this show and more than likely this is how they prefer the format of the show to flow. It's suppose to be a kid asking questions about things he knows nothing about. It seems like people will always have something petty to complain about. Want something to complain about - did we forget our babies are still being killer over there???

Poor Daniel, he is just a kid

Have you seen this?

His parents annoy me for putting him on TV. The show drove me nuts. I didn't know there is a new little girl...we might have to check her out. Luckily DD has moved on to Diego.

This is so cute! Thanks for posting it, not one that will entertain son forever but a couple weeks I think he'll ask to play it.

I haven't seen disney channel in a while and didn't realize Daniel was 8. Does he look that old?

We always thought he was cute. Son loved him when he was younger, he is 4 now and still likes him but not like he used to.

It was my pleasure. It is nice to see more Daniel Cook supporters. I found myself thinking that most of the people who entertain children, not including cartoon or animation, are adults. It is refreshing to have a child's point of view and we get that from both Daniel and Emily.

Cheers Everyone,
