I love the “Healthy Habits for Life” section in Healthy Initiatives. Too many children are obese today because of poor eating habits and lack of exercise. I’m glad that Sesame Street recognizes this issue and is addressing it accordingly.

I learned that babies are natural learners, picking up knowledge from the day they are born and learning thousands of things by the time they enter school. A child’s parents are an integral part of this process, providing the first “classroom” experiences in the home, the car, the grocery store, and most importantly, the lap.
The Bert and Ernie song is fantastic!! Thanks for the chance.

I learned that the Children’s Workshop had it’s own store
Living in a military town, I like that Sesame Workshop launched a groundbreaking, bilingual (English/Spanish), multi-phase, multimedia initiative for young children and their military families called Talk, Listen, Connect. The initiative was born from a strong and singular hope—to recognize the thousands of American children and families who know all too well what it’s like to see a loved one go off to war. Now, three years later, Talk, Listen, Connect aims to provide support and significant resources for military families with children between the ages of two and five who are experiencing the effects of deployment, multiple deployments, and combat-related injuries.
I learned that “A” Is for Asthma provides parents and caregivers with clear and easy steps for controlling a child’s asthma.
