Bedtime isn’t just about getting children to sleep. It can be one of those small, everyday moments where emotional skills are practised before they’re needed in a big moment.

One routine I love is BRUSH. BEAR. BOOK.

Then finish with their bedtime story.

Brush their teeth.

Spend a few minutes with Teddy. Try a calming activity, talk about a feeling from the day, or simply have a quiet moment together.

Nothing complicated. No big emotional lesson.

Just a familiar little rhythm that gives children space to slow down, connect and make sense of what they’re feeling. Emotional wellbeing is built through these small, repeated moments.

Where could a little Teddy time fit into your child’s day?

When children learn to talk about their feelings, they’re learning skills that can support their emotional wellbeing for life.

Hearing a mum share how Tedology is helping her child settle at daycare and understand and express emotions is exactly why we created our Wellbeing Bears.

Little moments of emotional learning, making a big difference.

Picnics, bears and big feelings! 🧸☀️
The City of Cockburn helped support Tedology at the start, so we loved giving back at the community picnic. Spreading joy to so many little ones (and grown-ups!) while sharing how they were feeling today.
Even the Mayor joined in backstage. He was feeling excited and earned himself a feelings sticker! 😄
Thank you, Cockburn! 🙏

The after-school hunger. The bedtime burst of energy. The “I don’t know” when you ask what’s wrong.

Some days, there’s a lot to work through. For both of you.

Take a breath. You don’t have to find the perfect words straight away. Sometimes, “I’m here” is enough to start.

Save this for the moments you need a breath, too.

Sometimes “How was your day?” is just too big a question.

So we can make it smaller.

What did today feel like?

What felt comforting?

Was there a moment you felt proud, worried or frustrated?

The Tedology Bear Wellbeing Kit gives children different ways to explore those conversations through play, drawing and gentle prompts, without needing to have all the words straight away.

Small conversations. Everyday moments. Building emotional understanding over time.

Explore feelings with Teddy at tedology.com.au.

Absolutely thrilled to share this one 🧸❤️

Thanks to the wonderful Joanne and the AOJ Woods Foundation, eligible charities can now apply for funding to bring Tedology Well-being Bears, Resources and Training to children going through tough times, including foster care, trauma, loss and hospital stays.

When I created Tedology, getting this resource to those who need it most, was always the dream.

If your organisation supports children through life's toughest moments, I'd love to tell you more and share details of how to apply. Email us: [email protected].

Why I still buy bath toys for my boys, when they’re both over 9 years old.

Nobody asks for them. I just quietly add a new animal, boat or little character every now and then.
And they use them anyway.

From the next room I’ll hear the walrus arguing with the spaceman. The seal gets involved. Then the boat arrives and splashes everyone.

It’s lovely to listen to.

But as a psychologist, I also know there can be much more happening inside that play.

Children can replay parts of their day. Work through disagreements. Give a difficult feeling to a character instead of themselves. Try a different ending. Or simply enjoy the sensory experience of warm water, pouring and splashing.

As children get older, imaginative play can quietly disappear. Screens increase. Life gets busier. And play can start to feel a little too “babyish”.

So heres’ what to do?

Don’t make a big deal of it.

Leave the toys there.

Play doesn’t suddenly stop mattering because a child is older.

Sometimes it just needs a little protecting.

Have you noticed the way your child plays change as they’ve grown?

Beautiful to Watch 😍

The job isn’t to create children who are always calm, its to give them ways to learn how to talk about feelings and manage big emotions when they become overwhelmed.

Watching a child use their Tedology Wellbeing Bear to explore feelings, practise calming strategies and build confidence is so beautiful.

Knowing they’re building emotional skills that can support their future wellbeing, while they “play with Teddy” is even better.
