A thing I like about Sesame Street is that adults are positively and proactively involved in the lives even of kids they're not related to. This is cool and should be normal--being good to kids and helping them grow up should be a whole society's responsibility.
honestly I feel like we should go back to the concept that children are the entire community's responsibility. obviously their parents are directly responsible, but everyone else is also responsible for making the environment children grow up in a good one.
