When Parents Are Deployed



When Parents Are Deployed is a television special produced by Sesame Workshop that focuses on the educational and emotional needs of children with parents and caregivers deployed by the military.

The half-hour special is planned to premiere on December 27, 2006 at 9:00 pm on PBS. 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).
