What Parents Need to Know

About Raven-Symone

Parents need to know that Disney Channel's That's So Raven star still keeps her lyrics full of positive issues (like self-esteem) and squeaky clean, even if she's growing up. Her music is growing up, too, in terms of quality, and older siblings might just be borrowing this CD from their younger brothers and sisters.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the recurring theme of self-confidence and being comfortable "in your skin" that Raven sings about. Do you think she is singing about personal experiences she has had in the music industry as someone who doesn't necessarily fit the "mold" or expected "image" of a star? Do you respect her more for having such great success despite this?

    One Swear Word But Really Good!

    There was one F**k in the CD but sung by backup singers, but other than that a great CD! I love Raven and she's a great role model. I would say for 11 and up.
