Winx Club utilizes fairy castles, magical caverns and timeless villages as a backdrop for coming-of-age lessons, group problem-solving, cooperative investigations and the important social and emotional learning opportunities that children need to develop the valuable emotional competencies of resilience, empathy and self-confidence. In each episode, as a conflict arises, the fairies pool their unique capabilities to find a solution comprised of the sum total of their special talents. Life scenarios that commonly worry children, from feeling vulnerable and powerless to being lost or separated from loved ones, are enacted throughout the series and a variety of practical behavioral solutions are presented. The program promotes the development of social skills, with actions such as speaking kindly to others, doing good for one's community, and managing anger appropriately, integrated into the show's humor. These social competencies are now considered legitimate and necessary objectives of school curricula.

The Smurfs introduces the 3-6 year old TV audience to a wide array of pro-social lessons using the device of a wise and patient elder who guides younger generations as they learn to deal with the complexities of interpersonal relationships and with their own, sometimes confusing feelings. Smurfs are tiny blue creatures who live in a very magical forest along with other magical creatures. Each Smurf represents a particular character trait e.g. brainy, jokey, greedy, handy, pushover a narrative device that helps young viewers understand some abstract feelings and ideas. As the Smurfs confront day-to-day life, they encounter unexpected obstacles, issues, and feelings that may threaten their plans, community, or self image. We watch as the village elder helps the younger ones figure out who they are and how they should behave striving to teach them the power of love and caring. Various individual episodes also explore such issues as kindness, greed vs sharing, fighting, repsonsiblity, humility, carelessness, self confidence, etc. In other words, these are many of the issues that any 3-6 year old might encounter in the play-yard.

WHNS aired numerous public service announcements in children's time periods in the third quarter. Topics included drugs & alcohol abuse prevention, education, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Parental involvement in childrens' lives, respite and resources for termionally ill children and their families, and adoption,
WHNS conducted several station tours.
In the fourth quarter of 2004, ACC Football made it necessary for WHNS to shift childrens' core E/I programming. We did, in spite of these shifts, maintain the three hour minimum requirement.
Between the three hours that WHNS has provided by DIC kids and the hour of E/I that Fox is providing, WHNS projects that it will air at least 4 hours on average of childrens' E/I programming per week in the first quarter of 2005.
