Just as I was completing my introduction for today’s post, I found a picture my daughter drew that has just a rainbow and the words “you r mi love” on it. Karen K (of Karen & the Jitterbugs) and CJ Pizarro (a.k.a Mista Cookie Jar) have produced a song called “Rainbow,” which explores themes such as racial and cultural inclusivity, showing one’s true colors despite societal gender expectations, and the placement of current social change and civil rights issues into a historical context. Today, I am proud to premiere a song that Jeff Bogle (Out With The Kids) asserts “will up the ante on the political, world-changing capabilities of kindie music, essentially retesting the waters to see if kid’s music can indeed change the world in the 21st century.” (credit: Jeff Bogle, “ Why Can’t Kids Music Change The World?“, Cooper and Kid) Music has regularly been a vital catalyst for spawning many of our discussions. While she is still years away from understanding the true meaning of social justice, her internal drive to make things right, whether it’s protesting about litter or standing up to a bully on the playground for poking her friend’s stuffed bear, is inspiring. It also drives me to find ways to reinforce values that will shape the way she sees and treats others as she grows up in our complex, ever-evolving society. She is at a critical age where her opinions are becoming stronger and justified based on what she regularly sees and hears. As the mother of a very curious 5-year-old daughter, I am always conscious about communicating with her as honestly as possible. Children are naturally curious and one of our most important responsibilities as parents is to satisfy their hunger for knowledge about themselves and their world.
