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.
