What Parents Need to Know

About It's About Time

Parents need to know that the Jonas Brothers' debut CD single is filled with appealing pop, energetically executed by a trio of cute young heartthrobs. Family-safe content explores the tween-familiar territory of crushes, self-esteem pep talks, crushes, school, and crushes.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the Jonas Brothers got so big. Did MTV or Radio Disney have anything to do with it? If so, in what way? Parents can also discuss the opening song, "What I Go to School For," which cleverly describes a crush on an older girl. Have you ever had a secret crush on someone who seemed unattainable? How does it feel when you see that person at school? Is there a way to let the object of your affections know how you feel without risking total embarrassment?

    OMGOODNESS!!!

    I got all of the songs on YouTube, and I absolutely LOVE this album. Their second was better, but it was really fun to hear all of the new music. Nothing bad in it, just youthful crushes and stuff. Great album! Highly recommended!
