WNYT-TV WNYT-TV - Children's Report WNYT-TV - Children's Report Second Quarter- April 2012 Autism Improvement - April 2, 2012 - 5:00 pm Researchers are learning more about why some children with Autism bloom and become high functioning teens, while others stay the same. The study was based on nearly seven thousand children with Autism. They found about ten percent improved rapidly, moving from severely affected to high functioning while others progressed more slowly. The researchers say one key factor involved equal access to early intervention and treatment for all Autistic children. Epilepsy Diet - April 3, 2012 - 12:00 pm A new diet may help children with Epilepsy control their seizures. The Ketogenic Diet works in a way like the Atkins diet but is much more restrictive and is comprised of 90 percent fat and very low carbohydrates. The diet has been shown to work well for about half the patient's treated at The Children's Center at John Hopkins Hospital. The diet puts patients in a state of Ketosis, mimicking starvation. It can be adapted for kids from infancy to adolescence and can also be beneficial for adults with Epilepsy. Patients stay on the diet for about two years and can experience side effects such as constipation, higher cholesterol and vomiting. Birth Order Financial Decisions - April 4, 2012- 5:00 am A new survey shows how birth order can affect a person's financial decisions. According to the survey by Coupon Cabin middle children were most likely to consider themselves to be financially stable, followed by first-born children. Only children reported the highest instance of taking financial risks. Healthy Backpacks - April 4, 2012 - 5:00 pm A new program designed to help alleviate child hunger is being launched at Heatly School in Green Island, New York. With help from Hannaford and The Regional Food Bank, the school kicked off its BackPack Buddies program. A backpack is loaded with nutritious food for the weekends and school breaks. The school principal says in this down economy there are many children in need. Twenty-nine students will receive the backpacks. Since the programs inception five years ago it has expanded to 24 schools in eight counties throughout the Capital Region and helps more than 525 students per week. Kindergarten - April 2, 2012 - 5:00 am More parents are turning to loans in order to fund their child's education well before college. Reports are showing parents financing the early years of school, some as early as kindergarten. The total dollar amount of loans requested has gone up 10 percent between March 2011 and last month. These loans can be risky and interest rates range from four to 20 percent.

Sex Trafficking - April 5, 2012 - 6:00 pm, 11:00 pm The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says three hundred thousand children are prostituted every year in The United States. Operation Game Over - April 5, 2012 - 5:00 pm Children who are playing games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Halo and Grand Theft Auto online could be playing with potential child predators. The State Attorney General of New York says that he has struck a deal with most of the biggest online game creators, including SONY, Microsoft, Apple and Disney, to shut predators out of these games. He also says that parents should be vigilant about watching what their kids are doing online. Under state law, convicted sex offenders must register their e-mail addresses, screen names and other internet identifiers, or risk a felony charge.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Poppy Cat is based on the book series by Lara Jones and uses embedded lessons on imagination and storytelling to encourage creating thinking for preschool children. In each story the narrator, Lara reads a story about Poppy Cat, to her own cat named Poppy. She makes up a story that will be exciting and just follows her imagination to distant lands reached by boat, plane or train. Poppy Cat is the leader of his group of animal friends, and the story always features an underlying message about being nice to yet ignoring the antics of the resident bully, a badger named Egbert. The lesson is always to think creatively and exercise your mind through reading because it will always lead to enjoyment and adventure.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Noodle and Doodle is an instructional series that features creating art projects and cooking projects around a specific theme. The show is hosted by Sean, who drives around in a double-decker bus fully equipped with art supplies, and a kitchen, all ready for any assignment. The projects encourage parent engagement and often feature families working together to make something for display in the child's home. Sean is accompanied by Doggity, an every-faithful Beagle dog, who transforms into an animated character during interstitial trips to a parallel universe and kitchen full of prank playing animated characters. While the show will be enjoyed by preschoolers, the projects are very practical and engaging to implement for children ages 5-8. The art projects typically feature lessons on recycling materials for re-use in making art and always demonstrate that creativity can transform something intended for one purpose into something useful to achieve a completely different goal.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Justin Time features and little boy, Justin, who wants very much to master his destiny, have great adventures, and solve problems. He begins with a problem that vexes him and daydreams his way into an adventure that takes him to different places around the world, but also provides him with an experience that helps him solve his problem when he returns home. While on the adventure he is accompanied by Olive, a knowledgeable imaginary playmate, and Squidgy the morphing flying sponge, who provides commentary and comedy along the way. Justin's lessons involve learning, for example, that it takes focus to achieve success, failure can teach what we need to do to succeed next time, or when one path to solve a problem doesn't work, you can find another way to get to your goal. Justin is all about self-directed learning from the young child's perspective and imagination.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Pajanimals are a group of four preschool aged puppets who live together in house with their off-screen mother and father. We meet them in the bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they show us their nighttime routine of brushing their teeth and having quiet conversation before falling off to sleep. The quiet time, always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem, such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend, or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated and practiced during the adventure, and the children return home confident, getting ample rest for today and facing their issues tomorrow.
