Alpaca Will Be There: An Introduction to Stress Relief

Supports: Stress Relief As children learn, grow, and dive into new experiences, it’s natural for challenges to arise. When children experience stress and anxiety, it can be helpful to lean on loved ones for support. ＂Alpaca Will Be There＂ is an introduction to stress relief, helping children learn that although difficult situations may happen, they can share their worries with trusted friends, family, and community members to connect with their resilience and be reminded that they’re never alone. With Reflect & Connect questions at the end of the book, caregivers are supported in deepening their child’s understanding of this important emotional skill.

Authors Kelly Oriard, a family therapist, and Callie Christensen, a special education teacher, are the founders of Slumberkins, an emotional learning brand on a mission to empower children to be caring, confident, and resilient through stories, affirmations, tools, and activities.
