Sesame Street Unveils iPhone and iPad App for Military Families

Elmo and his friends are helping military families help their children deal with the stresses of deployment with its free new app available for the iPhone and iPad, the show said in a statement. 

The Sesame Street for Military Families app helps parents speak to children about deployments, homecomings, injuries, grief and self-expression. Because of the sensitive nature of the content, Sesame Street recommends parents review the app before using it with their children.
