It can be challenging for growing kids to connect their minds and bodies. With help from Sesame Workshop, families can learn about feelings and health with videos, articles, games, and stories that focus on emotional literacy. 

Continuing their commitment to the emotional well-being of kids, Sesame Workshop aims to help kids manage their feelings and overall needs. Families can use their free resources, available in English and Spanish, to learn about emotions with help from Elmo, Wes, Abby, and more. 

What better way to learn than through song? Kids can sing “My Body, My Brain” to understand how their bodies connect to their minds. This educational tune explains how engaging in movement, nutrition, and rest can result in a healthy mindset.

Sesame Street friends star in three new videos that explain the importance of emotions. Kids can learn Elmo and Gabrielle’s game from “Feelings Detective” to better understand their feelings. In “Butterfly Breathing with Abby,” families can learn how to manage emotions through breathing exercises. “Heart to Heart” explores the importance of supportive emotional spaces through Wes and his dad, Elijah. 

Families can take an interactive approach to emotions with Sesame Workshop’s new digital resources. Kids can play I Notice, I Feel, I Can to notice their body’s reactions, name their feelings, and try different coping strategies. If your kids don’t like games, you can try reading Feelings, Feelings, Everywhere, which explores how it’s okay to express feelings regardless of the time and reason. 

Sesame Workshop has everything you need to help kids understand themselves, their feelings, and their emotions. Families can learn about emotional literacy through various resources now available at sesameworkshop.com.
