When you tune in to Sesame Street you expect to find simple toddler and preschool lessons.
Big Bird will certainly be teaching letters. The Count will make learning math funny. And Cookie Monster will definitely empty a plate of cookies!
All of that is true of course, but Sesame Street has so much more to offer.
Kids will still learn their letters and numbers, but they will also be offered life lessons in a way that is easy for them to understand.
Sesame Street was a favorite of mine when I was little and now my kids love it.
There is something special about snuggling up to watch familiar characters sing and share stories.
After 40 years of making learning fun, Sesame Street has joined another household name. Starting January 2016, you will find new Sesame Street episodes on HBO. I’m excited to join in the effort to spread the word.
Friendship
What is a friend? How do you make friends? What do you do when you hurt a friend’s feelings?
These short videos manage to answer all of these questions in a very fun way.
- What are Friends
- Quiero Ser Tu Amigo (“I want to be your friend.”)
- Cave Compassion

Emotions are a huge topic for kids. They are feeling all these big feelings but don’t have the experience to know what to do with them.
Watching stories unfold in a healthy way helps kids connect with the way they feel. Not only does it put a name to the emotions, making it easier to explain how they feel, it also lets them know they are not the only ones to feel that way.
Healthy Eating Habits
We all want our kids to get excited about healthy food. Sesame Street makes food just as fun as everything else.
I especially love the last video in this section. The daughter convinces her parents to try new foods!
Find out the secrets for getting your kids to eat healthy.
Family
Family is one of the first things kids know and understand.
Learning more about other families and different parts of their own family helps to expand on the world around them.
Check out our family traditions for the holidays.
Recycling
How to take care of the world we live in is one of the most important lessons we can learn.
From recycling and reusing to purchasing used items instead of buying new, these videos break down this important topic in a way that had us watching over and over.
Make sure to mark the calendar – January 16th!
This updated version of Sesame Street on HBO is something we don’t want to miss. Follow Sesame Street and HBO on Facebook to stay connected while you wait.
