Hey,
My name is Amy and I'm a mummy.
There's someone else very special here with me too.
My name is Maxie,
Nice to meet you.
Maxie is my little girl.
How old are you Maxie?
I'm four and a half and I love everybody listening to my meditations.
Sometimes Maxie gets a little scared of the dark and sometimes she has scary dreams.
She has big feelings,
Just like you do.
And I know how it feels when you feel sad,
Angry or scared.
And today we're going to talk about feeling scared.
That's right.
We all feel scared sometimes.
It's perfectly normal.
There are things we can do to make us feel better.
It's all right.
You can take a deep breath.
Before you go to sleep again so you don't feel scared or cuddle a teddy bear.
That's a great idea.
Why don't you snuggle your favourite teddy bear right now?
And we can all do some big breaths in and out together.
Maxi.
Can you guide us?
Take a deep breath in and do it out.
That feels better.
Let's do it again.
A deep breath in.
Out.
And again,
A deep breath in.
And out.
So relaxing.
Another thing that helps us feel better at night is thinking about all the things we love.
Maxi,
What sort of things could we imagine now?
Unicorns,
Toys,
And more.
Birthday cake,
Lollipop,
And more.
You love those things I just said and dream about them forever.
I love it.
So,
Let's really think about all those things now.
Such happy thoughts.
Imagine a unicorn.
So magical.
And colourful.
What would it feel like to hug one?
What would it feel like?
To ride one.
And imagine the unicorn takes you to the most incredible toy shop.
Filled with every toy you've ever wanted.
You'd never want to leave.
If you got hungry,
You could eat an enormous birthday cake.
What flavour would it be?
Strawberry?
Chocolate?
Or even rainbow flavor.
You can imagine anything tonight that makes you feel happy.
That was so nice.
Shall we do it again in a minute?
Maxie,
What are you going to imagine this time?
A fairy magics me into a frog.
A frog?
Yeah.
What will you do when you're a frog?
I'd jump around eating flies.
That's really silly,
Maxie.
Yeah.
OK,
So now it's your turn to imagine anything you want.
Go wherever you want to go.
Close your eyes.
If they're not closed already.
And let your bed.
Take you there.
Sleep well.
I hope you feel better.
Bye bye.
