What habits can Tella make a story about?

Is there a good habits book starring my child?

Tella makes a story instead of a printed book. It stars your child, your family and the habit you're working on, and it's ready the same day on your phone, tablet or TV.

Is a Tella story a behavior social story?

It can be. A social story walks a child through a moment that's hard for them, before it happens. A Tella story does that with your child as the hero, in pictures and narration. See what a social story is.

How to teach toddlers good behavior

Show the habit, keep directions simple, and praise it when it happens. Pediatric psychologist Emily Mudd of Cleveland Clinic suggests predictable routines and praising specific good behavior, and the Child Mind Institute suggests clear, simple directions, one at a time. Cincinnati Children's suggests modeling honesty yourself.

A behavior social story is one way to practice before the moment comes: a short story where your child sees themselves use gentle hands, listen, or try the new food. That's why Tella is built so the story stars your child, in your home, with the grown-ups who cheer them on.

Pick a habit above to see how it works, or about whatever your little one is learning. Your first story is free. No card needed.
