    Many of the basic principles used in parenting are picked up from our own parents who serve as our models. But many young parents have learned parenting techniques from watching Sesame Street with their children. Playing "Gordon," an African American father who is a caring, respectful, and nurturing presence for his son "Miles," Orman has offered guidance to parents across America. Says Orman: "Providing the right kind of support for even one parent can make a difference."
