The Full Spectrum Birthday Song CD
Gift Program!

The Full Spectrum Birthday Song CD Gift Program is based on partnerships between Emotion Literacy Advocates, non-profit organizations and caring sponsors.

Thanks to the generosity of service providers across the country and a grant from Windermere Foundation, Emotion Literacy Advocates has launched the CD Gift Program! As of Spring 2007, eight thousand children will receive ELA's celebratory, social emotional learning tool as a gift through our non-profit partners. Take a look at comments we've received so far.

Would you like to join the spirit of giving to children in this collaborative, uniquely educational and entertaining way as a sponsor and tell children, with this song, that all their feelings are worth celebrating, especially on their birthday?

Participating in the Gift Program has TRIPLE benefits!
  1. Protect and support children's mental health and self-confidence through social-emotional learning.
  2. Provide a valued resource for non-profit organizations that serve children, many of whom are at risk, all of whom need care and nurturance.
  3. Provide you with a delightful way to send a loving message to children.
In the spirit of ELA

Randy McCoy—Director of Curriculum for The Little Gym International— says this about our gift to children:

"The Full Spectrum Birthday Song is a wonderful song of celebration—not just of one's birthday, but of one's range of emotional expression, abilities & possibilities. Our instructional environment (at The Little Gym) is one in which children are accepted and respected for who they are and for how they feel. We acknowledge and honor children's feelings and encourage them to express their feelings—The Full Spectrum Birthday Song communicates these same values in a creative, musical and thoughtful way!"

Do you share these values? Your generous participation with The Full Spectrum Birthday Song CD Gift Program will put your expression of such values directly into the hands (and ears) of children.
