Rhyming Life Lessons for Your Children - A Message from
Rainey
|
| Working with children, both as an attorney/advocate
and as a teacher in the classroom, I find myself wondering who is teaching
our young children the lessons that will remain with them the rest of their
lives. When I was young, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rodgers taught my generation
to be kind, how to share, and how to be a good friend. Sesame Street, invented
a funny vampire puppet to teach generations to "Count." Ernie and Bert taught
friendship lessons. And, for years, children have learned from zany characters
created by Dr. Seuss. But today, who fills these roles? |
| The next generation learned from Barney, whose
huge success in the early '90's with teaching toddlers and young children
relates to the fact that kids believe they are playing while they are also
learning. By making up songs and dances, Barney conveys his message. But
who picks up the lesson when children reach ages 4 to 5 and begin to tire
of the big purple dinosaur? Who will take these children through their next
crucial stage of development? |
|
There is currently a gap for young children
who need to learn the ways of the world. Children today need new characters
for a new age. The teachers I grew up with seem dated, tough to relate
to, yet they are still around (except Dr. Seuss, who is timeless). Who
will teach our young children life lessons? Our children need and deserve
a new teacher. Get ready for the way our next generation will be learning...

| Jazz the Dream DogŪ
and The DreamDog Kids |
| As with Barney, children will learn without
even knowing they are. But, The Rainbow Kids experience all the joys and
traumas of the average kid, no sugar coating, just real life lessons. Sometimes,
when they get stuck, they talk to Jazz, the magical neighborhood doggy who
speaks to them with a touch of a paw, a knowing nuzzle or quick lick. Jazz
has the ability to communicate with children and to help them figure out
the often complicated world they are just beginning to discover. When things
just don't make sense, Jazz steps in and gently gives the kids clues to
figure out the solution. |
|
Does Jazz represent the child's emerging conscience
in a growing, developing child struggling to learn right from wrong in
a crazy, confusing world? Perhaps, but for now, it's enough that she is
a cuddly, irresistible dog that children can relate to, a self-esteem
builder that always shows children that the answer and the strength to
solve anything lies within themselves. Jazz merely mirrors back the child's
own instincts and shows them what they already know. Jazz helps children
learn: "The Magic is in You!"™
