Sesame Street Tackles Real Life Issues for Many Children
Written by Andria on March 25, 2017
A new character was recently introduced on the classic children’s day time TV show.
The character, Alex, talks to his fellow puppets about his father’s incarceration.
The episode explains to children what incarceration is and how to handle a parent being away.
Sesame Street has always tried to be relevant to a wide spectrum of children. Do you think this episode was necessary?
