​

Sesame Workshop has finished production on a new television special titled “When Parents Are Deployed”. The special focuses on the educational and emotional needs of children with parents and caregivers deployed by the military.

The half-hour show is set to premiere on December 27, 2006 at 9:00 pm on PBS (check local listings for details). The special, hosted by Cuba Gooding Jr, is targeted at educating the public about the issues and effects of parental deployment on children and what they can do.

Many local PBS stations are planning to repeat the special after the initial premiere so be sure to check local listings for further airings.

For more information on the special read this article.

So... Apart from the celebrity host... How is this special any different from the DVD release Talk, Listen, Connect released back in August of this same year?

The special, hosted by Cuba Gooding Jr, is targeted at educating adults about the issues and effects of parental deployment on children and what they can do, rather than targeting the effected children and their parents (which has been addressed in the special " Talk Listen Connect" support material).

Hope this helps, o' fang-bearing caped wonder.

Thank you o fur-covered mule-eared moderator. But not rully sure what the differences are between the two specials other than the celebrity host as previously mentioned. Corey, aka Beaker, posted an inciteful thread with some thoughts on this release over in the General Discussion section. You guys should give it a read if you get a chance.

Difference: the new one is about educating adults how to deal with it while the old one was about the effects on children.

I may not be helping any..?

One is targetting children, the other is targetting parents.

Oh, OK then. Thanks Bry and Officer Kev Bear, aka The Foz.
