THANK YOU SESAME STREET. If you have a spouse/friend in the military, Sesame Street has come out with a video to help children who have a parent who is deploying. Go to www.miiltaryonesource.com or call 800-342-9647 for the video and related materials.
My husband is a US Marine currently training in CA for a fall deployment. My kids loved the video and it has really helped them express their emotions a bit better. We do not live near a military community right now so it was great to see them connect with Elmo and sympathize with his dad leaving. However, the "deployment" part of the video also shows Elmo's dad returning home. The related music video showing kids hugging their returning parents leaves them distraught. It is a mixed blessing...
