What To Do When…

by Anu Wadhwani

What to Do When… is a gentle, story-based podcast that helps young children learn how to handle everyday situations — calmly, kindly, and with confidence. Through short, engaging stories and simple guidance, children learn practical life skills such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, empathy, and self-confidence. Designed especially for children aged 4–7, this audio-only kids podcast is perfect for screen-free listening during car rides, quiet time, or bedtime. Episodes use clear language, calm pacing, and positive storytelling to support social and emotional learning in a way young children can understand.
