Snatchasaurus keeps grabbing things he likes—lollipops, swings, brownies, even his teacher’s mustache—without thinking, leaving his classmates upset and confused. When his teacher explains that sometimes hands are faster than brains, Snatchasaurus realizes he’s been snatching without meaning to and learns a song to help him stop and think. Later, when he wants to grab a ball, he pauses, counts to three, and asks to join the game instead—proving he can change.

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

1) Model the breathing technique for your child.

2) Use your fingers to show 1, 2, 3.

3) Trace your fingers and breathe as you trace.

4) Repeat the phrases with your child.
