Baby Jack and the Haunted House - A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

From the podcast Wink: Stories for Better Bedtimes

·14:30
Before Jack ever climbed the beanstalk, he was a brave little baby who faced a haunted house, a furry monster, and one very bouncy “ball.” Baby Jack vs. Monster is a funny, not-too-scary story that helps children see how imagination can turn something frightening into something silly. With giggles, courage, and calming box breathing, this story gives kids a playful way to feel brave when scary thoughts come knocking. Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1.) Talk about what you imagine together. 2.) Talk about how the picture changes. 3.) Model drawing a box in the air. 4.) Model tracing the box as you breathe with your child.
