Luis Amador and brothers Christopher and Michael Rodriguez are the faces and creators of “Big Feelings Little Friends," an emotional learning show for preschoolers where they bring the characters Mr. Ziggy, Mr. Ollie, and Mr. Buddy to life.
The three therapists used their expertise in social work to create the show right from a Suffolk County garage.
Inspired by child hood favorites, each episode is designed to feel like a therapy session where the child participates as a therapist with the help of three important puppeteer characters -- Max, Lily, and Benny.
With pride, they infuse their Latin roots, so rhythm and language play a big role in their coping techniques.
The digital show explores emotions and how to validate one's feelings, catered for both the parent and the child.
Their latest episode can be found on YouTube, in which they explore feelings of curiosity.
