Sesame Street: Incarceration

This is an app for families coping with a loved one who is incarcerated.

The Sesame Street: Incarceration app provides parents and caregivers with tools to help children ages 3-8 cope with the many transitions related to a parent’s incarceration.

Features include:

• Tip Books providing parents and caregivers with age-appropriate language to talk honestly with children (3–8) as well as strategies to help children cope with a parent’s incarceration

• Videos featuring real families and Sesame Street Muppets

• An interactive storybook and photo activity for caregivers to use with children

• Suggestions for additional support and educational resources

We recommend you use the tools and watch the videos before sharing them with your children so that you can choose what is most relevant and helpful for your family.

Resources in this app are part of Sesame Street’s Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration initiative. You can access additional project materials online, at sesamestreet.org/incarceration.
