Feelings: Families The structure of American families has changed dramatically in recent years, but does that mean the family is collapsing, as some people think? Perhaps they are mistaking signs of change for signs of collapse. The presence of two parents under one roof has never guaranteed that children's emotional needs are being met; a two-parent home can be as "broken" as the so-called broken home of divorce. Whatever its structure, the important question is, what does it take to make a family work? Do children have rights, and do parents owe them respect? Dr. Salk discovers from three sixth-graders how they cope with the demands of family life.

Feelings: Love In American song, on stage and on screen, love seems to conjure up images of everything that is good and right. People say that if everyone loved others as they did themselves, there would be no crime, wars or brutality. Others say that if there were more love within the family, there would be no divorce or delinquency. But is it that simple? Do parents and children have to love one another, and can children love and hate parents at the same time? In this program, Dr. Salk tries to define love through the eyes and experience of three fifth-graders, Zachary, Julie and Dawn.

Feelings: Lying And Cheating One of the most vexing problems that parents and teachers face is dishonesty, but do they always practice what they preach? Are there degrees of truth, or times when lying is excusable? Although truth and honesty are held in high esteem, perhaps our system of rewards and punishments makes it virtually impossible for anyone to be honest all the time. In America's open society, children become aware at an early age that all is not perfect--there is cheating in school, cheating in government, and too often corruption is passively accepted. Like most human beings, Dr. Salk's guests on this program can't claim that they have never told a lie, but sixth-grader Nikki and seventh-graders Marc and Melissa have some strong ideas about lying and its relationship to self-respect.

Feelings: Schools Children spend most of their waking hours in school that anywhere else, and the way they cope with situations and personalities in school will have a profound effect on their later lives. Children who are not learning at the same rate as their peers are often branded as losers, while those who make it through the system sometimes pay a heavy price in terms of human feelings. "Children do indeed learn," says Dr. Salk, "but what they learn may not be on the curriculum." Are they learning what we're teaching, or are they getting some very different messages? To find the answer, Dr. Salk turns to the real experts—children themselves. Providing the insiders' view of the system are 9-year-old Delia, 10-year-old James and 11-year-old Jill.

Feelings: Sexuality, Part 1 Despite the fact that children are bombarded with sexual images from the time they are old enough to turn on TV sets, parents are still confused about how and when to explain sexuality to them. Ignoring the responsibility of informing children about sexual matters has brought about a good deal of emotional confusion and one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the world. Just what do children know, and how do they feel about sex? The answers are surprising, as Dr. Lee Salk discovers from three young teens--Laura, Eli and Lisa--who have very definite opinions on subjects ranging from teen pregnancies to suggestive scenes on television.

Feelings: Sexuality, Part 2 With the country's skyrocketing rate of abortion and teenage pregnancy's, American parents have a justifiable concern as their children reach adolescence. But do they really know how their children feel about the once-taboo subject of sex? With Dr. Salk, 13-year-old Lisa and 14-year-old Eli and Laura continue their exploration of sexual attitudes and behavior. The discussion ranges from homosexuality and the double standard to parents' mistaken ideas about their children's sexual knowledge and behavior.

Feelings: Special Needs/Handicap Nearly one out of every 10 children in this country is born with some major or minor disability. Yet, despite the fact that Americans pride themselves on their respect for individuality and human differences, children who are born handicapped still face a degree of rejection and isolation in their lives. Handicapped children have special emotional as well as physical problems, but what most of them express is a desire to be treated as normally as possible. In this program, 9-year-old David, 13-year-old Lisa and 12-year-old Mike tell Dr. Lee Salk how they deal with their handicaps—and how they would like "normal" people to treat them.
