Gordon: Hello, Sproutlets. I'm Gordon from Sesame Street. Every year, There are number of natural disasters that affect many people. Even if you are not directly affected, the television coverage of these events can be scary, especially for young children. Back in 2001, we featured a week-long story about a hurricane on Sesame Street. This story line allowed us to provide strategies and to help children cope with their emotions while faced with a natural disaster. So watch with it your child, and talk about fears or concerns he or she might have.
