We know that music builds brainpower. "Ready to Rock Kids" also builds social and emotional skills while supporting character education. Upbeat, inviting songs by a child psychologist and award-winning songwriter teach positive thinking, respect, and responsibility, including everyone, good manners, friendship, self-esteem, best effort, honesty, kindness, and more. As kids bop to the beat, they don't even know they're learning! The songs are musically sophisticated and professionally produced; adults will enjoy them, too. The companion book includes activities that reinforce key concepts, reproducible activity pages, and complete lyrics.
