Speaker 1: What do you do when you're in bed but you
Speaker 1: still can't fall asleep. Maybe you've got the wiggles, or
Speaker 1: you're thinking about something that happened.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Lingo.
Speaker 1: Listen, subscribe or follow us so you never miss one
Speaker 1: of our episodes. The Lingo Kids friends each have a
Speaker 1: special way.
Speaker 2: To go to sleep.
Speaker 1: Do you have a stuffed animal or a special blanket
Speaker 1: you like to hold when you're getting ready for bed.
Speaker 1: If you have one nearby, you can hold it while
Speaker 1: you listen. Let's start with Elliott's sleepy time routine. When
Speaker 1: I'm going to sleep, all toward tend a line on
Speaker 1: a sandy beach.
Speaker 2: Let's try that with Elliot.
Speaker 1: First, he lets his body get heavy on the sand,
Speaker 1: his head, his arms, his whole body all the way
Speaker 1: down to his feet. Let's wiggle our toes a little
Speaker 1: bit to get the energy out.
Speaker 2: There. Now, imagine the warm sun on your face.
Speaker 1: Can you feel it? Elliott likes the sound of seagulls too.
Speaker 1: What other sounds do we hear at the beach? Right?
Speaker 2: The sound of waves.
Speaker 1: Imagining this sound really helps Eliot relax for sleep, Right, Elliot,
Speaker 1: good night, each good night, seagulls, Good night, waves.
Speaker 2: Good night Elliott. Let's ask Lisa what she likes to
Speaker 2: do every night before I fall asleep. I do the
Speaker 2: starfish hand meditation. Try it with me.
Speaker 1: Okay, first we'll close our eyes and take a deep breath.
Speaker 1: Now take one hand and spread your fingers out like
Speaker 1: a starfish. Place your pointer finger from the other hand
Speaker 1: on the outside of your starfish thumb. Trace up one
Speaker 1: side of your thumb and down the other side. Now
Speaker 1: up your pointer finger back down, not too fast. Keep
Speaker 1: going until you have done all five fingers on your
Speaker 1: starfish hand. You can do this a few times, or
Speaker 1: switch hands. It's a great trick for relaxing before a
Speaker 1: long night of good dreams, or any other time. Good
Speaker 1: Night hands, good night starfish, good night fingers, good night thumbs,
Speaker 1: Good night Lisa.
Speaker 2: I hear Billy.
Speaker 1: When Billy is in bed after baby Bot has gone
Speaker 1: to sleep, he likes to imagine a sky full of stars.
Speaker 1: He imagines that he's in his rocket flying slowly.
Speaker 2: Above the earth. Let's go with him.
Speaker 1: We'll do a nice slow blast off blaststar. We're high
Speaker 1: up in the sky. Can you imagine all the twinkling
Speaker 1: stars twin twin star as we fly through the night sky.
Speaker 1: Let's count five stars together. Ready, one, two, three, four, five,
Speaker 1: five twinkling stars. Now, let's bring the rocket back down
Speaker 1: to Earth. Good night Rocket, good Night, night time Sky,
Speaker 1: good night stars, good night Billy. Let's see who is
Speaker 1: still awake around here.
Speaker 2: Me I'm awake. Oh, of course Cowie is still awake. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's time for my special sleepy time routine with
Speaker 2: Debbie Dinosaur.
Speaker 1: Debbie is Cowie's favorite stuffed animal.
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite?
Speaker 1: You can try this with your favorite stuffed animal, or
Speaker 1: just pretend. First, put your finger on the belly of
Speaker 1: your stuffed animal and give a.
Speaker 2: Soft little poke.
Speaker 1: Now, trace a circle all around that bell. Don't worry,
Speaker 1: they're usually not so ticklish. Give your animal a nice
Speaker 1: long hug and kiss them on their head. Now hold
Speaker 1: your animal to your chest again, close your eyes and
Speaker 1: dream of all the adventures you'll have together, adventures. Good Night,
Speaker 1: Debbie Dinosaur, good night Adventures. Good night Cowie, and good
Speaker 1: night all the lingo listeners out there. We hope you
