When Parents Are Deployed is a television special produced by Sesame Workshop that focuses on the educational and emotional needs of children with parents and caregivers deployed by the military.
The special premiered on December 27, 2006, at 9:00 pm on most PBS stations. However, airtimes varied, with some stations choosing to air the program at other times and others showing it two or even three times throughout the night. It is set to re-air on PBS in April 2009.[1]
The special, hosted by Cuba Gooding, Jr., is targeted at educating adults about the issues and effects of parental deployment on children, rather than targeting the affected children and their parents (which has been addressed in the special Talk, Listen, Connect support material). Apart from the new framing footage with Gooding, the special contains the Muppet scenes from the Talk, Listen, Connect video, featuring Elmo and his Dad. The special also included interview with affected families, and specialists.
This special presents three stages of deployment, which are as follows:
- Stage One: Preparing for Deployment
- Stage Two: Staying Connected
- Stage Three: Homecoming
The Spanish dub of the special, Cuando el servicio llama: Vivencias de familias militares was created in 2007, with Gaby Rivero as host. The special aired on public television station V-me over the Memorial Day weekend: May 26, May 27 and May 28.[2]
The speicals was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2007 for "Outstanding Children's Program".
