  • The Belly Button Monster

    The Belly Button Monster
    Jun 2 2025
    Monsters can be scary, but Jimmy knows the silliest monster of all--the Belly Button Monster! When he wakes up one morning to see his belly button has gone missing, Jimmy has some problem-solving to do. Sometimes other people, and even ourselves, can leave us upset, but all sorts of problems can be faced when we make room for calm. Connection Tips: Parents, here are 4 Playful Ways to Think Through Emotions at Bedtime: 1) What are all the ways you can show "happy" in your face and body? 2) What are all the ways you can show "frustrated" in your face and body? 3) Relax your face and body when you and your child let go of the emotion, 4) Get close and breathe with your little one so they can experience what deep breathing feels and sounds like when following the breathing cues. Credits: Wink is a production of BYUradio. Host: Steffani Raff. Producers: Wendy Folsom, Sam Payne, Brian Tanner and Kira VanDam. Post by Trent Reimschussel, DJ Cromarty, Kip Merrill, Finn Morrison.

  • Moon Child

    Moon Child
    May 26 2025
    Laying outside under the night sky, three young children find 1, 2, 3 animals in the dark by connecting the bright stars. But hard as he tries, the fourth little one can't see the pictures!--until the Moon Child and her paintbrush visit to help him make his own. There are magical things to be found when we try new things. Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the story: 1) Listen as your child whispers something happy that has happened to them when prompted, and help them come up with an idea, if needed. 2) Whisper to your child something specific about them that makes you happy when it’s your turn. 3) Make the motions of DAB DAB DAB and SWISH SWISH SWISH towards the ceiling to make your child’s happy moment come to life just like the Moon Child. 4) Tap, tap, tap your fingers gently on the child’s toes, legs, tummy and arms when the silver sprinkles fall from the sky.
