People are Talking
"My daughter was a vibrant and outgoing spirit until a horrible event happened in her young life. She became shy, sometimes withdrawn and reluctant to talk about it. Feeling Friends has helped my daughter identify those "yucky" feelings. Identifying, processing and releasing those "yucky" feelings enable her to feel less afraid, more empowered and able to trust again through the power of love. Subsequently, those negative feelings no longer have a stronghold over her. Feeling Friends uses multiple media platforms to enhance its message while making it fun and entertaining to learn."

"Feeling Friends is a message of substance that is delivered in a manner that transcends age, gender, race, ethnicity, and economic differences. The lessons dealing with feelings are presented passionately and convincingly."

"I used this product during the week that I did a lesson of feelings for my classroom. The children wanted to listen to the CD for weeks after the lesson was over. It has become their favorite music."

"Oddly enough, my teenager has indirectly benefited from KK's Feeling Friends. He has a history of bottling up his feelings and then lashing out in a rage when he can't take it anymore. He has observed, by watching the internet video (in his spare time!) with my youngest son, that openly expressing his negative emotions, can be achieved in a calm and effective way. My teenager is learning the difference between "reactive" and "proactive" ... and his little brother now has a positive role model. Thank you, KK!!"

"Unfortunately, my child had been dealing with other kids picking on her, and her usual recourse was to shut down, until she encountered The Feeling Friends. By learning that she deserves respect, as respect is given, she is speaking up more. Once her antagonists realized that she had a voice, they started to leave her alone. She is now proud of herself and is happier in school! Communication mishaps occur very frequently and expressing one's self can help minimize any dilemmas. I am thankful to several of the Feeling Friends characters for teaching my child how to stand up for herself."

"I just wanted to thank you very much for the meet feeling friends dance class. My son just finished up with the last class of the session. He says that you are his friend and you protect him. It's very sweet. :-)
The first few weeks he told me he liked the class but when I asked him about it, he couldn't tell me much more than that. Once I learned about the feeling friends myself, I was able to ask him about the characters and now he talks freely about them. He asks me to play the CD and sings along and he asks me to read him the book sometimes. Now, he can tell me how he's feeling by telling me which character he is at the moment. Last night he wanted me to read the book and while reading, he said he was the sad elephant. I was able to ask him why and we had a little discussion. After reading the book, he said he was like the happy hippo and then went to bed! :-)
It's so nice what you are doing and I just wanted to thank you so much for helping my 3 year old son be able to verbalize his emotions so that I can support and protect him!!!"

"Meet the Feeling Friends is an excellent learning tool that provides a contribution to critical skill development which is nothing short of impressive. The book has the necessary elements to stimulate critical skill development in a child in a very subtle, yet solid and consistent manner. As a child
progresses through the storyline of the book, greater self-esteem and so much more is established and
re-inforced within a child."
