A Tender and Reassuring Discussion Starter on Death

People grieve differently, and children grieve differently than adults. It's immeasurably valuable to help children express themselves when they lose someone they love. It’s also important to help children understand that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. 

This gentle and thoughtful cartoon is designed to encourage thinking and discussions about the different ways people deal with grief and loss.  Rocketoons Episode 12: It Is Written In The Stars - Dealing with the Death of a Loved One can help you guide your kids in discussions about grieving, missing the ones you love, and the different ways people express their sadness.
When someone you love dies, your world changes. We each deal with loss – and the changes - differently, but it’s important to know what is on the path ahead for nearly all of us who grieve. It’s even more important to remember that friends, family, and professional help are there when you need it – and as often as you need it.

Our three friends, Quinn, Cameron, and Olivia, are dealing with their own grief, but they soon discover they have more in common with one another than they knew.

Helpful Sleeping Tips for a Healthy Family

Children need more sleep than adults. Sleep supports their rapid development - both physical and mental. It can be hard to tell if your child is getting enough sleep because tired children don’t slow down the same way adults do. Sometimes they wind up. You may have experienced the hyperactivity associated with overly tired kids. It often looks like ADHD.

Certain conditions may affect a child’s ability to sleep. Always check with your pediatrician if you suspect your child is not getting enough sleep.

How much is enough?

Every child is unique and different, but the table below is an excellent guideline to reference:
  • 0-3 months - 14 to 17 hours
  • 4-11 months - 12 to 15 hours
  • 1-2 years - 11 to 14 hours
  • 3-5 years - 10 to 13 hours
  • 6-13 years - 9 to 11 hours
  • 14-17 years - 8 to 10 hours
  • 18 to 25 years - 7 to 9 hours

Here are a few tips we found from HealthyChildren.org - a site from the American Academy of Pediatrics - to help establish good sleeping habits:

Rescuing Childhood and Making Sure Every Kid is Safe, Secure, and Silly

Wheeler Creative Studios has underwritten and designed a fifteen-episode series of cartoons designed to help children identify and talk about stressful situations or issues in their lives. When kids can speak up about what stresses them out, teachers, psychologists, parents, and caregivers can readily identify the kids in need of intervention. The mission of Rocketoons is to rescue childhood and make sure every kid is safe, secure, and silly.  

This month on the blog, we’ll be outlining each episode to help you understand what these cartoons are all about. Starting with this short video that explains our vision, our mission, and also - what the kids think about Rocketoons!

Rocketoons are cartoon-based conversation kits designed to give teachers maximum instructional flexibility with minimal interference from time-consuming preparation.

​Rocketoons are pedagogically sound primers for facilitating important discussions in the 21st-century classroom.
Rocketoons are developed by teachers and counselors, and they are used by teachers and counselors – in the classroom, in one on one sessions, or wherever there is a need to share sound information and stimulate meaningful conversation.
If you have four or five minutes, you can use Rocketoons with your kids.
If you want/need to develop an in-depth module on bullying, divorce, social media, or a variety of other timely topics that cause stress and disruption in the lives of your students, you can use Rocketoons.

If you want to make a point, share a laugh, or both, you can use Rocketoons.

From one kid to the next, from one teacher to the next, different Rocketoons mean different things. In the hands of caring and qualified teachers, that’s the way it should be. Nobody knows your kids like you do. Hopefully, Rocketoons can be exactly what you need them to be so you can be exactly what your students need you to be.
