The Cool Kind Kid® CD had won more than 15 National Awards, including Parents’ Choice, Teachers’ Choice, The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval and many more.
“With contemporary style and upbeat music, and lyrics that children can easily put into practice, this CD offers a fun way to teach manners and social skills – without being boring and uptight.”
“This CD is a 17 set of character-affirming songs that present children with options to make positive choices in their daily existence of life, school and home with special attention paid to peer pressure. The songs are well produced and performed with a mix of adult and child performers. An array of musical styles from rock to pop to folk infuse the messages of manners, respect and making a stand with an accessible immediacy. The collection is a valuable teaching tool for parents and educators to integrate into their bag of tricks. The structure is sound. Every song has a behavior that ideally should be modeled – manners, standing up for what is right, following rules, kindness and similar. The content is age appropriate and, of course, emphasizes that it is “Cool to be Kind.”
Approval “When we asked reviewers about this CD which teaches manners and social skills the last things we expected to hear were “fun,” “upbeat,” “catchy,” or “music that we loved dancing to.” Just goes to show you. We read rave reviews time and time again as parents sang the praises of this marvelous audio CD. Of course, the fact that important lessons were being taught also helped. Teaching children how to be polite and kind to others resonate throughout all the tracks. Very well produced and wonderfully presented. Cool Kind Kid really left quite an impression.
This CD is a powerful learning tool because it teaches the children through fun, upbeat music, with positive easy to understand lessons. The lyrics are appealing to the children and speak to them in their terms.
My students liked the music and quickly learned the words. They enjoyed the positive messages and talking about manners and how they have been treated. It made them look at how they were behaving.
This CD touches upon a very important theme that should be the focus in any early childhood program. It works well because it speaks to the children
