Global Broadcast 4 Kids

You’ve received your nightly news from some anchormen. But your kids? They’d rather (har, har) take a time-out than learn about current events. Until now.

Thanks to Global Broadcast 4 Kids (and its pint-size anchors), your little one will actually want to brush up on everything from greenhouse gas emissions to recent U.S. health studies.

Using easy-to-understand terms, GBK’s mini-journalists explain today’s headlines and give condensed lessons on cool subjects like volcanoes, balloons, and carousels. Even if your young viewer is more Degrassi than Dora, not to worry: There’s now Global Broadcast 4 Teens, too.

News aside, the Web channel allows captive audiences to click through kid-performed tunes and pick up ecofriendly tips. Before you know it, your tot might even be teaching you a few things.

Now there’s your moment of Zen.
