Morning Has Many Steps
Morning has many steps to do. Sometimes all the steps feel like a lot. My body can feel rushed and tight inside. This feeling happens to many children.

Dad Made a Helpful Chart
Dad knows mornings can feel busy. He made a chart for each step. Seeing one step helps the morning feel smaller. Taking a short break helps, too.

I Breathe and Feel Calm
I breathe in slowly, then breathe out. Breathing helps my body feel calm. It is okay if a step takes longer. Dad is nearby if I need help.

Trying the Steps with Help
I can try the steps with Dad nearby. I look at the chart for step one. Dad helps if a step feels hard. We do the morning steps together.
