Sesame for Military Families: Supporting Military Children with Engaging Resources

Sesame for Military Families is an educational app developed by Sesame Workshop, designed to support the loved ones of military personnel in teaching their children important life skills. As an extension of Sesame Workshop’s ongoing efforts to support troops and their families, this app provides a wealth of bilingual (English and Spanish) resources right at your fingertips.

With Sesame Street for Military Families, parents and caregivers can access a variety of engaging videos, articles, storybooks, and parent guides to help their preschool and school-aged children navigate transitions common to military families. Topics covered include deployments, homecomings, injuries, grief, and self-expression.

Due to the sensitive nature of the topics covered in this app, it is highly recommended that parents or guardians preview the materials before co-viewing with their children. Sesame Street for Military Families is a valuable tool for providing support and guidance to military children, helping them cope with the unique challenges they may face.

For additional resources, Sesame Workshop also offers the Feel Electric! app for military children, as well as social media presence on Facebook.com/SesameStreetForMilitaryFamilies and the website MilitaryFamiliesNearAndFar.org, which provides tools for military children to create, communicate, and stay connected.
