Mia and Max are part of a cheerful family on a road trip to visit their grandparents. How will they pass the time in the car?

A Cheerful Family Excerpt:
It would be a long drive, so Max tried to think of something to do. “Why don’t we play the alphabet game?” he said.
“That sounds like fun!” Mia replied. And Max, Mia, their mom and dad, began looking for things that began with the letter A. Mia found an airplane flying overhead, mom found an apple tree, Max saw animals outside, and dad counted eight arms inside the car. Once everyone had found something beginning with A, they went on to find something beginning with B.
Mom was first this time. She found a bright red barn. Mia proudly spotted a bicycle. Dad saw a boat, as they crossed a long bridge over the water, and Max was excited when he saw a buffalo. Now it was time to find C things. Dad quickly spotted cows in a field. Max found a camp. Mom pointed out all the cars on the road, and Mia managed to spot a cat sitting in the grassy field. Max felt happy he had suggested a game that everyone was enjoying.

In the forest, just beyond the park, Dragon discovers a present. The happy dragon hurries onto the playground to thank the kids.

We’re here at Be Calm on Ahway Island Podcast, to help you provide your child with the tools they need to self-soothe.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:18
Narrator: Male
Here’s an excerpt from today’s bedtime story to help with emotional regulation, Happy Dragon:
Growing nearer to the playground Dragon began to feel curious because there was something sitting in the forest just ahead. It was wrapped in a big red bow. As Dragon walked closer, Dragon realized it was a present. Had someone lost a gift? Dragon hurried over to it, eager to return the gift to its recipient. Dragon searched for a clue as to whose present it might be. There was a picture tied to the present. It was a dragon! Dragon smiled knowing whose present it was. Quickly, Dragon untied the ribbon picked up the soft fabric.
