READ THIS WHEN…

    1. Your child thinks mistakes mean they’re not smart

     

    1. Your child complains about what they don’t have, even after a Target run.

     

    1. Your child rolls their eyes mid-sentence and you wonder what happened to the baby who adored you

     

    1. Your kids won’t stop fighting—and you’re always the referee

     

    1. Your child says “I can’t” before they even try.

      

    1. Your child has 487 toys but insists there’s nothing to do.

     

    1. Your child digs in their heels and says ‘I’m not sorry!’—even when you know they are.

     

    1. Your child looks you in the eyes and tells a lie—and you’re not sure how to handle it without shame.

     

    1. Every request turns into ‘just one more show’—and you’re tired of being the screen police.

    Your child can’t wait for something for 10 minutes without melting down.

What Customers Are Saying:

"I’ve read parenting books, I’ve tried breathing exercises—but this was the first thing that actually worked for my anxious child. The stories gave us a way to talk about big feelings without it turning into a meltdown."
 — Melissa A., mom of a 6-year-old

"My daughter asked to re-read Jabari Jumps three nights in a row—and then she actually volunteered to try something new at school. That’s never happened before."
 — Tina R., parent of a 7-year-old

"This packet gave me language I didn’t know I needed. The questions, activities, and book pairings helped me see my child in a new way—and helped him see himself in the characters."
 — Jonathan M., dad of a 5-year-old

"I thought this would just be about reading—but it turned into healing. My son now says things like, ‘I’m just having the thought that I’m scared,’ which blows my mind. This is therapy hidden in bedtime stories."
 — Renee D., mom of two
