While in Treetopolis, Tom and his friends, Ariella, Twigs, Squirmturn and Zigzoo will invariably run into a problem or disaster that needs fixing.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Chica is a five-year-old chick who spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgment, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure-a fantasy transformation to animation-- where Bunji and Stitches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development, and Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills. |

WNYT/WNYA-TV - Children's Report 4th quarter 2014 October 2014 Antibiotics in Kids- WNYT- October 1, 2014- 5:00 am Certain antibiotics taken before the age of two could play a role in childhood obesity. In a new study, researchers found that kids who were treated four or more times with antibiotics at an early age were more likely to be obese. Experts say antibiotics may alter the bacteria in our gut which can leave children more vulnerable to weight gain. This link was only found with the use of broad spectrum antibiotics which treat a wide range of bacteria.
