    Ep 9 A Picnic in the Clearing

    Welcome back to Tiny Tales Bedtime Stories where children and adults of all ages find relaxation and sleep. In tonight’s tale, we’ll finally enjoy our long-awaited picnic in the clearing. Join, as we walk through the pine forest, feed crows from our hand, lazily watch clouds, birds, and chipmunks with no distractions but the beauty of nature. Sleep well! Note to parents: Tiny Tales is a bedtime story podcast that will help ease your young ones (and even yourself) into a deep dream-filled sleep. What to expect: * Each tale is a quiet story with soft background music to encourage your child to fall asleep before the tale is even finished. * If you would like to read a transcript of the tale before listening, please visit tinytalesbedtimestories.substack.com. * The stories are fairytale-like adventures with magical creatures (such as gnomes and mermaids), talking animals, nature, and the simple joys of life, like picnics and long walks. * Listeners will learn that sleep is a way to recharge for the next day, not the end of their fun. “Sleep avoidance” is a common feeling that sometimes brings fear or even anger when bedtime is announced. These tales address these feelings and help listeners embrace relaxation. * The tales progress one to another, but are not plot driven or require listening to the previous tale. Each story stands alone, allowing you to start wherever you’d like. * As the story progresses, my words slow and quiet with longer pauses in between to encourage sleep. At the end, the music extends and fades out to cover any noise as you sneak from their room toward your own slumber.

    Ep 2 A Squirrel's Love for Cake

    The story I’ll tell you tonight continues the adventure at our aunt’s house. It's about the trickery of squirrels and their love for extra treats.
