    Mommy vs Monster
    May 12 2025
    Every night, a boy and his 32 stuffed animals have a visitor come by--a scary one that wants to eat them! Monsters can feel real and our fears feel like they can get bigger and bigger. But there are loved ones who will stay with us and we can face them together. And who knows, maybe our monsters are ticklish, too! Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the story: 1) Say, "Hello fear, I see you. It's okay that you are here" when prompted by Steffani. 2) Pretend to blow up a balloon and tie off the fears inside with your child. 3)Let go of the balloon and model imagining it float into the sky as prompted. 4) Give your child a reassuring hug.

  • Dig, Dig, Dig It Up!

    Dig, Dig, Dig It Up!
    May 5 2025
    When a young boy finds a potato bigger than him, even bigger than a house, who can he ask to help him dig it out? We all have tasks just a little too big to take on by ourselves, but it's a strong thing to ask for help and a strong thing to give it. Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the episode: 1) When your child is prompted to pretend to be a carrot seed encourage them to climb deep into their covers. When they grow, have them make their body longer on their bed instead of standing up. 2) When your child is prompted to imagine the color orange you could point to something in the room that is orange or have something orange available for them to look at. 3) You can show your child what a belly breath looks like by modeling it for them. 4) When your child is prompted to say the affirmations say them with your child and feel free to follow them up by telling your child something important they bring to your family or something they did that day to make your family a better place.

    The Big Scary Voice
    Apr 28 2025
    When a little caterpillar climbs into Rabbit's hole one day, his friendly voice and silly pranks sound loud and scary from outside. In life, big noises and big feelings are real, but there are loved ones, a deep breath, and even laughter to help us explore them. Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the story: 1) Make your voice sound like a tiny caterpillar and a scary monster. 2) Get close and breathe with your little one so they can experience how deep breathing rhythms feel and sound like. 3) Pretend to blow bubbles with your child. 4) Repeat the mantra "This feeling of anger won't last. It will go away, and I love you." For more bedtime connection tips, visit Wink on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
