    Hey parents, here are 4 reassuring ways to explore worry at bedtime:

    1) Get close to your child when practicing the deep breathing so they can feel and hear what deep breathing feels and sounds like.

    2) Say the affirmations with your child.

    3) Squeeze your muscles with your child when prompted.

    4) Relax you muscles when prompted and sigh with your child.
