Incredible news!

Netflix has launched a podcast called “Bedtime Stories with Netflix Jr.”! The idea is simple: a series of 10 to 15-minute long audio bedtime stories, featuring characters from popular Netflix kids’ shows, made to help kids drift off to sleep at bedtime.

And we're delighted to see both Ada Twist, Scientist and Ridley Jones featuring amongst the soothing selection!

Dr. Tina Bryson, childhood development expert and co-author of The Whole-Brain Child, helped develop each episode with the goal of assisting parents with a bedtime routine for their children — one that will not only help kids successfully transition gently to sleep, but also with building skills to navigate the world.

While bedtime can normally be stressful for both parents and children, this podcast series aims to make it “a great part of the day,” Dr. Bryson says.

“I love how these episodes intentionally balance familiarity (with the child’s beloved characters) and novelty (with a new, but not-too-exciting story of adventure that allows kids to learn something). I found this project meaningful, knowing it will help parents and kids daily in an immediate, practical way, while also giving kids experiences that build skills, empower them, and help them learn about themselves and the world.”
