How can a pink blanket, a favorite book, and a quiet moment teach a child emotional regulation?
In this heartwarming and powerful episode, we share the true story of a little girl navigating the emotional storm of bouncing between two homes. Struggling with anger and confusion, her feelings often erupted like a tornado—until one day, she came home, wrapped herself in her pink blanket, and simply said, “I just need a moment.”
Her mom later realized that through repeated bedtime readings of The Angriest Monster on Mill Street, her daughter had internalized grounding techniques—using her five senses to calm herself, just like the character in the book.
This episode explores how children’s stories can become emotional toolkits, helping young readers recognize, name, and manage their big feelings in real life. It’s a beautiful reminder that storytelling doesn’t just entertain—it heals.
