The youngest female DJ in the world: DJ Beauty and the Beatz performing at the 2014 Book Bag Buffet Drive

www.djbeautyandthebeatz.com/

 Born in Las Vegas, NV, DJ Beauty and the Beatz was exposed to music by her father long before she could even crawl. Riding in the car with him running errands, she realized her own love for beats and lyrics. By six years of age, she began recognizing samples used by different artists and shouting “air” suggestions to the radio DJ to play certain songs together based on their similarities. It was at this point that her mother introduced her to the idea of becoming a DJ herself.

Happy Anniversary to By R.E.A.L. Kids. For over a year we have been working hard to create a program for the children of our community. By R.E.A.L.

Therefore, we where over the moon with excitement when we received a letter from North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory congratulating us on our efforts. Our main mission is to help children become (R.E.A.L.) Responsible, Enterprising, and Active for Life.

Forbes give your the most Important Money Lessons To Teach Your Kids

Given how important financial skills are to navigating life, it's surprising that our schools don't teach children about money.

As a parent, however, you can teach your child important financial lessons - and you should.
Kobliner says children as young as three years old can grasp financial concepts like saving and spending. Other reports revealed that kids' money habits are formed by age 7.

"The sooner parents start taking advantage of everyday teachable money moments (for example, give a six-year-old $2 and let her choose which fruit to buy), the better off our kids will be. Parents are the number one influence on their children's financial behaviors, so it's up to us to raise a generation of mindful consumers, investors, savers, and givers," she says

Watch Will Ferrell, Michelle Obama lead kids’ ‘focus group’

In a scene reminiscent of those ubiquitous AT&T commercials in which a gaggle of precocious kids acts as a “focus group,” first lady Michelle Obama released a video on Monday of herself and comedian Will Ferrell quizzing a group of adorable tots about veggies and healthy lifestyles as part of the week-long celebration of the four-year anniversary of the “Let’s Move” campaign.

Ferrell appears confused about what might constitute a nutritious diet. “No entire honeybaked hams?” he asks incredulously.
