Warm Fuzzy Wishes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/em><\/p>\n

Climb into bed. Take five deep breaths to calm our bodies.<\/p>\n

Explain to your child how kindness can send good vibes out into the world. And that it\u2019s important to send well wishes to those we love. Have your little one pick any two people they want. (Don\u2019t forget the family pet.)<\/p>\n

Instruct them to say out loud something they love about this person. Then, you will take turns sending a well wish out to the universe. You will need to guide your child at first.<\/p>\n

Warm Fuzzy Wishes Examples:<\/p>\n

\ue008 I hope Daddy gets home early tomorrow so he can have dinner with us<\/p>\n

\ue008 I will help Mummy to tidy up my room tomorrow<\/p>\n

\ue008 I will take Rocco the dog for a walk tomorrow<\/p>\n

\ue008 I hope my baby brother feels better tomorrow<\/p>\n

\ue008 I send a big kiss and cuddle to my friend Piper because I miss her.<\/p>\n

Breathing Buddies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch the teddy rise and fall as they breathe in and out. Do 5 to 10 rounds.<\/p>\n
