[00:00:08.770]Hi everyone!
[00:00:09.620]So, I wanted to read a story with you today
[00:00:11.520]that gave some different strategies to help
[00:00:15.170]your toddler, preschooler, or infant calm down
[00:00:18.220]when they're feeling some very strong emotions
[00:00:20.360]and working through some challenging times.
[00:00:23.440]The book is called "Calm-Down Time"
[00:00:25.540]and it was written by Elizabeth Verdick.
[00:00:29.820]Sometimes I feel sad.
[00:00:32.470]Sometimes I feel mad.
[00:00:36.130]Sometimes I want to scream and shout.
[00:00:39.250]I want to get my feelings out.
[00:00:43.940]It's calm down time.
[00:00:45.460]I see you're upset.
[00:00:46.920]I'm here to help, so take a deep breath.
[00:00:50.576](takes deep breath)
[00:00:55.670]I can breathe in and out while I count to three.
[00:00:59.326](takes deep breath)
[00:01:02.070]One,
[00:01:03.081](takes deep breath)
[00:01:05.070]two,
[00:01:06.189](takes deep breath)
[00:01:08.920]three, I'm taking care of me.
[00:01:13.400]My calm-down place is my quiet place for me to take a break.
[00:01:21.220]I can cry to feel better.
[00:01:22.840]I might say, "Hug me please,"
[00:01:24.770]or "Hold me please."
[00:01:28.490]Or, I can put my arms around myself
[00:01:30.810]to give my body a squeeze.
[00:01:36.120]If I want to, I can rock back and forth
[00:01:38.245]or side to side and sing a quiet song.
[00:01:46.220]If I want to, I can talk.
[00:01:48.578]My words tell me how I feel.
[00:01:50.950]My words help me calm down.
[00:01:55.090]I breathe,
[00:01:55.941](takes deep breath)
[00:01:58.180]one,
[00:01:59.013](takes deep breath)
[00:02:01.260]two,
[00:02:02.093](takes deep breath)
[00:02:04.220]three, I'm taking care of me.
[00:02:08.920]After a break, I feel like new,
[00:02:11.500]and so can you!
[00:02:14.420]The end.
[00:02:15.850]So, I hope this book gave a few little ideas
[00:02:18.670]and tricks that can help you work through
[00:02:22.725]the challenging times and feeling strong emotions
[00:02:25.295]that your child may be going through
[00:02:28.441]to where you can get back
[00:02:29.990]to going to whatever activity you were working on.
[00:02:33.781]Thanks.
