    That's Not Mama!: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

    Listened

    A mama duck and her ducklings live happily by a pond, but a storm blows the ducklings into far-away reeds where they feel scared and lost. When we're alone, our thoughts and worries can feel loud, but what sounds can we hear around us that say we are never so very alone?

    PARENT TIPS: Here are 4 calming ways to reassure your little one during the story: 1) Hold you little one while they are laying on their beds. 2) Get close and breathe with your little one so they can experience how deep breathing rhythm feels and sounds like. 3) Repeat the affirmations with your child. 4) Try singing a song to your child when the episode is over.
