Sesame Street in Communities

Sesame Street is discussing topics, such as parental addiction, in their communities webpage. "When a family member struggles with addiction, the whole family struggles. Children often think it's their fault; they feel shame, embarrassment, guilt, and loneliness; they may feel invisible. It takes special effort to start important conversations and answer children's questions. But parents, teachers, caregivers, and other caring adults can comfort children and guide them through difficult moments. With love and support, the family can cope with the challenges of addiction together."

GET More Tips

Be available for your children

Notice times when your kids are most likely to talk - for example, at bedtime, before dinner, in the car - and be available.

Let your kids know you're listening

When your children are talking about concerns, try to stop what you are doing and listen.

Respond in a way your children will hear

Soften strong reactions; kids will tune you out if you appear angry or defensive.

What's Trending
