About Kid Quest, from their site:
Kid Quest is a grass roots project. It is advertising free. We don’t answer to consultants or stockholders, but instead follow our instincts as parents and concerned citizens to produce content for which we feel extremely responsible.
Kid Quest presents real role models, not actors put in contrived situations. The youngsters we feature are honest, focused and passionate about what they do. They don’t follow the pack, but rather follow their inner voice and make their dreams real. There are two big messages we want our audience to take away after viewing our shows: #1 - It’s okay to be different from the rest of the crowd, #2 – It’s important for everybody to find something to “jazz” them! Of course, one can’t help but to learn interesting facts watching our show, but we don’t bang viewers over the head with information. Instead, the goal of Kid Quest is to present a tapestry of possibilities with heaps of enthusiasm.
Punk and I were able to review their first DVD. It was really cool! There are three kids highlighted in the movie; one is a beekeeper, one is a circus performer and one is a rodeo queen. And they are all just kids! How amazing.
The movie was from the point-of-view of each of the children, so it made it easy for Punk to understand what they were talking about and trying to teach because it was from someone her age. It’s so much easier to explain something to a kid when you are one! It didn’t come off overly educational, and they didn’t spend too much time on each story. It seems like the producers really do know what it takes to get into kids’ heads with these! As much as it was geared towards kids, it wasn’t too childish. What I mean is - there was no big purple dinosaur or Spanish-speaking girl so it wasn’t annoying for me to watch. :)
It’s hard for me to try to teach Punk new things because we have her so little compared to how much she’s at her other house, but when she is with us I am always trying to make sure she feels like she can be herself. This DVD really helps with that point!
Buy it!
