Sesame Street: Families Stand Together

Approximately two out of three middle class families are at high risk of sustaining or losing their economic security. Too often, parents are being forced to make difficult decisions that affect their childrens well-being. In response to these recent changes in family economics, Sesame Street has produced a primetime special, Families Stand Together: Feeling Secure in Tough Times. This hour-long special, hosted by Al Roker, Deborah Roberts and Elmo, aims to help families with children, ages two to eight, experiencing difficult economic circumstances by offering strategies and tips that can lead to positive outcomes for their childrens physical and emotional well-being during this tough economic climate.
