The Talkative Turtle: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids
About this episode
Join a talkative little turtle on a sky-high adventure with two friendly geese! “The Talkative Turtle” was inspired by a folktale from India. It's a fun story that shows kids the joy of talking—and the wisdom of knowing when to be quiet. Includes an interactive mindfulness game perfect for curious minds and family listening time.
Hey parents, here are 4 ways to Practice Listening at Bedtime:
1) Hide your head like a turtle with your child or help them to do it.
2) Point out things of the color mentioned with your child. This is a great grounding activity you can do anytime your child needs a reset.
3) Model breathing in and out through your nose for your child.
4) Listen quietly and see how many sounds you can name around you.
