Here are Some Great Things Parents and Teachers are Saying About
Connect With Kids
“I have been a teacher with special education students for 30 years. I have seen a lot of programs come and go, all claiming to make a huge impact on kids. But Connect with Kids is the only program that includes students, teachers, parents, and is current and up to date with what’s going on with teens.”
– Barbara Green, S.A.V.E. Program/Teacher
“What I like about Connect with Kids is the high quality and the fact that it’s real. You have real kids talking about the issues and that makes it cool. This is the medium that youth respond to.”
– Nathana S., MSW, M.Ed, Pupil Support and Attendance Coordinator, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)
“I am a juvenile probation officer in Texas. I caught your television program on teen gangs this morning and I was very impressed with the information given and the interviews with gang members.”
– Mike, juvenile probation officer
“The kids get tired of lectures - they need us to talk to them. When they can see kids interacting that way [on the videos] and in just seven minutes - the way it works is really great. The Couch Kids [a group of kids who discuss the topic on-air] are important to them too... it is really pretty wonderful!”
– Sarah, middle school counselor, Kansas City
“I was just watching Connect with Kids television show [Caught in the Web, about Internet safety and dangers in chatrooms] and I must say TWO THUMBS UP! I think your product and approach is excellent! I do not have children of my own, but I do have nieces and nephews; their security is of most importance to me. It is my personal opinion that we must protect children in all possible ways, and I believe you have come up with a wonderful way to do it. Thank you for helping to protect our future, our children.”
– Peter S.
“I happened to watch your television program, Lost and Found; this is the kind of information and help I need for my sons. They have experienced losses over the last two years - separation/divorce and death. This program showed me that these losses are affecting my children and I needed to see it. Thank you.”
– Dee L.
“I just wanted to say, "Thank you!" for publishing such a wonderful article about home schooling. Your article on athletics just may have been the most positive article I have ever read on the subject. So often home schooling is painted with a negative hue in the mainstream media. Your article was very refreshing. Thanks again ”
– Tina, mother of home schooled children
“Today I watched the Connect with Kids program called Invisible Weapons, about bullies and victims. I was a victim of excessive bullying in 4-6th grades. I am now a 33-year-old woman who still aches from the wounds that were inflicted. It was as if I was listening to my story over and over again as I listened to the kids in the program. This is not a new problem, but one that has happened for years and is being brought to light because of the more recent school shootings. Anyway, I am writing you out of a heart of pain that anyone should have to go through what I went through. I am very proud of the girl’s brother [featured in the program] who started the anti-bullying campaign at his school.”
– Debra, past victim of verbal bullying
“Are you the television station that shows the Connect with Kids TV programs that focus on connecting parents to their teens and helping them to understand their teen’s perspective a little more clearly? The programs have hot topics that teens are facing and they have a panel of teens that share their points of view on the topics being discussed in the program. I have had the opportunity to watch the programs a couple of times. It is my opinion that the shows are very well done and make some incredible points that all teens and pre-teens should have the chance to hear about and be challenged on their personal views.”
– Lisa, Junior High Youth Minister
“I think all of your programs are so beneficial to children and parents. Thank you for doing what you do.”
– Donna, tutoring specialist
