Stepping Stories was founded by two moms and grew out of their personal parenting experiences. Their mission is to make parenting easier through personalized stories that help young children with transitions and challenges.

Written by a team of child development experts, the personalized children’s books employ a research-based approach to easing childhood transitions and fostering social emotional growth.

bedtime imageBook topics include Sleep, Food Allergies, Death of a Pet, Brushing Teeth, Going to School, New Sibling, Divorce or Separation, Potty, Doctor/Dentist Visit, Taking Turns, Moving, and Family Illness.

Stepping Stories are rooted in well-researched theories of child development. Each story is personalized, casting the child as the hero. Toddlers are egocentric, thriving on repetition and knowing what comes next. Stepping Stories are effective because they speak to toddlers on their level. The text and illustrations are simple, direct, and designed to be seen and heard over and over again. When children understand the change that is coming, they gain mastery over what is expected. The result is that they feel confident, excited, and ready for their next developmental step!

As a child, what better place to learn about something new or scary than snuggled up on the lap of someone you trust and love?

This is the concept behind Stepping Stories, personalized children’s books designed to cover a range of topics that can help parents guide their little ones through transitions.

I ordered a book for my niece and was so excited to give her a gift with her name in it! Even though she is only two and a half, having a book read to her with her name in it was an obvious treat. I watched her eyes light up with excitement as she heard her name being inserted into the book.

I chose the book about toothbrushing since this is a phase of life she’s working on. I was able to personalize several options about the her character including skin and hair color, person who will be reading the book, and a comfort item. It was fun watching her character “come to life” on the pages.

As my sister-in-law read the book, the look of comfort on my niece’s face was so affirming that this concept is effective. The bond of trust is already there and introducing any topic that may be frightening, while in the arms of someone you love, makes it just a little bit better. I’m sure after reading this book multiple times, the toothbrushing routine will be reinforced and my niece may have the shiniest teeth on the block…or at the least an empty tube of toothpaste!

  1. I can’t find a post to comment on for the other giveaway so I’ll comment here? 🙂 I would take my boys on a family date! Little girl is due to arrive in March and it would be fun to get out for a family date night before baby’s arrival.
