About this listen

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. Created by a former early childhood teacher with a PhD in education, this podcast also includes helpful tips and language for caregivers. It’s a positive way to support emotional growth during playtime, car rides, or quiet moments together!
