Kids feel everything before they can explain any of it.
Without the words or the tools, those feelings come out all tangled up. GIBBY gives them both.
Can't yet name what they're feeling
Melts down before they can calm down
Screens distract, but don't fix the real problem
The toolkit for big feelings
Learn it, move with it, hug it out. Three pieces that work together — no batteries, no screens.
A fun way to feel better.
Balancing on the SlackBoard activates the vestibular system, and the vestibular system is wired straight to the brain's stress and emotion centers. A few minutes of balancing can settle a busy nervous system, the same way rocking calms a baby.
- Makes regulation feel like play, not a punishment or a timeout
- Faster resets, so bedtime (or homework, or dinner) doesn't blow up
- Builds a habit they'll carry past childhood, not just a quick fix for today
A story that teaches kids to feel it — and move through it.
Follow GIBBY through a day that gets a little tangled, and watch him learn to notice what's happening in his body.
- Teaches real emotional vocabulary: boredom, worry, anxiety, calm
- Turns abstract feelings into something a child can locate in their body
- Gives kids tools to find calm that they can access all on their own
The friend who hugs back.
GIBBY's hands and feet close with soft velcro, so he can wrap around a wrist, a neck, or a favorite stuffed animal.
- Gives kids something to hold onto while they work through a feeling
- Lets kids re-enact GIBBY's story in their own words
- Becomes a portable calm-down companion, on the board or off it

Why I created GIBBY'S
Big Emotions Bundle
“I have a daughter who has really big emotions, and when she was about 3 we were having long tantrums every night before bedtime.
I made this to be the emotional literacy toolkit I wanted when my own kids were deep in their tantrum era.”
Bring GIBBY home.
