    Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together:

    1) Model slow, pushups against the wall or on the bed for your child.

    2) Pretend to put 10 round coconuts on your child's chest for the breathing exercise.

    3) Model the belly breathing for your child.

    4) Say the mantras with your child.
