Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleep Tight Relax, a calming bedtime show for the young and young at heart.

Our story takes place in a small town on Prince Edward Island, where young Liam, a boy with

lots of energy and a love for hockey, faced his fears and learned valuable lessons about

calming his mind.

One Sunday, after a long day of playing outside with his father and their dogs,

Liam struggled to get to sleep, his mind buzzing with worries about school and the dark.

His mother gently guides him through his fears, and he has the best rest ever,

even without relying on his lucky, stinky socks.

Before we listen to our story,

let's get cozy and comfortable and spend some time getting relaxed.

Let's go on a breathing adventure.

Close your eyes and imagine you're in a magical forest.

It's fall and the animals are busy preparing for the winter, like in Canada.

Now, take a deep breath through your nose as if you're smelling the fresh, pine-scented air of the forest.

Count to three in your head.

One, two, three.

Feel your belly rise like a balloon inflating.

Hold your breath for a couple of counts. Now exhale slowly through your mouth as

if blowing the leaves off a tree. Wush! Watch them dance in the wind. Breathe in, one, two, three. Hold, one, two, and breathe out. One, two, three. Do this a few more

times, each time feeling more and more relaxed,

like you're sinking into a soft bed of crinkly leaves.

Keeping your eyes closed, imagine you're walking through this magical forest. The ground is soft under your feet like a fluffy carpet.
