PBS Is a Safe Haven for Families

When making the decision to cancel their cable TV

subscription, member Tiffany Debnam was comforted that

PBS NC and our Rootle 24/7 PBS KIDS Channel would still

be available for her family. They rely on them for family-

centered entertainment and diverse educational content.

“PBS is our family’s first choice,” says Tiffany. “I feel

comfortable not having to monitor the screen when my kids

want TV time. What’s most important to us are the insightful

shows and specials. No other broadcast—live or streaming—

provides that for us. I am always impressed by the broad

range of topics the channel covers, even the hard topics.

PBS North Carolina genuinely highlights diversity!”

Back to School: Creating

Daily Routines for Kids

children feel safer and happier, which

often leads to better behavior and

cooperation. When they know what to

expect, and what’s expected of them, kids feel more

comfortable and confident about what lies ahead.

hub on the PBS KIDS for Parents website:
