Scheduled to air today, October 17, Sesame Street will address preschool bullying. right… PRESCHOOL! Yes, it’s a fact that bullying starts at this age! Luckily, Sesame Street is addressing this aggressively when Big Bird joins The Good Birds Club after being a victim of bullying. Since October is Bullying Awareness Month, the timing of this programming is perfect!

Also, on October 18th & 21st, Sesame Street will teach children to be proud of who they are and be more accepting of others. When children are proud of themselves and see the good in others, the bullying mentality can be subconsciously extinguished and replaced with hearts that cares for their peers.

As always, great job Sesame Street!
