Scripts are designed to promote actions that support interpersonal skills such as helping others, negotiation, cooperation, sharing and tolerance with an ending (Gina D's letter to grandma) that reinforces those educational objectives. Content is lively and fun, produced with state of the art computer animation and original positive songs and characters such as Simon Wannabe, Mister Pockets, Miss Muffin, Pierre D. Artist, TV Ted and Doggy Brown.

The major premise of Gina D's Kids Club is establishing and reinforcing positive values and behaviors through original songs and character performances that children will choose to adopt and imitate. Scripts are designed to promote actions that support interpersonal skills such as helping others, negotiation, cooperation, sharing and tolerance with an ending (Gina D's letter to grandma) that reinforces those educational objectives.

The art of training an animal provides a new skill that can result in more confidence for the younger teens. The Instructions create understanding of the method that leads to a favorable ending. Following directions allows the teen to achieve the desired results. Acquiring patience with an animal teaches discipline and hard work. Spending time with an animal forms a bond of caring and empathy. Learning something new gives the teen another reason to talk with others which, in turn, creates social connections. Also, education is a way for a teen to increase confidence in his/her ability to learn.
