Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

lifesaver for waldorf parent!

for those of you who follow waldorf parenting know how important it is to control media exposure to one's child. I found myself somewhat struggling through that until someone suggested leela. my kids and I are loving it as now we can all use our phone in a different way and listen to some good stuff that i frankly never thought even existed.
