The Little Penguin Who Didn't Want to Swim - A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

Little Penguin does not feel like swimming, so he flops on the ice and thinks very hard about not swimming. Papa Penguin shows him that even a tiny flipper flap, a sit-up, and one little waddle can be the start of something big. Before long it is waddle, flip flop, sliiiide, SPLASH — and Little Penguin discovers that swimming is fun; starting was the hard part. Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1.) Model the penguin flippers movement for your child. 2.) Do the freeze and melt activity with your child. 3.) Model the breathing activity. 4.) Say the affirmations with your child.
