Cousin DeAnne, being a bit older, wants to watch the spooky movie The Zombie Ranger, but Penny feels anxious even watching the trailer!

But have no fear—T.A., Penny's magical teddy bear, is here to help Penny identify her feelings and introduce her to the 3-3-3 Rule, a simple SEL (social-emotional learning) tool for managing anxiety. This episode offers a relatable way for young children to learn about expressing emotions and finding their voice. Will Penny find the courage to share her feelings with DeAnne? It’s a heartwarming, funny, and just-spooky-enough adventure perfect for families!


Featuring special guests:

  • Seylah as Cousin DeAnne., bringing excitement and fun to this super fun episode.
  • Michael Mendez as The Zombie Ranger and Sarge
