About this episode

A calming bedtime story about a lion captain who relaxes after winning the World Cup.

Join a brave little lion captain as he plays the final match of the World Cup for his national football team. After scoring the winning goal and lifting the heavy golden trophy, the excitement of the day completely fades away. Listen as we follow the lion's incredibly slow, deliberate steps into the quiet locker room. He slowly takes off his heavy, muddy football boots, removes his tight shin guards, and takes a soothing warm shower. By focusing on the feeling of relief, physical relaxation, and heavy muscles, this audio journey naturally down-regulates your school-aged child’s active mind. It is a wonderfully engaging way to guide energetic kids into a deep, restorative sleep. ⚽🦁💤✨ Want to read this calming tale together?
