(New York Post) It's brought to you by the letter P — for prison.
PBS's "Sesame Street" is moving from ABCs and counting numbers to offering its young viewers a bigger lesson in life: how to cope when Mommy or Daddy lands behind bars.
Called "Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration," the program is distributing "tool kits'' to schools, community centers and even jails in 10 states — including New York — starting today to help kids ages 3 to 8, organizers said.
According to one "tip'' for caregivers, "Before you visit your incarcerated loved one, let your child know some of the things she can expect to happen. For instance, ‘We won't be able to sit in the same room with Mommy, but we can see her through a window and read a story together.' ''
