Ep 107: Slumberkins: Using play to support your child's emotional growth ! with Kelly & Callie, creators of Slumberkins

Ask Dr Jessica

Ask Dr Jessica Episode 107 with educator Callie Christensen and therapist Kelly Oriard. They are the co-CEOs and co-Founders of Slumberkins, which are essentially characters in the form of a stuffed animal that come with a themed book, bringing these characters to life. Slumberkins will make more sense as you hear the interview--but essentially Slumberkins are designed to help kids navigate through different emotions, all with the goal to help promote healthy, positive emotional development. These Slumberkins first made their appearance on Shark Tank, and they have since gone on to grow into apple original TV series produced in partnership with The Jim Henson company. Slumberkins are a great resource for parents to be aware of!
