Parent Incarceration
Sesame Street in Communities website has numerous articles and videos
both in English and Spanish to help parents talk with their children about
another parent being in jail or prison.
Coping With Incarceration
The incarceration of a loved one can be overwhelming for both children and caregivers. Because of the feeling of stigma, it takes special effort to start important conversations and answer kids’ questions. But parents can comfort children and guide them through difficult moments just by talking. With love and support, the family can cope with the challenges of incarceration together.
Encarcelamiento
El encarcelamiento de un ser querido puede ser algo muy abrumador para los niños y sus cuidadores. Debido al estigma del encarcelamiento se requiere de un gran esfuerzo para iniciar conversaciones importantes y contestar las preguntas de los niños. Los padres pueden consolar a los niños y guiarlos en los momentos difíciles, hablándoles sobre lo que pasa. Con amor y apoyo la familia puede lidiar con los retos que trae consigo el encarcelamiento.
