All New VeggieTales -The Penniless Princess—God’s Little Girl
I am sure by now you know we love VeggieTales. So when we heard about the new DVD coming out we was super excited! The all-new DVD The Penniless Princess—God’s Little Girl went on sale August 14th. The heart-warming story is based on the children’s book A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The story features plenty of engaging and fun music fit for families, including the all-new Silly Song “Best Friends Forever.” The DVD helps to teach an important lesson about knowing your own true worth and trusting God no matter what happens in life.
DVD Synopsis
Sweet Sarah Crew has everything a little girl could want – a loving family, lots of friends and a closet full of frilly dresses! But when life takes a turn and Sarah goes from riches to rags, will she realize that her true worth lies not in what she has, but what she has in her heart? Find out in this inspiring new story from VeggieTales that reminds kids who they are in God’s eyes.
In the story Sara has everything a little girl could want. She was born into riches, lots of family & friends, and a closet full of frilly dresses. Little did she know things was about to change. Her father had to go off to work and had to leave Sarah in an all-girls boarding school. Since her and her father was wealthy, everyone treated Sarah just like a princess like her father always did.
While away her father passed away. Things then changed for Sara, she had to become a servant and was treated very badly. All of her possessions were sold to pay for her stay in the boarding school and she’s forced to work for room and board. However, this still doesn’t get Sara down. She was always taught that no matter what she is always going to be a princess in God’s eyes. Nobody understood how she could still feel this way. No matter what happened she still stayed positive.
As a mother of girls, I really think this has to be my favorite VeggieTales so far. It taught a very important lesson not only for girls but for EVERYONE! Princess Jada loved it and was almost in tears when the lady in charge started being mean to Sara after her dad died. However, she started seeing that Sara would not let this get her down. Sara believes that every little girl is a princess no matter what it looks like in the outside it’s all about what is in the INSIDE! I have always tried to teach my daughters self-worth and this DVD help them see it hands on!
Singer/Songwriter Ronnie Freeman and VeggieTales joined forces to compile a music video titled “Orphan”—a beautiful song that celebrates our “adopted” status as part of God’s family. The music video shows clips from the new Penniless Princess DVD, and you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Three Homework Tips for This School Year
With everybody getting set to go back to school, it’s a good time to start thinking about the dreaded “H” word – homework. Homework isn’t just dreaded by the kids. Many parents dread homework as well. If you and your child need motivation to get that homework completed each night, here are some ideas to help you get through it.
Have a Homework Space
One of the worst places for kids to do homework is in front of the television set. This is not only distracting, but it can take much longer to do the assignments than what is actually needed. Have a space in your home where your kids set aside for doing their homework. If you don’t have a separate room or area where they can be free from distractions, let them do it at the dining room table. Just be sure to keep the distractions to a minimum, such as turning the TV off and keeping conversations to a whisper.
Play Music
Studies have shown that music helps kids focus on the task at hand. But you have to be careful with your music choice. Music with lyrics can be very distracting and cause your child to lose focus because their brain will be singing along with the lyrics. Instead, choose classical music and other instrumental music to play at a reasonable volume. It also makes homework less tedious so they will be more likely to do it when they come home from school.
Make Them Less Dependent
As parents, you may have a temptation to fill in some of those blanks or do the calculations yourself when helping your children with homework. But this simply isn’t productive and you aren’t doing them any favors by doing this. Instead, encourage them to figure out the problem themselves. You can give them a little coaching and direction, but the only way they will be independent and learn the material is if you let them do it themselves. One way to do it is to ask them to explain to you how to do the problem. When kids play the role of the teacher, they are more likely to think about what they are doing and it will be easier for them to remember when you are not around to help them.
Nobody likes doing homework, but it’s a necessity for both children and parents. Knowing how to motivate and encourage your children to do their assignments will lead to academic success and fewer frustrations for you. If your child is struggling with school, it might be a good idea to find a tutor. With so many options available for extra help don’t you owe it to your child and yourself to make sure they get the help they need to succeed this school year? Sites like Tutorhub provide online tutoring and homework help all from the comfort of your home, by putting students in contact with professional tutors for one to one private tutoring in online setting.
