Connect with Kids is a multi-media education company focused on helping educators and parents teach life skills, prevention, character, health, and wellness.

Our mission is to connect kids with the adults who can help them using the power of real stories on video, television and the Internet.


Inside Out
Real Stories about the Inner Choices That Shape Our Lives

New Item! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the decisions kids make during their middle and high school years have more impact on when and how they die than the decisions they will make at any other time in their lives. It's during the teen years that lifelong patterns of behavior develop: the first independent decisions about tobacco, drugs, alcohol, sex, and even exercise and eating. Here's a life skills and character education book of true stories written by a teen for teens. Get the conversation started at school and at home.   >>more>>

Why Connect with Kids Works.
Research Proven. Award Winning.

School climate significantly impacts a child’s self-confidence, academic performance, and decision making.  Connect with Kids programs build real-life connections at school and at home that improve school climate and encourage academic achievement in a positive, caring culture. The U.S. Department of Education has named the Connect with Kids Character Education Series an “Effective Program” on the prestigious What Works Clearinghouse List. Harvard researchers at the Center on Media and Child Health also report that aggressive behaviors among children decreased significantly when Connect with Kids programs were used in the classroom, and that behavior, communication, and attitudes improved when adults and kids watch the Connect with Kids programs together. more...
