I'm around all week! But please don't eat my phone again.

I think the main difference is that there's a tremendous amount of stress and pressure around children today. We need to give them tools to help them build resiliency in the face of challenges.

What's the same? Children still go through the same stages of development as they grow. They flourish in safe, nurturing environments. It's really important that a child feels loved and supported.

I've known Cookie Monster a long time and trust me, it doesn't matter if the phone looks like a cookie. He'll eat anything. We're trying to have him control his impulses and eat a more balanced diet, but phones shouldn't be on the menu ever.

Wow! Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words!

We always are looking for the best content for all of our characters and we all love Bert and Ernie here, too! (But I have to admit, Grover is my personal favorite.)

As for older content, there's actually a collection coming out this fall called "Sesame Street: 50 Years and Counting" that includes favorite segments from every decade. It, and my book, are part of our year-long anniversary celebration!

Yep! That's me! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed those because they were designed for you, as a parent, to inspire you to create your own interactive playful learning moments with your child :)
