In this episode, we sit down with the founders of Slumberkins, whose mission is to help children (and parents) build emotional intelligence through stories, connection, and play. They share how their backgrounds in education and family therapy inspired a global movement that’s changing how families talk about feelings. We dive into their Connect-to-Grow Framework, the real-life challenges parents face when supporting emotional development, and how small daily rituals can help families break old patterns and grow together. You’ll learn: * How emotional learning shapes lifelong confidence and connection * What the “Connect-to-Grow” framework looks like in daily family life * Why supporting parents is just as vital as supporting kids * Simple, practical ways to nurture emotional wellness at home * What’s next for Slumberkins as they continue redefining emotional education Connect with Slumberkins: 🌐 Website: www.slumberkins.com 📸 Instagram: @slumberkins 📘 Facebook: @slumberkins K3 Homeschool Foundations Resources: Science of Reading Simplified Ecourse 5 Foundations of Reading Ecourse Skill-Based Literacy Curriculum (start here if you're not sure which level to choose) Level 1: Letters and Sounds (Parent Led) Level 1: The Letter Mysteries (Video Led) Level 2: Beginning Reader Level 3: The Sound and Spelling Guide Get the first 2 letter lessons for FREE Get the first 5 Reading Lessons for FREE Your Guide to Teach High-Frequency Words Get the first 10 lessons to teach high-frequency words for FREE The Literacy Clarity Plan- Work one on one with me to create a detailed literacy plan made for YOUR child FREE Literacy for Littles Ebook ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/foundations-of-learning-6742795/episodes/raising-confident-connected-kids-emotional-learning-strategies-from-slumberkins/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/foundations-of-learning-6742795/raising-confident-connected-kids-emotional-learning-strategies-from-slumberkins.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
