Here are some of the great things people around the world are saying about ProgressiveKid:

Thanks for putting out such a great product. Your philosophy, commitment to morally/ethically responsible business practices, and environmentally friendly products have won me over. I will definitely recommend your products to others.

—Kirsten, Sacramento, California

Just wanted to say I received my package and I was very happy with the merchandise. The quality is excellent and I had already loved all the sayings. Sometimes it's really hard to tell what something really looks like when seen only on the internet and one can be really in for a surprise when seeing the product. I look forward to buying more merchandise.

Compliments on your e-shop—the portal is lovely and very well organised. Not to mention the things which you have chosen to sell. Fantastic! Do keep it that way:)

I want to say how much i love your site. i can get lost in it! i also like the fact that your shirts are not blatant messages to stop global warming, but rather enforce positive actions that will, in turn, help stop the bad effects we have had on the earth. thank you for all you offer,

—Kelly, Clayton, North Carolina

I . . . wanted to let you know how wonderful I think your website is. . . . When I read through the PK logo, I was so thrilled to find something that so eloquently summed up all the principles I'd love my child to grow up with. He's only two, but I've ordered the 6yr old t-shirt now so that I have it on hand when he gets to an age where he can really start to understand it. I thought I'd use the card in his room to start with so that he can start getting familiar with the concept. . . . Thank you again for being such an inspiration and creating something that we should all strive for—both children and adults.

I recently used the creative ideas from your kids rock page with my own children and nieces who were staying. The children ranged in ages from 4-13. I was so impressed with how the simple activities quickly activated the thinking and feeling responses within the children. It was not only a stimulating intellectual activity; it encouraged them to ponder and share their feelings and then create on paper how those feelings looked to them. I was surprised with the responses I was hearing, Things such as "I really care about earthworms because they do so much hard work" and "I am different because I am smaller than most kids my age, but it's okay because I am still a good person, and that matters more." It was perfect timing for my 8 year old niece who recently gave up ballet to pursue her interest in soccer. It validated for her that it was not a boys sport; it was a sport that she had an interest in, and it was okay for her to have a go at it, that she could challenge gender roles and had already started. Everyone loved drawing the chick, especially my 5 year old who happened to have a broody chook sitting on eggs in the garden. She had not really accepted the concept that humans were animals, but after the experience of the activities, and wearing her "proud to be an animal" top, it feels like she is grasping the idea better.

"Hello. Gavin here, the soon to be first progressive kid in Britain, even though im 26! It's a state of mind, of course. Thank you for considering an alien order, I'm most grateful. The website is fantastic, by the way. So may this be the start of an ever-expanding appeal across the globe for ProgressiveKid, spreading the caring principles you display so creatively. Love,"

Thank you for going to the effort and expense to have special fliers printed up for the Cory Elementary Walk to School Day! . . . I love your company and products. Thanks!

—Julie, Denver, Colorado

I just love the shirts. You've been wonderful about answering my questions thoroughly, promptly, and honestly. You've gained a very enthusiastic new customer. Thanks again.

—Julie, Honeoye Falls, New York

My son wore his "Free the Kids" t-shirt today—not only for valentine's day, but for peace week activities at his school—and the shirt was an UNQUALIFIED HIT!!! WE LOVE THE SHIRT... and so did other kids and parents. People couldn't wait to read what kids should be free from... and then it became this great educational tool to talk about what unknown words, to them, actually meant... or how known words were connected to kids' freedom! All in all, a fantastic shirt—whether for peace week at the school, or any day of the year!

—Bob, New York City, New York

"Hi! I love your products! My daughter thoroughly loves the book I ordered--it is now a staple. As for the baby balm, it works like magic! She's had a cold, resulting in a drool rash from sticking her tongue out (I think to breathe better). Anyway, after just one night with it on, I saw amazing results! Thanks."

— Virginia, Poulsbo, Washington

"I LOVE THIS [PK icons]!!!!! And the PK logo too, of course...;) Please, please, please make a T-shirt with this on one side and your logo on the other.... Glorious! All the best,"

— Cynthia, Ipswich, Massachusetts

"Thanks! We got the cards we ordered today. That was fast. They're great. I'll definitely shop at your site again."

— Tanya, Olympia, Washington

"Tres magnifique... love your site...."

"Hi. I can't wait until your "Families Come in All Colors, Shapes, and Sizes" adult shirt is available. That certainly hits the nail on the head for our family. We got your first news letter. It looks great. I am excited about the party packs. I have ideas for all of them. Going to the ocean and the Education Center. The Raptor Center and Botanical Gardens. These are neat and when I think about the expense of doing "goodie bags" for each child with all of the "junk," this is pretty cost effective plus much more mom and mommy approved. This would also be much more appealing to our children and their freinds. I emailed your site to several of our friends and family. Good luck with all of your new endeavors. Birthday time will be in a few months."

"I am writing to tell you how wonderful your lip balm is. I had very dry lips all weekend on my trip to Utah and back to California. When I got home, I put your balm on my lips and within a day they were supple and soft and kissable again. I love your product! Sincerely,"
—Pat, Grass Valley, California

"We got the packages, thank you! The gifts were a hit this Christmas :)"

"Hello. I recently stumbled across your website in a search for eco-friendly baby clothing and wanted to let you know I think it is a great site. I was wondering if you offered a PK icon poster for my child's room. I saw that you had the icons on a t-shirt and set of cards, but I was hoping to have a sort of daily reminder in her room. Thank you,"
