Get on Track with Pandora

I am a little behind when it comes to music and the radio. I don't have satellite radio in the car, I rarely use my ipod, and my car's CD player is broken (and I don't care to fix it). We spend a lot of time on the road, now that school is back in session. And while the radio is always on, it is often overshadowed by conversations ranging from the school day to what we are going to eat for dinner. Besides, the constant rotation of the same songs becomes quite boring. I'd rather turn the radio completely off.

However, we all know that music is an important part of everyone's life. When shared, it can do wonders. Do you remember what you were doing when you that song that just moved you? What about your favorite jam that you hadn't heard in awhile? Or better yet, are you tired of hearing the same thing over and over again? If you can respond to any of these questions, it's time to use Pandora.


Pandora now offers kid-friendly stations. Use them on your smartphone, the computer, or other qualifying electronic devices.

Check out some of these stations:

Toddler Radio – Meant for kids 4 and under, this station is educational and fun! A variety of toddler-friendly themes and music genres are explored. Look for Sesame Street, Disney, & The Wiggles among others.


Lullabye – Meant for kids 5 and under, this station is designed to prepare your tyke for a nap or bedtime (or any time you want to bring the energy level down a notch). It's full of mellow sounds and sweet lullabies.

Radio for Kids – Meant for kids 7 and under, this station is fun, educational, and not too baby-ish. For kids who are moving on up from Toddler Radio. Many musical genres are included here, and due to the variety and quality of songs, it's enjoyable for kids and adults!

Rockin' Kids Radio – Meant for kids 7 and under. This one is my personal favorite; an energetic station good for dancing, room-cleaning and high-energy play. This station is a winner for kids (and adults!) who love upbeat music. Rock out, kiddos.

Tween Radio – Meant for ages 8 to adult. This station is appropriate for those too old for children's music but a bit too young for rock 'n' roll's more adult themes. It includes pop music favorites like Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, and the cast from “High School Musical.”

Registration is free, and the music is priceless. Discover something new today!
