Axolotl's Big Smile - A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

What if always saying "okay" is the very thing keeping you from finding your real friends? Join Axy, the always-smiling axolotl, as she discovers that telling people what you really like can feel scary... but it can also lead to the best friendships you've ever had. This is a story every child needs before they start believing they have to make everyone else happy to be loved. Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1.) Show your child a picture of an axolotl. 2.) Model the movement suggestion. 3.) Breathe slowly next to your child so they can hear your breath. 4.) Sigh at the end a take a moment to give your child a nice slow hug.
