Many of us want to foster emotional learning for our kids and support them as they navigate their big feelings—but we don’t always have the right tools in our toolbox. In fact, we’re often learning these skills for ourselves while we try to teach them to our children. 

That’s why I’m so grateful for Slumberkins—a brand committed to supporting parents and offering them tangible tools and resources to help foster their kids’ emotional health. This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by the co-founders of Slumberkins, Kelly Oriard and Callie Christensen, to discuss what emotional learning looks like—both for our children and ourselves.
