According to reports, researchers, writers and producers from Sesame Workshop have been working on ways to address the issue to divorce to its young audience of children and toddlers.

In an effort to assure children that they are not alone, the show will feature one of its most recognized and loved puppets, Abby Cadabby.

The segment, which will be 13 minutes long will be part of a larger multimedia kit titled “Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce”. The story line will also include a storybook, a guide for parents and an app.

Back in 1992 with Mr. Snuffleupagus was a character that was used to tackle the subject of divorce but after testing, the segment was axed.
