Barney...A Helping Hand for Growing Children was a marketing campaign launched in February 2004. The campaign eventually evolved into a new post-show segment that first aired during Season 9 episodes. This segment later appeared in 2004-2009 reruns of Seasons 7-8 on PBS Kids.

Barneyahelpinghandforgrowingchildren

Title-card styled logo

The management launched the campaign in early 2004 as a means to promote the series as a platform for all the essentials of its target audience.

Briefly replacing the Barney Says segment from the previous eight seasons, the segment sorts each episode into five core educational concepts: 

  • Sharing and Good Manners (aka Good Manners and Healthy Habits)
  • Caring and Emotional Development (aka Love and Caring)
  • Imagining and Creativity (aka Creativity and Imagination)
  • Dancing and Movement (aka Physical Skills)
  • Learning Educational Concepts Through Music and Play (aka Learning Through Educational Activities and Play and Early Learning)
