Product Review and Giveaway: One to Grow On

** this giveaway is closed **

If you're of a certain age, aka before videos and 40,000 satelite channels, you might remember the days of actually LISTENING to stories on record and following along, or listening to them during quiet time, aka nap time, in class. If not, this new product may seem amazing to you!

These unique One to Grow On audio stories are a series of highly dramatized and entertaining adventures, filled with music and sound effects. All of the stories focus on themes that help children cope with growing up, such as having bad dreams, being true to yourself, making a difference, and being different. The ideals and values that are imparted in the stories deliver these principals in an accessible and easily understood way for children.


The core values and ideas at the foundation of the One to Grow On! Audio Stories are love, high self-esteem, the power of the imagination, accepting what is, giving up excuses and blame, taking responsibility, and encouraging that happiness comes from within.By sharing with your children stories, in which characters survive and prosper while facing adversity or challenges, you’ll help your child understand that they will survive too. 


If you want to de-tech your kids for awhile and enrich their imaginations, these are the stories that can do it! The stories are aimed at kids 4-12. The stories were a little long to keep Kiddo entranced during the day, but she liked them for bedtime listening ("reading"). The stories come in 4 sets, noted by color, and are available in cd or mp3 formats. 


Blue: 4 stories explore the Magic of the Inner World of dreams,bedtime, senses and the acceptance that all things change.
Red: 4 stories that explore the value of self-knowledge, being true to yourself, making friends and finding happiness within.
Green: Four stories that explore relationships with others, accepting others, differences, not blaming and understanding humor.
Orange: Four stories that explore how we can all make a difference, through honesty, courage and turning problems into opportunities. 

You can click on each color and listen to samples from each of the stories to determine which set you would like to try! You can also purchase a set containing ALL of the stories! 


The series has received numerous parenting awards and I highly recommend them for summer vacation- it would be great to listen to one of the stories on Monday and then do activities during the week that dealt with the same topic and have discussions to work on comprehension/retention of the story (a needed skill for school!), and possibly a 'field trip' dealing with a topic from the story! The stories definitely help foster your kids imagination and offer a great way to bond with your child, without the onslaught of technology!


The One to Grow On newsletter offers great parenting tips every  month as well!
