Encouraging healthy emotional development
Creating a healthy relationship with emotions in early childhood is important for overall mental health. When we talk about feelings with our kids early and often, we validate and normalize all of their emotional experiences. Melon Collective pajamas help kids accept all of life's messiness while also creating opportunities for connection and conversation.
When did some feelings become "bad"?
Mental health isn't about being happy all the time. It's about having the ability to recognize and accept emotions while also being able to navigate them successfully using appropriate coping tools. When kids learn that all emotions are O.K. to have and none of their feelings are "bad," they feel confident in their ability to tolerate them.
Our Pajamas
Building a strong foundation
Bedtime is when all of the experiences and emotions of the day come to the surface. This is our opportunity to connect and help build a healthy narrative around hard feelings. Starting conversations early on increases the likelihood that our kids will develop resilience and empathy.
