Music with a Message: HealthRock(TM) Interactive Website Educates Kids Through Song

BOSTON, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- A new educational health website geared for kids called HealthRock(TM) was launched this week to coincide with the start of the new school year. The interactive, upbeat website was conceived 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 expertise with his passion for writing and recording music, he created the HealthRock(TM) CD series combining fun music with public health/wellness messages. The new interactive website expands the concept with music downloads, animation, games and other features:

* Songs geared for kids about nutrition, hygiene, smoking, obesity, and
much more. Selections include "It's Time to Take a Bath," "Exercise,"
"The Heart is a Pump," "B.O." 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.

* Engaging cartoons that add graphics to songs such as "Phat Fat Rap,"
"Healthy Bones," "Zitz," and more.

* A fun, interactive game called "Help Skelly" where kids can use their
mouse to put together a dancing skeleton on a skateboard.

* Short e-Books geared to teachers, parents and caregivers that can be
downloaded and used in conjunction with the topics covered on the
HeathRock(TM) website.

* "Ask Dr. S" -- a Question and Answer section.

* Music downloads for .99, as well as downloadable ring tones.

"Our goal is to make learning about health fun and memorable," says Dr. Seibel.
