Modeled on-screen by a diverse group of loving parents, viewers learn the specific behaviors and techniques that will allow their child to reach his or her fullest potential.

This program examines what stands between our children becoming literate adults or school dropouts. It explores the experiences of students on the edge of success or failure in school, shares the feelings of students who fail and those who triumph, visits classrooms around the country where teachers encourage literacy across content areas and promote cognitive development for all their students, and— above all—provides hope that the literacy crisis facing our schools can be solved.

The recent terrorist attacks rank high on the trauma scale, but there are other kinds of childhood trauma. This video helps parents identify and respond to trauma from parental divorce, the death of a parent or sibling, a life threatening accident or illness, extreme school violence, and natural catastrophic disasters, such as earthquakes, tornados and floods, as well as terrorist attacks. The suddenness of the event, the fear produced, the confusion, and the lack of coping skills make these events traumatic for many children. It is important for parents to know what to do in identifying reactions to these events in their children and, in turn the appropriate responses to take.

This is the story of Linda Kelley, president of Parents of Murdered Children, whose family in 1996 became the first to witness the execution of a man responsible for killing two of its members. Linda, her husband Jim, daughter Robin, and grandmother Angeline reveal how they faced the violent death of the couple’s two other children, and how they prepared themselves to watch Leo Jenkins, the murderer, die of lethal injection. They take a tour of the death chamber, and fret about the proper dress code for an execution. Linda’s statement that Jenkins’ death will be easier than that of her children is juxtaposed against a prison employee’s chillingly mechanical description of the execution process. Linda’s emotional litany of feelings as she watches Jenkins die includes frustration with an American legal system still arguing about the value of the death penalty as a deterrent. This program raises deep questions about the psychology and ethics of retribution, and encourages public discourse on a volatile issue. (52 minutes) Copyright date: ©1996
