Hey parents, here are 4 ways to Build Connection at Bedtime:

1) Draw with your child and imagine having pink or blue skin or horns or something different than you have.

2) Stomp your feet and shake your hands as you model the monster dance for your child.

3) Make a plan to go to a place you've never been in search of new friends.

4) Model the horn breathing for your child.
