Description

Some days feel busy, full of sounds, movement, and excitement, and that can feel like a lot.

This calming story helps children slow down, listen to their bodies, and find the quiet space that’s always waiting inside.

This episode helps toddlers and preschoolers:

  • Recognize what “busy” feels like in their body and mind
  • Practice slowing down with soft cues that help their body settle
  • Learn that it’s okay to take space and rest when they need to
  • Build self-regulation and emotional safety through calming affirmations

Whether said out loud or quietly in their hearts, these affirmations help children feel grounded, loved, and safe anytime they need it.
