Show 17: Excerpt - How Sesame Street Helps Kids Cope with Crisis
Originally featured on the Emergency Prep & the Big Bad World show.
The friendly Muppet characters on Sesame Street may help children understand and cope with disasters like hurricanes, shootings, terrorism or war. For an example, take a listen to any of the clips from Sesame Workshop’s “You Can Ask” program – it covers difficult issues like fear and loss and it is designed for kids and caregivers to watch together.
Sesame Workshop is the group behind the production of Sesame Street; it has developed tips for parents and caregivers, kits to help families prepare for emergencies and deal with tragedies - not just in the US, but around the world. Dr. Charlotte Cole (pictured above left), Senior Vice President for Global Education for Sesame Workshop spoke with contributor Jessica Cochran about the Workshop's efforts to help kids through disasters.
