Peace Out Presents: Big Bad Goes Back To School: Overcoming New School Year Anxiety

I'm excited to share an episode from one of my podcast friends, Dorktales Storytime Podcast! This is the perfect story right now because it's all about going back to school and the worries that might come up during this time. Enjoy and keep your ears open for a familiar voice! :) BIG BAD GOES BACK TO SCHOOL Dorktales Podcast: Episode 74 Big Bad Goes Back To School Overcoming New School Year Anxiety A new school year has begun, and Big Bad Wolf is experiencing back-to-school jitters. He’s worried his wolf classmates will continue to make fun of him over his embarrassing incident during last year’s howl-at-the-moon final exam. Enter his Folktale Forest friends, including Serena the Capybara. They talk him through his new class nerves and guide him back to his calm, cool and collected canine self—sending him off with the confidence he needs to become a Master Howler! PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: As back-to-school season approaches, it’s not uncommon for young minds to be filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. In Big Bad goes Back to School, these worries take center stage, only to be met with empathy and understanding. The lessons that emerge from this story provide comfort, encouragement, and tools for navigating the overwhelming feelings that can happen when a new school year begins. The episode includes two guided mindfulness exercises. Read more about the 5 social-emotional lessons kids will take away after listening to the episode. If you liked this story with Big Bad and Serena the caring capybara, you may also enjoy episode 49, Big Bad’s Big Feelings, where you’ll discover more mindfulness exercises to help kids self-regulate their anxious feelings.

S6 E6: Kaala and Chuff Learn About FUN!

What’s friendship without a little FUN? Chuff helps her friends out today by getting them to relax and have fun together. In this episode, we play a game I call “Sound Story.” You’ll hear these sound effects: rain, birds, bubbles, ice cream truck, friendly robot, children laughing, twinkling, and a “boing” sound. How to play “Sound Story”: You can find some free audio sound effect files here and here. It would be fun to make your own sound effects (tapping your knees, rubbing hands together, crinkling paper, etc.). Make or play a few sound effects. Fewer sounds for younger children, add more sounds for older children. The listener can close their eyes and listen to the sounds. Repeat them in the same order if they want to hear them again. Ask the listener to tell you a story based on the sounds they just heard. Switch and let them choose some sounds for you to use to create your own Sound Story! 😊 Please note: If you are doing this with your class, be mindful that children who have experienced trauma may be hypersensitive to sounds. For this episode I tried to choose “friendly” and neutral sounds and have listed them above to give listeners a heads up of what to expect. This may be something to consider for this game.

Holiday Bonus Episode: The Snowball

Hello everyone! We usually post a new episode every other week but this week I thought I’d share a holiday story that I wrote that was shared on the Story Time podcast. It’s about a boy named Henry who is having a tough time in a new neighbourhood…but things start to change once he starts making the biggest snowball of his life! It’s read by my friend Rob Griffiths. If you like this or want to hear more bedtime stories, go over to bedtime.fm or find Story Time on Apple Podcasts. They have a lot of great stories that I think you’ll really love! And you might hear me reading a couple of them! But for now, I hope you enjoy my little story called The Snowball. Happy holidays! Peace out and peace within, Chanel

Peace Out LIVE! Upcoming Events

Hi, this is Chanel Tsang from Peace Out Podcast. Peace Out is on a break, but I want to invite you to join me for one of Peace Out’s first LIVE events! We’ll do the Calm Down Countdown and chill out with a relaxation story together! Festival of Giving (October 24, 2020) On Saturday, October 24th, 2020, I’ll be at Doing Good Together’s Festival of Giving. This fun event will have different kindness activities, service projects that you can do as a family, read-aloud story time, singing and dancing, and more! The event is free and online this year so anyone can join the fun! I’ll be at the opening event at 10:00 a.m. Central on Zoom, guiding kids and families in a Loving Kindness Yoga session. We’ll do a relaxation story together, just like on the podcast, and then end with a Loving Kindness practice, like the one we did in our Mycelium Mindfulness episode! Register for this event at Doing Good Together’s website. Family Yoga Day! (November 7, 2020) I’ll be doing a live Peace Out relaxation story on Saturday, November 7th at 11:30 a.m. EST. I’m partnering with my friend Michelle at Parivartan Yoga for a really awesome family yoga day on Zoom! First, we’ll get together to do a Peace Out story. Then, I’ll have a special fun activity just for kids to do while the grown-ups do a yoga class with Michelle (and of course if you want to do the yoga class too, you can!). Then at the end we’ll all come back together and share our activities as a group! This event is by donation and all proceeds will go to one of the food banks near us so we can support our neighbours who might need some extra help right now. Register in advance for this meeting here! After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. I hope I can see you at one of these fun events! I’m so excited to bring Peace Out to you live and get to see your faces and do the breathing exercises together, even though we might live far apart. For more information, se...

A Cloud of Cicadas

We’re going underground today to learn more about the life cycle of cicadas! These incredible insects live underground for 17 years before emerging altogether—all 1.5 million of them! During the first breathing exercise called Backbone Breathing (our kid-friendly version of yogic spinal breathing), we are going to breathe in to fill up our “tummy tanks” and make an imaginary car drive up our spine, or backbone, and breathe out to go back down the backbone road. The goal is to pay more attention to the spine because it helps us breathe better (especially when we fill up our “tummy tank”) and improves our posture, so our chest and shoulders are more open, allowing us to breathe in and out more deeply. If you are listening with someone else, you can take turns: one person follows along with the directions and breathe while the other traces their spine, paying attention to when they are breathing in (up) and breathing out (down). Rewind the episode to switch and take turns doing the breathing exercise! Please subscribe to Peace Out so you don’t miss an episode and leave us a review and five stars if you like what you hear! This will help other kids and families find us and then find their calm too! Thank you! Today’s Themes Scientific (curriculum connections): insects, cicadas, defence mechanisms, prime numbers, Social-emotional connections: patience, practice, different types of intelligence Resources Cicadas (National Geographic) 10 scintillating facts about cicadas (CBC) Amazing Cicada Life Cycle (Sir David Attenborough’s Life in the Undergrowth) on YouTube (About 5 min.) 17 Year Periodical Cicadas (Planet Earth, BBC Earth) on YouTube (About 4 min., better for older children) Why Are Cicadas So Good at Math?

Today we’re going on a field trip today! Activate those imaginations and get ready to spend some time outdoors in the park as we practice mindfulness together. We miss being outdoors with our family, friends, and other people so we designed this episode to feel and sound like we’re really outside in a park together. It is a great episode to listen to with headphones to get the full experience! We talk about a mindfulness meditation analogy that was adapted from the well-known bird and ship analogy by renowned Tibetan Buddhist Lama Gelek Rimpoche. Stay well and take care, everyone.

Howdy, Partner: Seahorse Life

Seahorses are seriously interesting creatures! Learn more about these fish as we breathe, move, and relax together. A core part of Peace Out is social-emotional learning. Today we talk about how we can check in with our family and friends during this challenging time. We also introduce Alternate Nostril Breathing, a pranayama (yogic breathing) practice that has a lot of benefits. As we are explaining it over audio only here, we will do a simplified version of the hand movement to keep things simple. I hope I’ve explained it clearly in the episode, but you may want to take a look at our resources to get the visual explanation of the concept. If you and your children are interested, I’ve included a couple of YouTube video links showing the proper hand movement and also another simpler version for kids. Before you listen, it might be a good idea to make sure there are no stuffy noses and wash hands as we will be touching our face during this exercise. Then wash hands afterwards too. 🙂 Stay well and take care, everyone.

Time to Pause: Friday

It’s the end of the week so it’s time to relaaax! Today we’re going to do a top to toes relaxation exercise. Mindfulness Activity: We are focusing on relaxing our bodies today but it’s also important to keep active and moving. If you can’t get outside to play in the fresh air and sunshine, you can still play some fun movement games in the house. Here are a few ideas (just be careful of the things and people around you): Walk up and down the stairs 5 times (try doing this in different ways: slow motion, fast without stamping, skipping one step, backwards while holding the railing)Play sports with a beach ball or balloon. You can kick it around, try to keep it in the air, play volleyball, or aim in into a basket. Do yoga! Find some kids’ yoga videos or cards to stretch and move and balance. Yoga poses can help build your muscles, improve your coordination and balance (which is great for sports), and keep your body AND your brain active! Take a long string or ball of yarn and make a path around the room. Balance as you walk along the line. You can make straight and curvy lines! Try walking backwards too. Follow the leader. The leader crosses the room in any way except walking while the other person copies their movement. Take turns being the leader. Hope that’s enough to get you started! If you think of other fun and safe movement games to play indoors, please share it with us on Twitter (@peaceoutpodcast), Instagram (@peaceoutstories), or on the Bedtime FM Facebook page! We’d love to see how you’re keeping active! Subscribe to Peace Out on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app. You can also listen at peaceoutpodcast.com.

Time to Pause: Tuesday

It’s all about the senses today as we do a simple grounding exercise. This good for those who experience anxiety or are having anxious thoughts. NOTE: We will explore the sense of taste and smell, so it may be helpful to have a piece of fruit or veggie stick ready! Mindfulness Activity: Go outside for a sensory walk! Choose one of your senses to focus on during different parts of your walk (what can you see, hear, smell, touch right now?). You can try this listening game outside: find a safe place to stop, close your eyes, and focus on the sounds you are hearing. Put up your fist and then one finger for each sound you hear until your whole hand is open. Share what sounds you heard and see if someone heard different sounds. ** Remember to stay 6 feet / 2 metres (or 3 kids' arm length) distance away from other people on your walk. Maybe you can bring along some more fruit and veggies to snack on after your walk! Subscribe to Peace Out on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app. You can also listen at peaceoutpodcast.com.

Time to Pause: Introduction

Many countries are closing schools in response to the coronavirus, which means students are home for awhile. Things are confusing and changing everyday, so now it’s more important than ever to take time out of our days to pause so we can rest, recharge, and go back to life with a clear and calm mind. So we’ve recorded five mini episodes (one for every weekday) that can be listened to at the beginning or any point of your day to help build mindfulness into your child’s routine. We’re calling them “Time to Pause”. You can create a routine and healthy habits by listening to them again on the designated day of the week. And remember: Social distancing doesn’t mean emotional distancing. Kids and parents and family can listen to the Time to Pause episodes together, they’re only a couple minutes long! We even add an activity that you can do after the episode is over, most are ways to express kindness to others, something that I really think is needed at this time. Peace Out is part of KidsListen, which has put together a round up of educational podcast episodes, including science podcasts explaining the coronavirus, fun and silly story podcasts for screen-free entertainment, and mindfulness and relaxation podcasts like ours. Check it out at www.kidslisten.org/activity-podcast.

Things are confusing and changing everyday, so now it’s more important than ever to take time out of our days to pause so we can rest, recharge, and go back to life with a clear and calm mind. So we’ve recorded five mini episodes (one for every weekday) that can be listened to at the beginning or any point of your day to help build mindfulness into your child’s routine. We’re calling them “Time to Pause”. You can create a routine and healthy habits by listening to them again on the designated day of the week. And remember: Social distancing doesn’t mean emotional distancing. Kids and parents and family can listen to the Time to Pause episodes together, they’re only a couple minutes long! We even add an activity that you can do after the episode is over, most are ways to express kindness to others, something that I really think is needed at this time. Peace Out is part of KidsListen, which has put together a round up of educational podcast episodes, including science podcasts explaining the coronavirus, fun and silly story podcasts for screen-free entertainment, and mindfulness and relaxation podcasts like ours.

Tomatoes, Bees, and Me

Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable? Today we’re talking about being adaptable while we move, breathe, and imagine that we’re a growing tomato plant and also a buzzing bumble bee! One of our poses today, inspired by boat pose in yoga, is quite challenging, using a lot of core muscles. A couple of options are given, but one more that can be used is holding behind the knees. Encourage your child(ren) to rest whenever they need it. If you’d like to tell us about a time when someone did something kind for you, please send a voice recording to [email protected] with “Kindness Story (child’s name)” as the subject. We will listen and respond to each one and choose a few to include on future Peace Out episodes! Today’s Themes Scientific (curriculum connections): plants, buzz pollination, nutrition Social-emotional connections: awareness and consideration of others, being adaptable to the situation, resiliency Resource What’s the Buzz? How Tomatoes are Pollinated by Christine Casey The Importance of Bees, Canada Agriculture and Food Museum Coping with change: teaching adaptability will help children grow, The Conversation Understanding temperament: Adaptability, The Center for Parenting Education Why not listen to more of Peace Out from Bedtime FM Drop us an email to [email protected], or follow us on Facebook or Twitter

Mycelium Mindfulness

Today we talk about mycelium. To me, this is such an interesting topic, so I’ve included some links below if you want to learn more! We also do a Loving Kindness practice today. This is when we think of four people (ourselves, someone we love, someone we find difficult, a neutral person) while we say: May you be happy May you be healthy May you be safe May you live with ease This is a beautiful practice that helps encourage kindness. And speaking of kindness, if you’d like to tell us about a time when someone did something kind for you, please send a voice recording to [email protected] with “Kindness Story (child’s name)” as the subject. We will listen and respond to each one and choose a few to include on future Peace Out episodes! Today’s Themes Scientific (curriculum connections): mushrooms, mycelium, root systems Social-emotional connections: interconnectedness Resources Nature Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of the Natural World by Julia Rothman (I love this beautifully illustrated book!) Plants talk to each other using an internet of fungus by Nic Fleming (BBC) Mushroom Tutorial, Brandeis University List of Mushroom Types from A to Z, Gardening Channel Video: Joe’s Big Idea: Inspired By A Fungus, Inventor Creates Biodegradable Packaging (NPR) Video: David Suzuki wants Canada to embrace renewable energy before it's too late (for older children, adults) Why not listen to more of Peace Out from Bedtime FM Drop us an email to [email protected], or follow us on Facebook or Twitter
