All the moments
Eleven areas of everyday life. Each moment has an example story beginning to read.
Bedtime and sleep
4 moments
Stories to talk about getting ready for bed. Watch them together earlier in the evening, never in bed.
Not for watching in bed or just before sleep. Health guidance suggests turning screens off an hour before bedtime.
Everyday care
9 moments
Stories about small daily things that turn into big ones. Your child's pace is the pace.
Mealtimes
3 moments
Stories about new foods and sitting down to eat. No pressure in any of them.
Relaxed, repeated tasting is what builds acceptance. A cartoon can't do that for you.
Goodbyes and new places
7 moments
Little stories about the first day, the goodbye at the door and the new room.
Zubby does not replace the preparation your child's health team gives.
Big feelings

Zubby isn't for the middle of a meltdown. Watch together on a calm day.
When things feel scary
7 moments
Stories with a calm hero, a caring grown-up and honest, concrete steps.
Zubby does not replace the preparation your child's health team gives.
Fears are common. If fear keeps stopping your child from sleeping or doing everyday things, talk to your child's doctor.
Doing it myself
4 moments
Stories about one small step: a sock, a shoe, a toy put away.
Changes at home
4 moments
Stories for a new baby, a move, two homes or a goodbye. Mixed feelings are part of every one.
Research on preparing children for changes at home is thin. A story is one way to start the talk.
Zubby is a family storytelling tool, not a medical, therapeutic or educational treatment. Zubby cartoons have not been tested in studies.
Saying no and personal space
1 moment
A way to start a conversation about saying no.
A moment to give
2 moments
A cartoon as a keepsake for a family you care about.
If you are worried about your child's sleep, eating, fears or behavior, talk to your child's doctor, nurse or teacher.
Getting along
4 moments
Stories about sharing, saying sorry and joining in. The kind choice is shown, not lectured.
