About This Podcast
This gentle children’s podcast brings realistic, age-appropriate stories to life for toddlers and preschoolers ages 1.5–4, inspired by everyday experiences like having a new sibling, big feelings, and having to wait for something you want. Each short social story introduces children to common scenarios and how to respond in them. Episode descriptions also include tips for caregivers that help you tailor your approach to your child based on their needs - whether they be multilingual, non-verbal, or neurodivergent. Created by a former early childhood teacher with a PhD in education, this podcast is a positive way to support emotional growth during car rides or quiet moments together!
