Preppers for Kids Social Stories
Helping kids understand new situations, feel less anxious, and find peace with instructive, easy-to-use stories for common situations.
This seems too easy. Can reading a story with my kid actually help them stay cool at the doctor or dentist?
Yes! We recommend reading Preppers with your child once a day (and let’s be honest, when you customize it with pictures of your kid, they’ll ask to read it at least twice in a row!) for a week leading up to your event. Is your event tomorrow? It’s not too late! Download and start reading RIGHT NOW. Read it again at breakfast and in the waiting room. The magic of Preppers can still help your child, even if you have less than 24 hours before your big event.
Why should I believe you?
Good question! Read our bios and follow along with our parenting real talk on Instagram @PreppersforKids. We think you’ll be convinced.
What happens if my child still freaks out? Did Preppers not work?
Nope. Your child still may lose it at the doctor. But they’ll likely recover more quickly. And most importantly? They’ll be less likely to develop a long-term negative association with the experience (i.e. they won’t be the teen who still has to be held down every time they get a shot). So if you use a Prepper and your kid still freaks out, our best tip is to KEEP USING IT. That’s right, read your Prepper consistently before the next physical or dentist visit.

Is it worth it to pay for something that I can make myself?
Yup, we think so. Of course, you can always make your own stories from scratch. But you are here because you have at least one child. That means your to-do list is endless and you likely have no extra time for crafting stories (check out this article). We’ve done the heavy lifting by making beautiful and engaging Preppers so you can use your limited spare time to snuggle up and read them with your child.
Can I share my Preppers with others?
In short, please don't. Your purchase covers one license only.
