It takes place in an imaginary setting, Lazy Town, and most episodes relate children's eating and fitness habits to problem solving in their real world.

The underground spy and influencer who defines the ethos of Lazy Town is Robbie Rotten, and he determined to ruin the health and fitness practices of Stephanie and her friends.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Tree Fu Tom, is a live action/animated series about a little boy who lives in a rural area and has a rich fantasy life in the woods behind his home. Tom uses specific movements to summon up magic powers that permit him to morph into an animated hero and fly around in Treetopolis, the fantasy version of his woods. While in Treetopolis, Tom and his friends, Ariella, Twigs, Squirmturn and Zigzoo will invariably run into a problem or disaster that needs fixing. Tom calls upon the audience to practice original dance moves that will bring him "Big World" magic so he and his friends can resolve their challenge of the day. Educational messages reinforce positive socio-emotional content, with examples that model: being loyal to good friends, knowing how to ask for help, doing the right thing instead of what is convenient, making the effort to share rather than being selfish, or relying on teamwork in order to accomplish a goal. |

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 - January 2015 Teens and Religion- WNYT- January 2, 2015- 5:00 am- WNYA- January 3, 2015- 10:00 pm- January 4, 2015- 10:00 pm According to a new research study teenagers raised in harsh living environments are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol when they have access to churches and pastors. A separate study found kids and teenagers attending church felt more connected to their parents and communities. It also found building strong spiritual beliefs at a young age carries over into adulthood. Music Language- WNYT- January 2, 2015- 5:00 pm Is it worth the time and money invested in music lessons for your kids? A new study says yes, provided that children pay attention. Researchers at Northwestern University studied brain activity of kids involved in a music education program. They found those who regularly attended classes and actively participated showed larger improvements in how they brain processes speech and reading scores. Teen Health Care- WNYT- January 5, 2015- 5:00 am Many older teenagers may lack the knowledge needed to jump from a pediatrician to an adult focused health care facility. A survey of parents and teenagers find just about a third of 18 to 30-year-olds have made the transition. Less than half of surveyed parents think their older teens know how to make a doctor's appointment. Others doubt whether their teens would know when to go to the emergency room or how to fill out medical history forms. Smartphone Sleep- WNYA- January 5, 2015- 10:00 pm A new study suggests smartphones and tablets may be more harmful than TV's when it comes to interfering with children's sleep. Researchers looked at two thousand kids and found those with a nearby phone or tablet slept 20 minutes less than their peers who slept away from their device. The study didn't look at why small screens impact sleep but it's likely a combination of the light emitted from the devices and noises they make during the night. Fertility Treatment Risks- WNYT- January 6, 2015- 5:00 pm There is some good news for women undergoing in-vitro fertility procedures. A review of 12 years of data shows risks to mom are rare. The most common problems are related to drugs used to stimulate ovaries in preparation for the procedure. Over-stimulation occurred in 154 out of every 10 thousand pregnancy attempts. While there were 58 deaths reported, researchers say the results are reassuring, given there were more than one million pregnancy attempts during the study.

Overall recovery was slower. Experts say one or two days rest is important after a concussion but if symptoms are improving, children can safely resume normal activity. Toxic Toys- WNYA- January 6, 2015- 10:00 pm The debate over toxic toys intensifies in Albany County. Some Albany County residents want County Executive Dan McCoy to sign the "Toxic Free Toys Act." They say chemicals like arsenic, lead and mercury are still being used to make toys, bedding and clothing for children. This law, they say, would help stop that. Opponents argue the law is going to be too tough to enforce. Alcohol Poisoning- WNYT- January 6, 2015- 11:00 pm A new report by the CDC shows millions of American adults are drinking more alcohol than they bodies can handle.

In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractability, 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. |
