Sesame Street new muppet, Alex, has a parent in jail...



Alex is tackling a tough issue....

His dad is incarcerated

One in twenty eight US children have one parent in jail, which is more than children with parents deployed. 

Sesame Street is finding a way to help children like Alex through the loveable muppets.

Sesame Workshop  created the “Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration” initiative, an online tool kit intended to help kids with a parent in prison find support and comfort, and provide families with strategies and tips to talk to their children about incarceration.

What are your thoughts?

A narrow media scope of a broad spectrum of autism…


heart puzzle
Autism is a reality for our family, especially our son. I know comparing is never a good thing, but television and some media portray autism grossly different from our reality. It is a prettier version, if you will, of autism. Most characters in movies or television with autism are “high functioning”, “borderline genius”, with some social issues. Autism does not look like that at our house, nor does it look that way with a vast number of families.
I was interviewed several months ago about autism, but our story was not included. I’m guessing we did not paint a picture of autism that was close to “normal”, like people see in the movies. 
My passion was to educate and bring awareness, and acceptance, but as long as we paint a narrow picture and not a broad spectrum, we will never see change outside our community.
A huge piece of the puzzle is missing…awareness and acceptance and understanding only begin when people truly know what autism is.

Harmonie’s Helpful Hints….HOMEMADE Mosquito TRAP – Under $5


DIY Mosquito Trap
Bring it on Mosquitoes!
HOMEMADE Mosquito TRAP – Under $5
Items Needed:
1 Cup of Water
¼ cup of Brown Sugar
1 gram of yeast (How much is 1 gram? - Use half of your 2 Liter cap (see photo)
1 – Two liter bottle
Black Electrical tape
HOW:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.
2. Mix brown sugar with hot water.
3. Let cool. (If you’re impatient like me, put in the fridge for a few minutes).
4. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the cut 2 liter bottle.
5. Add the Yeast. (No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide which attracts mosquitoes).
6. Place the top half of the bottle upside down and tape them together on the outside with the black electrical tape or something black as Mosquitoes are attracted to black.
7. Place the trap outside away from you normal gathering area.
8. Change the solution every 2 weeks for continual control.
