Slumberkins Launches New SEL-Focused Book Club for Kids
Slumberkins is the culmination of more than 20 years of friendship and a passion for promoting early emotional learning.
As mothers with family therapy and early education backgrounds, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Kelly Oriard and Callie Christensen identified a need for intentional children’s products while on maternity leave together in 2016.
Slumberkins aims to provide parents and caregivers with various tools to support their children in building social-emotional learning skills. These skills, like self-awareness, independence, and acceptance, are primarily supported by the books and affirmations associated with each Slumberkins creature. It can be challenging for children experiencing a language disorder to communicate and access language centers.
When children experience big emotions, it becomes even more challenging to communicate. Consistency in repeating the affirmations helps language to become more automatic. Then, when big feelings happen, the affirmations can support children in problem-solving. Slumberkins supports parents and caregivers in raising caring, confident, and resilient children.
Kelly and Callie hope to spread the Slumberkins mission and prepare children to thrive in the modern world.
