What to talk about

Talk to your kids

Parents can talk about the issues raised in the videos. The episode "Some Things I Want My Parents to Know...But May Not Tell Them" could spark some great discussions.

Nick News with Linda Ellerbee is a fantastic television program, and the segments featured here are top-notch. Unfortunately, Nick News the Web site is a design disaster: blue text on a fluorescent yellow-green background, broken links, and confusing navigation. Users have to sit through ads before watching the videos on TurboNick, and there's no path back to the Nick News homepage.

Here's a shortcut for visitors who are mainly interested in the videos: Skip the Nick News homepage, head straight for TurboNick, and search "nick news." Or, just stick to the television show.
