Some days, the smallest thing sets it off.
Epic tantrums
Meltdowns
Anger outbursts
Hitting and throwing
Whining that won't stop
Arguing over everything
Falling apart at the word "no"
Maybe it's leaving the park. Maybe it's the wrong color cup. Your child feels something big, and it comes out the only way they know how. And afterward, you're left wondering what you could have done differently.
Your child isn't trying to make things hard. They're still learning how to handle big feelings, and that takes time.
Even grown-ups have days when big emotions get the best of us. For little ones, it's all brand new. They don't need the feeling to go away. They need someone to help them understand it and find a better way through it.
That's where Team Supercrew stories come in. ↓
1
Timing
The best time to help is before the meltdown.
In the middle of a meltdown, your child can't really hear you. "Calm down" doesn't land, and you both end up more frustrated.
Stories give you a different moment: snuggled up at bedtime, riding in the car, on a slow afternoon. Your child is relaxed and listening, and the ideas have room to sink in. So when a big feeling shows up later, they have something to remember.

The foundation
Grounded in research, written with heart.
Each Team Supercrew story is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps children see how their feelings, thoughts, and actions connect.
The stories help kids recognize and understand what they're feeling. At the back of each book, you'll find a page of simple tips you can use to help your child calm down when big emotions hit.
Most of all, kids feel understood. The storylines feel familiar, and the characters feel like friends.

What's inside
Four stories about moments every family knows.
Each book is about a feeling your child has already had, and a Team Supercrew friend who helps them through it.
Benny the Brave in The First Day Jitters: feeling nervous about something new
Gen the Grit in I Quit!: wanting to give up when something gets hard
Chloe the Calm in The Bedtime Blues: feeling wound up and unable to settle
Keisha the Kind in My Little Sister Situation: feeling frustrated with a sibling
Little ones often don't have the words for what they feel. These stories give them those words, so they can start telling you what's going on inside.

The long game
Every feeling is welcome.
We never want kids to feel like their feelings are wrong. Being angry is okay. Being sad is okay. What they're learning is what to do with those feelings, so they don't have to hide them or let them take over.
It's okay to feel mad. It's not okay to throw the toy. And there's something they can do instead. That's the part we wanted to help with.
It's a skill they'll carry with them to school, to friendships, and for the rest of their lives.

Why it sticks
Kids hold on to stories.
Research shows kids are up to 20 times more likely to remember something they learn through a story.
That's why a lecture is forgotten by dinnertime, but Benny, Keisha, Chloe, and Gen stick around. When a new day feels scary or bedtime feels impossible, your child remembers how their Team Supercrew friend helped.
And because the characters are helping someone else in the story, your child never feels like the one in trouble. They're just learning alongside a friend.

"Team Supercrew makes emotions easy to understand. My son couldn't grasp the word 'frustrated' before, but now he connects it to his feelings about having a new sister. Thank you so much!"
