Sesame Workshop's Little Children, Big Challenges "examines the capacity of people to cope with stress and adversity."
The resiliency initiative is a bilingual, multimedia outreach initiative for military, veteran, and general public families with young children, to help increase self-awareness, boost self-esteem, and help children persevere through changes.
The song "What I Am" was re-recorded as the anthem for the initiative in 2012, as "What We Are" sung by Big Bird, Rosita, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby and Elmo. John Kennedy makes an appearance. The song debuted May 23, 2012, the first official mention of the project via Sesame Workshop.
The initiative's first major video and resource kit, Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce, was released in December 2012 and deals with the topic of divorce.
This was followed in June 2013 with a video dealing with incarceration, followed by another that December, also titled Little Children, Big Challenges, that teaches building resilience to overcome the day-to-day problems a preschooler can face.
In October 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, a fourth installment, Building Resilient Kids, Families & Communities, was released.
