I felt very privileged to have Kathy Carpenter the creator of Yeah! Yeah! Out Loud® (YYOL®) on Journey to Self today even with a few technical hiccups here and there. YYOL® provides tools to assist children in building a healthy sense of self and teaches how to to find their inner cheer leader. My son and I had such fun going through the Yeah! Yeah! Out Loud book and the puppets of the main characters Hur-Ray© (the sun) and Kiddazy® (a flower).

This is the perfect gift to give our children, nothing else in their lives is going will impact them as deeply as learning how to believe in and love themselves.

The YYOL® Vision

(from the Yeah! Yeah! Out Loud® Website)

Vision

• To develop and support positive self esteem through our YEAH YEAH Out Loud program for children everywhere.
• Make YYOL® a key, recognizable symbol for positive self-esteem.

Mission

• To empower kids to discover their inner “cheer” leader.
• To help them reach their full potential by demonstrating that collectively and individually they are capable of doing more than they thought possible, leading to lifelong successes.
• Develop fun and inspiring solid foundation programs that foster positive self esteem while fulfilling national and state educational requirements.
• Provide and support a web site that communicates clear and effective strategies and techniques to achieve sharing of positive self esteem methods and applications.

Beliefs

• Early learning is the foundation for lifelong learning.
• Families are our children’s first teachers.
• All children deserve a time and place to be children, regardless of nationality, ability or status.
• Diverse perspectives enrich children’s lives.
• Play is learning.
• We have genuine enthusiasm for what we do and are committed to “paying it forward” in whatever ways seem appropriate.
• Being a “Mom” is the best job I ever had!

Kathy is planning on launching her non-profit organization in the future Never Failes Foundation and will be coming back to let us more about it.

I just love Yeah! Yeah! Out Loud and I know that other moms want to give this amazing gift to their children. Tune in to JTS’s Birthday Bash during the month of August we will be giving away a Yeah! Yeah! Out Loud® Parent Program.
