Any child has their own particular learning style. Some are visual learners while others learn better using audio. Yet, others learn through touch and feel. JEB knows this which is why a whole array of learning tools which include books, CDs, activity sets, and art packs are being used to cater for everyone.

Its been said that up to 30 percent of young ones remembers what they heard while up to 40 percent will recall what they learned through visual stimulation that is achieved through seeing and reading.

Learning centers are a great way to serve kids who have a variety of needs. You can be sure that JEB and friends will have a hand in helping to educate kids coming from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.

JEB agrees with their outlook in that you should not tire children out with overlong sessions to the point where they start losing interest.

Each session should be structured in such a way that you have their full attention. It makes perfect sense to make use of JEB and friends to help educate children coming to learning centers.

There are various fun ways for kids of various age groups to learn what they need to know about arts, crafts, maths and reading. Learning through entertainment by JEB is a great way to get those creative juices flowing. This can easily be achieved by getting kids involved in the world of color.

It might be an idea to meet with other parents of kids who are being home schooled and get them to agree to a get together of all kids who are being educated using home schooling.

The learning groups can be kept to a minimum of say 4 to 5 kids to ensure positive interaction and a measure of control as larger groups can get out of hand. JEB and friends will ensure they get thoroughly entertained in a fun, exciting and interactive way. This can be accomplished though various means such as CDs, books, plush toys, art packs, crayons, etc.

In order to strengthen the social fabric of both the community and schools there is a distinct need to instill positive attributes such as honesty, responsibility, respect, caring and integrity within children. Letting plush characters like Jeb assist you in building your child’s characters is a very good idea.

It is very clear that developing character in children is not something that can come from the classroom alone. To achieve the desired qualities that will help build character you need a strong character like Jeb to assist in bringing the best out of your child.

What Parents Can Do to Build Their Child’s Character

Just imagine all of this was possible. JEB and friends go on to show that it is indeed achievable to get children from various backgrounds and ethnic groups to work together.

Good Moral Values Starts at Home

We surely do not want to baby our children for the rest of their lives as we want them to turn into responsible teens that can take care of themselves in a big way. In essence, you want you child to think on their feet and act responsibly as a result thereof.

The pressures of the system we live in does not always make it possible for us to bring up our children up in the way we see fit for them. But it sure makes things a lot easier using fun characters like JEB and his imaginary friends to help us accomplish this.

Not only will they learn to think at any level which will help them with problem solving, deal with self awareness and communicating properly, but they will go on to imitate the fine example that JEB and friends set for them.

What JEB and Friends Will Help Your Child Accomplish

The material provided by the creators of JEB and his imaginary friends goes a long way to develop the intellectual skills of your child. This is the kind of skills you want your child to have as it will help them to be creative and flexible in their thinking abilities.

In the process, your child will learn to engage with other children and be encouraged to express themselves better, take calculated risks, accept feedback as well as learn to be affirmative in speaking up for themselves.

Through self awareness, JEB will help your children solve problems and communicate more effectively. One of the best ways to learn how to solve these would be through role playing. It serves as a natural vehicle to learn about life and helps to stimulate your child’s thinking processes.

JEB, even though a kid himself, knows this and makes use of this knowledge to teach your kids about the good things in life. Your Kids will resonate with JEB as he is on the same page as them, being a kid as well.

Role playing is not only fun to do, but it is also seen as rehearsing what you see others do. No matter what kind of personality your kid has, or from what background they are, they need to hone and develop their intellectual skills as much as their physical ones. Their is simply no better mentor to help them accomplish this feat than JEB and his imaginary friends.

Lets get one thing clear about JEB. He is a character educator and he is fun to be with. His aim is to help shape the character of your child, but without making it seem too serious. Children like copying what they see. They model the behavior of their teachers, custodians, bus driver, and most of all their parents.

You can see it in the way they walk, the way they would talk, and in their deeds. We need to ask ourselves if this is the kind of influence we want for our children? This is why it would be great to make use of JEB as an educational fun character that teaches values and good ethics among other things.

The Definition of Character Education

Everything you or others around you do or not do influences the character of your child. To help define it better, character education can be seen as the deliberate effort to help others understand (including children), act upon and care about core ethical values.

JEB as bespectacled Giraffe is exactly what the educational doctor ordered to instill core values within your child. After all, you want your child to make sound decisions and learn to judge what is right. Even though his or her friends tell them differently.

This would involve developmental processes such as
knowledge, feelings as well as action. JEB will help your child engage in activities that will make them think about ethical and moral values which in turn will inspire them in becoming committed with regards to implementing these.

How Do You Instill Good Values in Your Children?

Depending on your desired outcome with regards to your children, simply telling your kids that they need to do as they are told will not help to build their character. Taking this approach will not cut it as it merely leads to a bunch of rules where the child either gets rewarded or punished for the kind of behaviour they display. It does not really do anything that will influence the child’s underlying character.

There is a solution at hand and it takes the form of your child’s favorite educational character in the form of JEB and his magical friends. Not only will JEB help your child to become an independent thinker, but they will also learn to apply good moral values in their life and do the right thing under challenging conditions.

While there are no guarantees that every single human on planet earth will value each other despite color, gender, age, religion, disability or nationality, it does not mean we shouldn’t try. Teaching our children to celebrate and value diversity is the first step in making it happen.

As humans we tend to be very competitive and always look for ways to be stronger, brighter and better off than others around us. Competitiveness has a greater impact on our lives than ever before in order to secure employment and even a bursary for a better education.

Animated characters like the bespectacled JEB will go on show children that it is okay to let other kids shine, which is pretty much what one of JEB’s good friends goes on to demonstrate by standing back and letting her friends shine in the process. There is an old saying that there is more happiness in giving than in receiving.

These are the type of values that JEB and friends are hoping to instill in your children. The world will certainly be a much better place to live in once everyone makes it a habit to let others shine and not be too self-centered.

Taking Stock of What We are Teaching Our Children

Perhaps we need to re-evaluate and reflect on the way we are educating our children currently. This comes through in the media and curricula as well as various parenting education programs we are using to teach our kids.

Why not make use of animated characters like JEB to help instill good values within your kids and teaching them to get along with children from other nations and gender without putting too much emphasize on themselves.

This is why it would be good to take stock of what we are teaching our children to help them become good citizens one day. Another reason is for your kids to get accepted by other children as good friends. Who wants to be friends with someone that is self-centered and non caring?

JEB and friends can be used to promote a feeling of caring for other among your children. It will truly have a huge impact on their future and will lead to certain success as they will get the admiration and respect of others around them. This would include children from other races, religion and gender. It is after all what true friendship is all about which is what JEB and friends will help you accomplish when teaching your children.

Our whole society is made up of people coming from a diverse linguistic and cultural background which is why animated characters like JEB and friends are able to have such a great influence on young minds. There is a need for young ones to be exposed to other children in order to develop a sense of intercultural understanding.

Hatred and discrimination are words we don’t want to use in our vocabulary as it is reminders of things we don’t want to be part of. Luckily for most, JEB and friends are changing all of that through setting a fine example for young ones to follow. Parents can utilize this powerful influence being manifested by JEB through getting on board themselves and buy into what animated characters like JEB wants to bring home to their children.

We want a different life for our young ones which is why it would be good to get around to a new way of thinking that starts at a young age. This is exactly what JEB and friends hope to accomplish through diversity education.

How Diversity Education Can Bring About Useful Changes

JEB and friends aim to involve kids in a whole new fun way through demonstrating the importance of getting on with each other without seeing skin color. The bespectacled, long neck Giraffe accomplishes this by welcoming kids into his world and teaching them solid principles that will serve them well in the future.

Our children will be future leaders of America and other countries around the world which is why it is imperative they get taught to see things differently to what older generations would.

People around the world have mixed feelings as to the educational benefits of diversity. In some countries people from underrepresented groups have been excluded from certain educational activities which had a detrimental effect on their future.

JEB and friends are working hard to turn this around to the benefit of our children in today’s world. He goes on to demonstrate how easy it is to get along with others while recognizing the good in everyone.

Creating the Right Mindset Among Future Generations Through Diversity Education

You can be sure that JEB and his imaginary friends will accomplish much with regards to diversity education in that the right mindset will be imprinted in young kids from the word go.

Always looking for the good in others are what JEB and friends are all about. They set the perfect example of how much fun there is to be had through positive interaction and game play without even noticing someone’s skin color or background.
