Ever have your kids listen to Adventures in Odyssey while in the car?
My kids love Adventures in Odyssey. My oldest was a production intern there for a few months. She helped with script writing and has a small part in one episode.
I think she owns almost every CD
Back when I had a cassette player. Yes. Mileage varied (no pun intended?) depending on the episode and the kid. Some were a little tense for some children. But we enjoyed them.
Now we try to stream or capture a lot of the Lamplighter series and some Moody book adaptations for the car.
We have found that some other (no names mentioned again) programs we listened to in the car contributed to raucous youngsters potentially distracting the driver (who otherwise enjoyed some of those audio episodes as well).
I like the graceplace kids because they are gentle, compassionate, and always joyfully pointing to the simplest truths of the Gospel. (They have gone out of their way to avoid any “controversial” or sectarian doctrines as far as I can tell).
Another tv show we used to get over the air was “Janice’s Attic” - imagine a female, Seventh Day Adventist (though that only showed in her plain dress and her emphasis on healthy eating), Fred Rogers.
Ok - I am all done hijacking the thread, but thought it was an opportunity to perhaps advertise some neat puppets to people who probably never heard of them, and maybe help the producers (with whom I have no affiliation) have some exposure.
