Slumberkins offers several adorable cuddly animals and tools to help teach children different things. For example, their Slumber Sloth collection teaches children how to relax. If you’re looking for something to encourage emotional wellbeing, check out The Feels Set.
The Feels collection builds awareness of a child’s emotional experiences by prompting him/her to pay attention to their thoughts and body sensations. It validates one’s feelings as okay and healthy.
Slumberkins’ blog explains the importance of emotional wellbeing:
“What if we re-framed our children’s negative emotional expression as the healthy process of releasing built-up stress they carry throughout the course of a busy day? We all need to unburden our hearts by expressing our feelings. When children feel safe sharing the whole spectrum of emotions with the important people in their lives — who listen rather than trying to ‘change’ their feelings — they are better able to manage them without the addition of negative self-evaluation or shame.”
