Michelle Obama Sets a Good Example–And Encourages Parents to Do the Same

Seems like everyone these days wants to be like Michelle Obama–even a little, furry, red muppet! Mrs. Obama recently joined Elmo in a PSA to encourage parents to set healthy examples–such as eating healthy foods, reading books, and getting regular exercise–for their children. Sesame Street has always used adult-muppet interactions on the show to model good parent-child interactions for parents who may be watching the show along with their children. It’s good to see the First Lady taking part in that tradition, and leveraging her status as a role model to help parents make good choices.
