💭 Helping Kids Understand Feelings, One Giggle at a Time
This year’s theme? Emotional well-being. That means each episode is packed with light-hearted stories and simple strategies to help kids deal with everyday emotions.
Whether it’s learning to take a calming “volcano breath” when you’re mad, giving yourself a hug when you’re feeling frustrated, or dancing out the grumps, our favorite furry residents of Sesame Street are here to show kids that it’s okay to feel all the feels—and that they’re never alone in it.
