Show Notes
Penelope the Porcupine is a heartwarming story about a young porcupine named Penelope who becomes afraid of her prickly quills after one pokes her during a fall. She decides she wants to be "prickle-free" and asks her friends—Rabbit, Bear, and Fox—for help in removing them.
Hey parents, here are 4 reassuring ways to explore worry at bedtime:
1) Get close to your child when practicing the deep breathing so they can feel and hear what deep breathing feels and sounds like.
2) Say the affirmations with your child.
3) Squeeze your muscles with your child when prompted.
4) Relax you muscles when prompted and sigh with your child.
