  • Velcro Kitten - A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids
    2026/09/28
    Little Kitten loves yarn, sunshine, and naps—but most of all, she loves Mama Cat and does not want her to leave. When Little Kitten worries Mama might never come back, Mama teaches her a song and ties a string around her paw to remind her they are always connected. A sweet, funny story about separation anxiety, big feelings, and learning that love keeps us “tied at the heart.” Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1.) Draw the string in the air from your child's heart to yours. 2.) Put your hand on your heart. 3.) Model how your belly moves with breath but your hand on heart doesn't. 4.) At the end make the gesture of your hearts being connected again.

    2026/08/31
    Frog loves to boing and bounce, and Snake loves to ssslow down and be still—and when they try to play each other’s way, it’s kind of a hilarious disaster.
