Goldman, Ph.D., FTOS, FASMBS-IH, licensed psychologist, speaker, and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine “As a child psychiatrist and advocate for children's mental health, I am deeply impressed by Slumberkin's book on parenting. This book is a treasure trove of wisdom, blending therapeutic principles with practical strategies that empower parents to support their children's emotional development from the earliest stages.

You can’t go wrong with this with this wonderful offering from the creators behind the lovable Slumberkins brand.” —Yvette Nicole Brown, actress and Slumberkins superfan “This book is what I wanted for all the shitty parents whose kids went to school with my kids. This book makes me hopeful for parents and caregivers and humans so when their kids experience any kind of emotions, they can guide them (and themselves) through the feelings, navigating and embracing all the scary, underwhelming, and overwhelming things life throws at them. I wish this book was published 20 years ago. Or 50 years ago…” —Pamela Adlon, voice of Fox’s Mom on the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ series Slumberkins “All Feelings Welcome is a must-have book for parents and caregivers looking to support emotional resilience in their kids.
