HealthRock® recommended by Apples for Health
April 21, 2006
A new educational health website geared for kids called HealthRock® was conceived by a nationally known women's health expert to help parents and children learn about health issues in a fun, educational way that leads to positive behavior change.
HealthRock.com is the "baby" of Dr. Machelle M. Seibel - a leading expert in women's health, a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Massachusetts, and Editor in Chief of Sexuality, Reproduction and Menopause, a journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
Combining his passion for writing and recording music with education became his primary goal and in 2003 he created the HealthRock® CD series combining fun music with public health/wellness messages. The new interactive website is multi-faceted and features:
* Songs geared for kids about nutrition, hygiene, smoking, obesity, and much more. Selections include "It's Time to Take a Bath," "I Am a Lot Like You," "The Heart is a Pump" and "I'm Best at Being Me," among other upbeat songs designed to teach valuable lessons to kids and help parents discuss difficult or important topics with their kids.'
* Music downloads for .99, as well as downloadable ring tones.
* A useful section geared to teachers, parents and caregivers also offer short e-Books that can be downloaded and used in conjunction with the topics covered on the HealthRock® website.
* A fun, interactive game called "Help Skelly" where kids can use their mouse to put together a dancing skeleton on a skateboard.
* Engaging cartoons that add graphics to songs such as "Phat Fat Rap," "Healthy Bones," and more.
