Why Team Supercrew?
Research shows that children learn best through stories, play, and relatable characters. That is why each Team Supercrew book is designed with your child in mind, featuring:
Simple, repetitive storylines that meet children at their developmental level.
Rich illustrations that help children explore emotions and thoughts through visual cues.
Memorable, relatable characters who model emotional regulation in everyday situations.
Our Books Grow with Your Child
Here are some tips for each stage of development.
Learning with Repetition and Visuals
At this stage, children love hearing the same story over and over. It helps them connect with the characters and their emotions.
“How do you think the character is feeling? What tells you that? Look at their face and body for clues.”
“Why do you think they feel that way?”
Kids this age will love pretending to be their favorite Team Supercrew character!
Connecting Strategies to Their Own Experiences
Kids in this age range are ready to practice emotional regulation with gentle guidance.
“Sarah says she feels scared. How can you tell? What is her face and body showing? What might she do if she’s scared?”
After reading, talk about times when your child has felt the same way or faced a similar situation.
Thinking More Deeply
Older children can dive into complex ideas like empathy and understand the core concepts of how our thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected.
Encourage your child to explore the characters’ thoughts and consider how different people might see the same situation differently.
“What do you think Miko is feeling? How might someone else think about this situation?”
At this age, children can also relate to the idea that some thoughts can be “tricky” or “untrue.” For example, you might ask:
“Miko thinks everyone is having fun while she is sleeping. Do you think that’s true?”
A Final Tip
Children learn emotional regulation skills best during calm moments. Team Supercrew books are perfect for these times, allowing you to role-play and practice skills that your child can use later when navigating “big feelings” situations.
