Teachers, therapists, and parents—watch in amazement as these energetic songs transform your classroom, clinic, or home into a sensory wonderland!
Creator of the much-loved albums Jumpin' Jellybeans and Cool Bananas, Gen Jereb used the principles of sensory processing theory to create engaging, ready-to-use, rhythmic songs and activities to support self-regulation for the "out-of-sync" child.
Australian sing-alongs and storytelling add a unique flair to the overall flavor of the music. Completely interactive from beginning to end, call and response songs, "Kid Power" chants, full body movement, and dancing encourage the child to get involved. Songs to calm and organize are also provided to support regulation for nervous systems with sensory defensiveness.
Kids will have loads of fun singing along and dancing to these entertaining, engaging, and unique songs!

With over 25,000 CDs in print, her released recordings, including No Worries, Say G'day, Cool Bananas, and Jumpin' Jellybeans, provide parents, professionals, caregivers, and educators with fun and engaging, ready-to-use rhythmic songs and activities to support self regulation for the "out of sync" child.
"Kids will move and groove with these cheerful and charming songs, just right for strengthening sensory-motor skills, attention, and stamina."
Carol S. Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-Sync Child and The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun
"I am an Occupational Therapist working with special needs children in Ottawa. I heard Gen's first CD a year ago (had never heard of her before) and was so impressed that I attended her workshop in Montreal last May. Was just as impressed with the workshop as the CD. I purchased her other CDs and spread them throughout the classes in the two schools where I work. All of the teachers love them!! … As I walk through the Special Needs school I hear her music coming from every classroom. I showed the Principal the latest CD and she ordered one for every class!! The CDs have even filtered into the regular kindergarden and Grade 1 classes. Thank you Gen!!"

"As a teacher and a clinician, Genevieve is truly unique. She has a special way of connecting with children as well as relating to their parents. She can make the most complex information understandable to parents, thus empowering them to advocate for their children across environments. Genevieve is creativity in motion. She can make the mundane seem remarkable and the dull seem shining."
