A New Sibling
What happens when a new froglet comes to live on the lily pad? Hop along with Evie to find out how to welcome a new baby brother or sister! 🐸 A new baby can bring lots of big feelings for an older sibling, from excitement to worry about what might change. Using frogs and lily pads to bring the story to life, Evie gently reassures children that there’s still plenty of love to go around, and shows them simple, fun ways to help with the new arrival, like pulling a funny face to make a crying baby giggle.

Five Little Puppies - A Song About Boundaries!
In this episode, Evie explains how she learned about boundaries - the simple words that help us tell others what feels okay for our bodies, and what doesn't. Through the story of five little puppies at play, children hear different ways to set a boundary ("stop please," "no thank you," "not right now") and, just as importantly, how good friends listen and respond kindly when someone says stop. By the end, little listeners are invited to join in with their own "stop, please!" and are reminded that everybody's boundaries are different - and all of them are okay. Hosted on Acast.

Invisible Hug
That tight feeling in your tummy when you have to say goodbye to someone you love is a big feeling for little ones to manage - and it's completely normal. In this episode, Evie shares the story of Kit the koala, who loves hugs more than anything but has to face his very first day of school without his Mum by his side. Through Kit's story, children learn a gentle self-soothing technique called the “Invisible Hug” - something they can carry with them wherever they go, whether it's the school gate, a grandparent's visit ending or any moment where goodbyes feel hard. By the end, we practise the Invisible Hug together with a calming rhyme, so your child has a real tool to use next time those big feelings show up. Hosted on Acast.
