Show notes

Britney Winn Lee is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate Good Night Body, Finding Calm From Head To Toe. Britney writes to build bridges and make space, bringing a little Southern hospitality to complex kiddos, social justice movements, and the spiritually-homesick.

This mindfulness practice will help children let go of the worries, stress, and excitement of the day as they reach their arms like a telescope, let their mouths hang like a hammock, dance their fingers like wind chimes, and listen to their hearts beat a reassuring cadence, "you're loved, you're loved."

Parenting Through Stories Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

Dr Sarah Katherine Mundy is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her Parenting Through Stories series of #ChildrensBooks. Dr Sarah is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and mother to three young boys. She tells us that over the past two decades, she has discovered a great deal about what helps (and hinders) family life, as well as ways to promote positive child development. After having her first child, Sarah read a number of parenting books and found they often told a parent what to "do" to their child rather than how to work "with" them to make things easier.What surprised her most was the lack of a story or a voice for the child within such books. Sarah knew the significance of storytelling socially, culturally and developmentally. She felt that having books to read with her children which explicitly asked about their own feelings and experiences would help parents and children navigate tricky times. From this came the birth of Bartley's Books and the wider Parenting Through Stories approach.
