WDYM’s line of emotional support plushies is all about providing kids with the necessary tools to become well-rounded people when they grow up. The brand has been known for a variety of emotional-centric products for children, including the Emotional Support Fries and the MoodMellow Color-Changing Squishable Mood Light. Now, WDYM is launching a new addition to its range of emotional support plushies called the Ouch & Oops Plush. Retailing for $14.99, this offering strives to teach kids—and sometimes adults too—how to apologize and how to accept an apology, as well. It is a great toy for kids who may struggle with important social-emotional development skills. One can hand out the "Ouch" toy when they've been wronged and the "Oops" when they have made the mistake.
