Did You Know?
Tedology Was Born from Real-World Experience
Meet The Maker
Helping little minds, and those who support them, navigate big feelings.
Tedology was developed by Dr Louise Mansell, a Clinical Child Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience. Tedology is designed to help children talk about emotions and understand how to manage them through everyday playful moments.
At the heart of the Tedology Wellbeing Kit is a multi-sensory teddy bear, with sensory tags, a lightly weighted body, fidget paws to support focus, a crinkle ear, and a press-button voice box that gently guides children through 10 playful evidence-informed activities that help them learn how to calm, name emotions and manage big feelings. Each kit also includes a workbook, feelings card, and supportive guidance for adults to help make children’s emotional development effective, easy and part of everyday moments.
