The Little Engine That Could: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids
About this episode
All aboard for a rhythmic adventure in this retelling of The Little Engine That Could. When bigger engines say no, a small blue engine says, "I think I can," and proves that even the littlest of voices can make a big difference. Wooo! Wooo!
Parents, here are 4 ways to practice positive self-talk at bedtime:
1) Model positive self-talk by saying something complimentary about yourself and encourage your child to do the same.
2) Model the sign language sign for "train" for your child.
3) Chant "I think I can!" as the train climbs up your arm.
4) Breathe like a train along with your child.
