A Beach in the Bedroom

Shamik just can't get to sleep. He feels all tight and tense. Thankfully, Kip has just the trick to help him relax. A beach that Shamik can build in his bedroom. Worry can be a big problem when it comes to getting to sleep. Especially as your child gets older. But relaxation techniques and visualisation can help take their minds off these worries. This story can help get them started as they imagine they are lying on the beach, with the sound of waves lapping the shore and a warm breeze passing over them. Follow Kip as he takes Shamik on a fun adventure to learn that he can calm himself at bedtime. This is a technique best suited to children aged four years and up, and best used at a time other than bedtime to start with. We don't want them getting worried about the technique working, which can happen if they start learning it at bedtime. Start perhaps on the floor of the bedroom in the afternoon. When this technique works, you'll find children start to use it naturally before bedtime.
