“I have been a nationally certified school psychologist for 27 years and a licensed clinical professional counselor for ten years. In all those years, I have spent a great deal of time dealing with children of all ages, along with their families and all the problems that have occurred. I have been able to review and utilize many different tools to assist children over the years.
After reviewing CareMail™, I can and most certainly do whole-heartedly endorse the potential benefits and effectiveness of this amazing communication tool. It is clear when this product is utilized effectively, the benefits can be seen with increased confidence and self-esteem, increased ability to effectively communicate with both peers and between parents and kids, and overall increased/stronger personal relationships.
Although I can see the potential benefits from the therapeutic standpoint, as a mother of two boys, I can also see there can be great benefits gained from the family aspect simply in dealing with the trials and tribulations of raising children. Teachers, social workers, clergy, counselors, parents, grandparents and anyone who deals with children on any level will definitely benefit from using CareMail™.

“I have been a fourth grade teacher for 14 years and I can tell you that this is an amazing product. You are right on target with the importance of allowing young individuals to express their feelings, thoughts and fears. It is a proven fact that when children are allowed to express their feelings, they become more confident and self assured. From my teaching experience I can tell you that the children who have been given the opportunity to communicate and be heard are the children that glow with self-esteem.
There are many ways that CareMail™ can be utilized in the classroom. The question cards are perfect for journaling as they are wonderful writing starters. We journal everyday and I told my class that they were going to start CareMail™ journaling. The mailbox was put in the middle of the writing table and each student was asked to pick a card and use it as their first sentence. For example “The three things that I love about myself are……..” These cards provide a fun twist to their journaling exercise and they now look forward to this part of their day. I also love the cards that provide an opportunity for children to be challenged in a positive way. When one of my students gets their name in the Good News Jar they are allowed to pick a challenge card from the CareMail™ mailbox and read it to the class. They are then allowed 24 hours to complete the challenge. The next day is their opportunity to tell the class how they accomplished the challenge. Everyone wants to do this.
I have noticed a big change in many of my students. Although I have always been aware of the importance of communication, it is even more apparent now. Thank you for sharing this amazing idea.”

“I am a sixth grade teacher and a mother of three teenage sons. I can honestly tell you that I have expanded my thoughts about the importance and benefits of communication. Your CareMail™ product is a wonderful idea. Self-esteem is so important for children of all ages. I have used your product in the classroom and at home in a variety of ways. We started with allowing anyone who volunteered to come to the front of the class and pick a card. After the first three volunteers, there were 26 waving hands to go next. I normally do not have that many volunteers. They loved the opportunity to talk about themselves. Not only did this prove to be a fun experience, I learned more about my class than I ever thought that I knew. I also took this home and used this with my three sons. WOW! We actually talked and laughed together for about an hour. These questions were very well thought out. There are many questions that I never thought to talk to my children about and I was surprised at some of their answers. I then wrote each one of them a note on the blank cards that are provided. It made me feel good to give them my undivided attention and the opportunity to talk about themselves. I never would have thought that something so simple could result in something so positive and beneficial. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to test this product and provide my feedback. Bravo to You and Good Luck.”

“Thank you for the opportunity to review your communication product, CareMail™. I feel that there is a real need for this product. I have three children and the benefits were amazing. The only problem that I found was that I did not know my children as well as I thought that I did.
The biggest benefit that this product brought to my family is the concept that increased communication allows children to express their feelings and feel good about who they are. I took your challenge and selected 10 question cards at random. My 12 year old son then answered these ten questions and I also wrote what I thought he would say. I can tell you that my guess was that eight of our answers would match when actually only three of our answers were the same. The time we spent together was special and encouraging. The realization was that I did not know my son as well as I thought I did. This product is unique in that the questions are things that I never would have thought to talk to my children about.
I also like the cards of encouragement and challenge. You have covered every way to increase communication with the children of the world. This product will really make a difference in the lives of many children.”
