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

1) Hold your fingers up like ten candles on a birthday cake, when your child blows fold one finger down for each blow.

2) Model breathing deeply for your child.

3) Pretend to draw in the air together when your child is imagining their feelings.

4) Give your child a hug after blowing out all 10 candles at once.
