Soothing Snuggler™

Dr. Erica Gergely developed the Soothing Snuggler to address children's social-emotional needs. This talking, teaching teddy bear ends meltdowns, reduces anxiety, and improves self-regulation.

Hi, I'm Dr. Erica Gergely.

As a mother and a clinical psychologist, I noticed that too many toys emphasized academic over social-emotional learning. Even my own son struggled with overwhelming emotions as a toddler.

So, I created the Soothing Snuggler. With the push of a paw, the Soothing Snuggler will guide your little one through breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and conversations to regulate their emotions.

  • Samantha B.

    "OMG This is brilliant!!! I have a 6 year old who is ADHD combined and Sensory Processing Disorder. This is legitimately all the things we do to regulate him..."

  • Katie B.

    "My 5yr old son loves his Soothing Snuggler! It was a big help while transitioning from Christmas vacation back to a school schedule. He even took it to school the first few days back to help during naptime. He is very emotional, and the Soothing Snuggler helps him calm down almost immediately. I highly recommend it!"

  • Ciera M.

    "I originally thought to buy one of these bears for a 2 1/2 year old who has big feelings on his own, but also feeds off the emotions around him. I also got one for our (sensitive) 6 year old, because I knew he wouldn't want to feel left out. In the past several weeks both of my boys have grown very attached to the Soothing Snuggler. They have become their bestie that accompanies them through each day - the good and bad. Even if our bear isn't near, our kids follow the relatable prompts of how to breathe to feel more calm. Sniff a flower and blow up a balloon!"
