The Monster Surprise - A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

Blurtle and Gorpington are two heads of one monster, but Blurtle can’t stop blurting out every single thought that pops into his head, which drives Gorpington crazy. When their class plans a surprise birthday party, Blurtle tries really hard to keep the secret—but ends up ruining it anyway. In the end, he realizes his words can hurt people, apologizes, and keeps practicing how to think before he speaks. Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1.) Be playful about imagining a thought and not sharing it. 2.) Practice the breathing technique with your child. 3.) Say the affirmations with your child in a "monster" voice 4.) Give your child a "monster" hug For more bedtime connection tips, visit Wink on Youtube, Instagram or Facebook. @ wink-bedtime-stories or on our Substack - Parenting with Wink: Bedtime Stories and Beyond. https://winkbedtimestories.substack.com/publish/post/190425474?back=%2Fpublish%2Fposts%2Fdrafts Wink is a production of BYUradio and is always ad and interruption free.
