In this episode, we are going to spend time reflecting and reviewing what we learned over the past 6 episodes in season 1, as a way to summarize and remember all the fun times we had and all of the learning that we did. Season 1 was all about new beginnings. Our stars of the podcast Amaya and Beezly share their memories and what they learned doing season 1. We encourage you to also reflect on what you learned during our new beginnings season. We’d love to hear from you, feel free to share with us on Instagram or email us.

In today’s episode, we are going to do a sweet and simple rain meditation that helps children to feel more clear and relaxed (in their mind, heart, and body) before starting something new. This meditation, you can come back to and listen anytime when you feel stressed or overwhelmed. If this is your first time meditating, don’t worry, there is always a first time for everything. Meditation is a practice for everyone–it helps us to feel more calm, connected, and centered. Find a comfortable and quiet place to sit for a couple of minutes…this may be a special corner that you have or you create to come back to each time you want to meditate. We help kids practice mediation in this episode, to feel connected and calm, and to know it’s a practice they can come back to, again and again whenever needed.

Today we have a special story, all about beauty. Sometimes when we start something new or we meet new people, we worry a little bit about what other people will think of us. So in this story, we take a journey through the forest of inner beauty, where we learn what real beauty is, and hint . . . it has nothing to do with the way that you look. The forest of beauty reminds us of many things: that beauty comes from inside, from our heart; noticing what makes someone different and unique is noticing their beauty; when someone has a lovely smile and brightness in their eyes, that is their inner beauty coming out, and we don’t always have to smile to be beautiful…it’s important to remember that too. We help kids learn in this episode, that we can be beautiful even if we are sad or upset as long as we are kind to ourselves and stay connected to our heart . . . that is what matters.

Today’s episode is all about our good qualities and how to discover them and remembering that we have a lot of good qualities within ourselves. We will do a really special activity called the Inner Quality Quiz...it’s not your typical school type of quiz, but a fun game show type of quiz! This special activity helps us discover the good qualities we already have within ourselves. In this episode, we help kids identify the good qualities they already hold, which can lead to a new and deeper sense of self-confidence.

We have a special guest with us for this episode, WeeWoo's very own musician. In this episode, we talk about different strategies to help ease the feeling of being scared or nervous before starting something new. It's normal for children to feel scared, anxious, or nervous around new beginnings. Even as adults, we often struggle emotionally at the start of a new project or activity. We want kids to know that (1) feeling scared is normal (2) they are not alone, everyone feels scared sometimes during new beginnings, and (3) there are things that they can do to help themselves feel better. We want to make this easier for them (for us all), so we wrote a special song to sing when feeling scared. The melody and lyrics of this song are comforting and reassuring, and serve as a tool to assist children in self-regulation.

It’s storytime today . . . Amaya and Beezly share a story all about special new beginnings, how to be strong, face fears, be brave, cry, and learn from mistakes. This story helps to show kids how to set intentions (during any new beginning) and learn to appreciate their mistakes, rather than feel ashamed or upset when they mess up. In this episode, we help kids see that learning from mistakes and errors is an essential part of childhood development. We want children to understand there is a positive side to getting things wrong and that our mistakes can be our teachers. We all make mistakes, and when we do, there is a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow.  WeeWonna Talk Podcast: weareweewoo.com/podcast To download the journal: weareweewoo.com/begin

We see reflection as an essential skill to teach children. Self-reflection helps kids to pause, to understand their achievements, what they enjoy, what they value, and creates a willingness to learn from their mistakes. In this episode, we explore The Inner Treasure Hunt exercise and give you (and your kids) an example of reflection. This is a simple and creative technique to get your kids reflecting before starting the New Year.  WeeWonna Talk Podcast: weareweewoo.com/podcast To download the journal: weareweewoo.com/treasure

Imagine a podcast just for kids. There’s so much grown-up stuff out there, but kids wonna talk too, and we believe in encouraging open dialogue and creative learning from a young age! Kids: We know that sometimes it’s not so easy to talk about things or understand big topics.  That’s why we’re here, to explore. And don’t worry, we will always have plenty of fun and surprises. Parents/caregivers: We know how valuable (and daunting) starting a conversation with your kiddos can be. Especially around the “bigger” topics in life. If you’re looking for some support, you’re in the right place.
