Summer Program Builds Self Confidence in Kids with Thumbuddy
New summer program for kids boosts self worth while they have fun with Thumbuddy.

BURNSVILLE, MN, May 21, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "Be Your Best," "You Make a Difference" and "You Are One-Of-A-Kind" are among the song titles and the messages geared towards preschool kids in the Thumbuddy Club Summer Kids Program.

ThumbPeople, Inc. the company behind the Thumbuddy children's book series and a collection of soaking music CD's, has also developed the self confidence building summer program called Thumbuddy Club.

The thumbprint character, Thumbuddy, teaches children that, just like their thumb leaves a unique, one-of-a-kind thumbprint, they are one-of-a-kind and their life leaves a unique imprint in the world and just as their thumb stands out from their fingers, they were meant to stand out and live outstanding lives.

Child educators are excited about Thumbuddy Club and its self-worth developing concepts and positive effects on children's self image. Designed by a preschool curriculum expert, Thumbuddy Club consists of story time, crafts, music, activities and take-home bags. Suitable for before or after school programs, children's library programs, summer programs, Vacation Bible School, daycares, play groups and homeschooling. Two versions of Thumbuddy Club have been developed for both the secular and non-secular environments.

Early Childhood Educator and Birth and Family Educator, Kelly Olson, says, "The powerful message ThumbPeople relays to children and adults is essential in our world today. Believing in one's own self and knowing that you are a unique and special person with beautiful gifts to share, is important for this generation to understand, believe and act upon."

Marilyn Araeipour, Early Childhood Program Instructor & Supervisor at Northeast Iowa Community College shares, "The Thumbuddy books are truly delightful in emphasizing the profound and essential truth that every child is unique, special and lovable. What a world it will be when this truth is realized by every child! The positive impact on humanity will be significant when every child has self-respect and also respects others."
