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

In this story, we are going to meet a boy named Jacks, who has moved to a new home.

Jacks misses his friends and the activities they used to do.

In this new neighborhood, Jacks sees lots of his neighborhood kids with their fancy gadgets, shiny bikes, and cell phones,

and wishes he could have those too. Maybe he'd fit in better then.

Before we listen to our story, let's get cozy and comfortable and spend some time getting

relaxed.

If you are lying in your bed, you can close your eyes and think about the people in your family.

Feel your pillow under your head, soft and supportive.

Let your body sink into your bed,

like a leaf floating gently down to rest on a calm lake.

As we are taking some deep breaths,

I'd like you to think about all the ways that your family helps you each day.

Now let's take some deep, slow breaths to help us relax.

Imagine you have a balloon in your belly.

When you breathe in, fill the balloon with air, slowly and gently.

Breathe in through your nose for a count of four.

One, two, three, four, and watch your balloon grow.

Hold your breath for a moment, and now let the air out of the balloon through your mouth slowly. For a count of four, one, two, three, four. Feel your balloon getting

smaller. Can you think of two things that your family does for you?

On your next deep breath, think about your friends.

What are some things that they do for you or help you with? Take another deep, slow breath
