"My daughter asked me to turn on 'her story' about three little goblins for the hundredth time. She never gets tired of it!"
"The anger series became our rescue during difficult moments. My son now asks for his 'calm down story' when he feels overwhelmed."
"For the first time, bedtime isn't a battle. She asks for her 'sleep story' herself. I never thought this would be possible."
Based on real questions from 300+ families in our surveys
Yes-85% of parents in our surveys report calmer children after using Open Tales. Parents tell us children remember techniques from story characters better than parent explanations.

One parent shared: "My daughter has ADHD and is 'addicted' to them-for two months she listens every evening and falls asleep peacefully."
