PBS Parents launches THE PARENT SHOW WITH ANGELA SANTOMERO at Mom
2.0, a national blogger’s conference in New Orleans. Hosted by Ms.
Santomero, the Co-Creator and Executive Producer of the top-rated PBS KIDS series SUPER WHY and one of the key visionaries behind the long-running, award-winning Blue’s Clues, THE PARENT SHOW is just that: a show for parents.
Offered online only, the show can be viewed and shared whenever a
parent needs advice, ideas or a laugh. New episodes will air weekly, and
in between, parents can chat with Angela through her blog on
PBSPARENTS.org, and on Twitter
@AngelaSanto.
THE PARENT SHOW’s
mantra is that there is no way to be a perfect parent, but there are a
million ways to be a good one. Through the series and blog, PBS Parents
is striving for a fun, judgment-free community where parents share tips,
advice and a sense of humor. THE PARENT SHOW is available on PBSPARENTS.org, one of the leading online destinations for parents and educators with over half a million visitors each month.
Each week, THE PARENT SHOW
will explore a topic that parents are dealing with today – such as
school readiness, media habits or healthy eating – through a video
interview, a follow-up video message, and a blog post. Angela will
interview noted experts with a wide range of backgrounds, from
astrophysicists to chefs to puppeteers, who will share their unique and
fresh ideas and tips for parents. She will also go behind the scenes
with content creators, producers, and personalities from PBS
programs. Each interview will be followed up with an additional video,
in which Angela will delve more deeply into the weekly issue at hand.
Angela will also share her own personal experiences through a weekly
blog post. On PBSPARENTS.org,
moms and dads will be encouraged to join the conversation, suggest
topics for future webisodes, ask questions, post comments, and interact
with each other. (* from PBS website)
