 Sesame Street has been a leader in children's educational resources for over 50 years. Since most of today's parents grew up watching the show, there is a level of trust when it comes to quality programming and resources.

The Sesame Street in Communities web portal has resources for over 30 topics that parents may face -- and some specifically for military families. Here are some of the resources you may find handy for your family, or to pass along to other military families in your community.

Transitions in Health Care

As military families continue to move, children and their caregivers will continue to find new health-care providers to visit. This can be challenging and frustrating, but the resources provided by the Sesame Workshop include a "Visiting the Doctor" game, as well as videos and printables to help children learn what to expect from their visits to their new doctor or dentist.

Deployments & Homecomings

Many military families are learning about homecomings and deployments for the first time this year, and the resources available from the Sesame Workshop can help with those emotions. The time leading to deployment can be scary for kids -- advice included in these resources can apply to parents, caregivers and teachers. Elmo also shares with viewers a video on coming home and lets kids in on the secret that sometimes homecomings are hard.

Injuries

One of the hardest topics to talk about with kids is injuries, especially those that aren't seen. Several collections of resources from the workshop help prepare children on what to expect when a parent or loved one is injured. From working through rehabilitation and what to expect for long-term injuries and caregiving, parents and children can prepare to walk the next chapter together.

Grief

No one wants to plan for teaching their children about grief, which is what makes this set of resources so important. Included is information on how to tell children someone has died, to suggestions on how to say goodbye, this section can be very helpful for caregivers in a very rough time.

Relocation

Moving is hard on military kids, and sometimes they need a little extra attention during the process. Sesame Workshop has resources to help prepare your kids for their next move, whether it's the first or the fifth time. Grover's moving adventure book, “When is Saturday,’’ is a great additional resource for talking to kids about an upcoming move.

Military to Civilian Life

Transitioning to civilian life is a family adventure, and Elmo is ready to join your family on that adventure. This collection of resources talks about communicating with kids, talking about feelings and making sure kids know how to continue friendships from far away.

Routines

Keeping a routine despite the unpredictability of military life is essential for parents and caregivers. Children find comfort in routines, even as they grow up and there are several ways to incorporate them into life, including at mealtime, bedtime and drop-off at day care or school. This collection of resources also includes a video and information on how to teach children about their waiting routine.

Health Emergencies

In cooperation with USAA, Sesame Workshop created a new collection of resources for families as the world continues to deal with COVID-19. Elmo and his dad have a video that thanks military families for their help, and there's a video with tips on how to stay connected with a parent who has to quarantine. Additionally, there are reading materials for parents and caregivers as well as printable activities for kids.

If your family needs resources for other topics, the Sesame Street in Communities page has information on topics ranging from autism to racial injustice to foster care.
