All three of my daughters (now adults with children of their own) learned their ABC’s and more while watching Sesame Street. Please count me in. Thanks!!

I really liked the Talking Cents To Our Children Program which is used to teach financial skills and responsibility with money to young kids. Great idea!

You Can Ask Helps Children Cope With Difficult Times is a very important addition to the Sesame website. I think it would help children and adults of ALL ages.

I just like the fact that Sesame Street has been around for such a long time, about 40 years I think. I remember watching it when I was little and I think it’s great that my kids can grow up with my favorite chilhood characters.

Whoa….I learned that Sesame Workshop is a whole lot more than a tv show! Specifically, that there are many initiatives like Talking Cents to raise financially wise children (so important!!) and another that aims to teach literacy skills in rural mississippi! I already knew that this was a great organization, but had no idea everything they did!

I also “stumbled on” your site. Thanks for the giveaway

the Healthy Habits for Life part is beneficial for everyone!

i love the them of Love

I did not realize that Sesame Street is celebrating it’s 40th. I loved that show growing up and now my 2 year old does too. I also did not know that Dragon Tales is one of this sites programs. My son loves that show. Thanks for the contest!

[...] Rockin Mama – Elmo Loves You (Dec 30) [...]

I love everything about this show. I grew up on it as did my kids. My youngest still loves it and I have a 1 year old grandson who loves it also. Elmo is the best!

I like that they Instill “respect and healthy curiosity for other cultures.” My son LOVES Elmo. He constantly asks to watch Elmo, since sesame street has their videos online. Every time he sees Elmo at a store he gets so excited. I’ve been wanting to buy him an Elmo video (since we don’t own any, just watch clips online). This sounds like a good one to start with.

I grew up with Sesame street and have memories of watching it in Kindergarten. My kids all love it too.

Megret

I think it’s interesting that the Sesame Street broadcasts in other countries (Ireland, for one) have different characters/puppets than we see!

Thanks for the chance! My daughter LOVES Elmo.

Sheila Capell

Elmo helped potty train my toddler and I’m so grateful for that potty training video!! It also got him putting on his own clothes and shoes…crazy! On the side the talking cents program is so great for kids, perfect! I love this program and grew up watching it, so great for kids!

At Sesame Workshop they are teaching children responsible global citizenship.

Healthy Habits are a good one!

I learned about Grover going Global. Encouraging preschoolers to understand and appreciate new people, places, and ideas.

Seeing an opportunity to maximize children’s potential in this area, Sesame Workshop partnered with the University of North Carolina’s Center for International Understanding in 2007 to develop Around the World With Grover: Tools for Exploration.

I found this interesting since I am from NC.

I love the fact that it teaches a few words in sign language! Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway!

I love all of the core values that Sesame Street teaches and has taught throughout the years, such as Respect, Dealing with Illness, etc.

I loved learning Sesame has a DVD Here For You that helps children cope with serious illness. I think that is awesome! I have a friend who’s child has a brain tumor and I have had to spend time at the Children’s hospital here with my daughter. I think this is a great concept that Sesame street has. What a great idea to have characters that all kids love and know helping them in such a tough time for them and their families!

I think that it is very cool that Sesame Workshop is In Tanzania, raising children’s awareness about malaria prevention and treatment.
