ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Sept. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- September 22, 2015 - ANNAPOLIS, MD:The newly redesigned site of The JNP Project www.theJNPproject.com is live and ready for you to get empowered. The site is interactive and serves a broad audience of kids, parents, educators, and caring adults—all with information on nurturing character, courage and confidence in kids 5-12+. This interactive site for parents, and caring adults, is your toolbox for kids’ healthy self-esteem tools – anti-bullying!

The new website features expanded content and amenities in kids’ activities, parent tips, trending topics, and products in 5 simplified categories to help all the adults in children’s lives to better understand how to best help them learn values and especially to bolster self-esteem. The redesign incorporates an improved design with bold colors and a simplified navigation with easy-to-use links, and the ability to add informational videos on a regular basis.

JNP’s Founder and CEO, Dona Rudderow Sturn said, “The JNP mission is to empower children with a strong sense of a healthy self-esteem – their super-power inner awesome, is what we call it. One of the ways to do that was to create a very user-friendly website, not just for kids, but also for the adult: to quickly navigate to topics and tools they can use with their kids. With today’s tight, over-stacked schedules, our goal was to create a great experience in locating exactly what the user wants quickly and efficiently, and have it be rich content and a great experience.”

Ms. Sturn assembled a team of astute international professionals to create and develop content for this amazing global Project. “We have the support, approval, and guidance of a dedicated, impassioned, and devoted Advisory Committee of psychologists, educators, counselors, teachers, reading specialists, children’s programing directors, eBook publishers, parents, and young adults. Together, this inspiring team is working to build tools to enhance and strengthen character, courage, and confidence while instilling a healthy self-esteem in children. Kids and adults will be inspired.”
