Stories where your child chooses what happens next — and practices a real-life social-emotional skill with every choice. You read aloud. Your child decides what the character does: take three big breaths, tell the teacher, try again. The character tries the hard thing, so your child doesn't have to be on the spot — and you get a front-row seat to what they pick. ~ Story packs built for what you're working on ~ With over 70 interactive stories, organized by what you might need for kids ages 3-8. For example: • When Feelings Get Big — Notice big feelings and choose what to do next • Learning to Be a Friend — Friendship skills, from hello to heart-to-heart • When and How to Speak Up - Practice speaking up kindly and clearly • I Can Keep My Hands to Myself - Practice self-control and respecting rules • I Can Be Independent - Morning routines, chores, and tidy-up skills • And more! ~ Now in classrooms ~ Teachers use Wanderly at story time with zero prep — the guidance is written into the story. Connect to your child's class to see the stories they're reading at school, then read them together at home and use the same words. ~ Developed with child therapists and educators ~ Every story draws on CBT, play therapy, and social stories. Kids notice a feeling, pause, and choose a next step — practicing empathy, problem-solving, and calming down in the safe space of a story. ~ Made for your child ~ Add their name, school, friends, and family, or choose from our diverse cast. Turn a real situation — a new school, a friend thing, a tricky week — into a story they can practice before it happens. Five reading levels grow with your child from ages 3 to 8. ~ Safe, and built by a mom ~ Wanderly was built by Laura, a mom of two and former Google for Education leader. Every image is parent-reviewed. ~ What clinicians say ~ "It creatively integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies into engaging stories that empower children to recognize and reframe unhelpful thoughts… It is a wonderful program that can be used in schools, homes, or therapy practices." — Hilary Katz, LICSW, LCSW-C "Wanderly's interactive, choice-based storytelling gives children a safe and engaging way to practice empathy, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and decision-making." — Alia Dolan, LCSW, 20+ years supporting children in schools ~ What teachers and parents say ~ "While we build the story together, even for my 'non-verbal' son who is expressing a few words, he was able to express the part that was more difficult for him about this new transition… It was a way for my son to be heard." — Maestra Ana, preschool teacher and mom "The stories give us a way to talk about dealing with those feelings when things are calm and we are connected. When he is in a hard moment, we can use language he has chosen from Wanderly to help him." — Eliza, mom of 2 Download today for social-emotional skills your kids will actually want to practice.
