 A must for all families with kids of all ages! October 14, 1999
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is an absolute must for all families, schools and CHURCHES! Not only does my 2-year old daughter love it (and literally ask to watch it everyday), but I have shared it with my Children's Ministry at church. It's fabulous! As parents, we want our children to have good character, but it is not always easy to explain the concepts in a language they can understand. This video is a great tool because it is in a language that kids not only understand, but it is delivered to them through some of their favorite TV personalities. It is never too early to start teaching your children about the six pillars of good character -- trustworthiness, respect, fairness, responsibility, caring and citizenship. "Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not part from it." Believe me, you will NEVER regret this purchase!
One of the best kids videos we've ever bought. December 15, 1998

Kids for Character is one of the best kids videos we've ever bought. Six leading children teach us that "There are six simple words that you can use, to be a better person, if you choose." Those words are the pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Six different kids shows do a short segment on each of the six pillars, which is a good introduction to a particular TV show if you've never seen it. If your child already likes a certain TV show, the familiarity is there, and if the show annoys another family member, the segment doesn't last very long anyway. Noteworthy is the terrific "fairness" segment presented by Shari Lewis and Friends. The segment on "responsibility" presented by The Magic Schoolbus seems to stray from the point, but the other segments are great. Quick clips of comments from real kids keep the pace up, too. Sponsoring organizations include teaching groups, sports groups and public service organizations, rather than a specific religious organization with a religious message, which is why I can recommend this video to any household.
The best childrens video we own! October 6, 1999

My son has been dancing and singing about the 6 pillars of character since he was 3 years old. He is now in first grade and this video remains one of his favorites.

This is an amazing video for young children and adults alike. It teaches the six pillars of characetristics in an easy way. In each pillar there is a skit to go along with each pillar, which makes it easier for the children to understand. I would recommand this video to all parents.
 Great decision-making scenarios without being preachy. December 15, 1998

This video is a good follow-up of "Kids For Character" and is best understood if the viewer is familiar with the first video. Scenes from popular kids TV shows and comments from kids are used to illustrate the points being made. Teaches viewers about making the "right" choices and showing that you have good character. "'Fessing up," "telling the truth," "what should you do?" scenarios are upbeat and not at all preachy. The singing and choreography of the six leading kids is terrific, and following the adult performers is fun. Our two-year-old always wants the whole family to join with him in "The Six Pillar Shuffle!" Organizations sponsoring this video include public service organizations, sports organizations, teaching organizations, and many others, rather than a specific religious organization teaching religious ideals.
