CJ’s Story Testimonials
The CJ program is a wonderful way for children to feel good about themselves, foster independence and enhance self-esteem. Children are drawn to CJ. It really works! Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful program to us. It has truly made a difference!
I believe the CJ program helps people (especially children) of all ages get in touch with their positive emotions. I like the message of the program and feel by following the program daily, people (especially children) will begin to feel and lead happier lives. As I go around to the classroom, I can hear the children talking about “happy thoughts.” The children completely understand the concept of CJ. Please continue working with children on helping them get in touch with their feelings, this is the key to helping them grow into healthy adults.
Our child and the children in her preschool class really enjoyed participating and learning from the CJ program. Her teacher loved seeing the children’s enthusiasm and joy while they were also exploring positive attitudes about themselves and others. With all the negative elements in the world today, there is a need for developing programs that explore the positive side of our nature. Having a program in the school curriculum such as “CJ” is one good way to accomplish this. Children who feel good about themselves and others have a positive role in making our world a nice place in which to work and play.

Pilot Program Testimonials
Over the past several years, Lily Pond has been in search of a program that we could seamlessly implement into the curriculum to reinforce the basic but most essential values of caring for self and the development of healthy relationships with family and friends. Our search for this vital program ended when we were introduced to Karen Stone’s E curriculum. From the very first day that her lively and engaging characters were introduced, we could see that children fully embracing the values of friendship and relationship. The program is colorful, lively and fun. We have been pleased with the awesome results and feedback we have received from both our teachers and parent. Than you Ms. Karen!
I have been implementing the Voices of CJ program in my pre-k class for the past year. I believe it has positively impacted the way the children respond to their own confidence as well as how they treat their classmates in such a kind matter. It brings such a sense of love and compassion into the classroom. The children adore each of the seven Voices of CJ and every EQ voice brings such a great message to them. I personally love bringing this program into my daily curriculum.

More time with Karen! Life Lessons! Thank you, you are wonderful!
Thank you so much for coming out to share your knowledge with our school. You influenced our staff in a way that was positive and effective. I look forward to speaking to you and learning from you. You are a wonderful person.
Most interesting, engaging, effective professional development I have ever had.
On behalf of the students, tutors and managers of the Prison Literacy Project, thank you for your participation at our June Acknowledgment Event.
Your presentation was inspiring and enlightening. I know that your work on self-esteem has been beneficial to a number of men at Graterford, and I appreciate your commitment to our literacy endeavors.
Amazing! Practical! Karen is an excellent speaker who is dynamic and inspirational. Thank you for a memorial experience.
Just a brief note to thank you for your evening program. It was excellent and I believe that you really touched some people with your message. Thanks for giving us the CJ book and tape. I will use it with “my” children here.
I had to tell you that I was lucky enough to attend one of your mom’s workshops through my school district, Winslow. She was wonderful. She received many compliments and was maybe the best workshop I have received after teaching for fifteen years. My colleagues and I walked out of there thrilled with her presentation.
