About this episode

Piggy’s Big Plan is a playful bedtime story that teaches children how to handle disappointment and adapt to changes.

Piggy’s Big Plan is a playful, sing-along bedtime story that helps children learn how to handle disappointment when plans fall apart. When a mud puddle disappears on a hot day, Piggy and her animal friends have to make a “Plan B”. Perfect for parents looking for calming, screen-free bedtime stories that model resilience, flexibility, and healthy coping skills for kids. Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1) Whisper, "That's a mad cloud," and point to it like it's floating away. 2) Model the big belly breath for your child. 3) Use your fingers to show 1, 2, 3 with the breath. 4) During the dream and wish gently draw circles on your child's palm with your finger.
