Speaker 2: WHOA what was that sound? It sounded like a stomach.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's my stomach and it's crumbling and grumbling.

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: Why is it grumbling? Cowie? Are you hungry?

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: No, Eliet, I'm not hungry. Are you sick No, Lisa,

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm not sick. Yes, Billy, I am nervous.

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: Why are you nervous, Cawie?

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: Because I have a sleepover today and I've never been

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: to a sleepover before.

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: It's okay, Callie, we can help you. Welcome to story

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Time by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating facts about

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: the world around us and the fun of play learning. Today,

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: let's help Cowie prepare for her first sleepover. What do

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you say?

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would love to help, but I don't know

19
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: what a sleepover is.

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: A sleepover is when you go over to a friend's

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: house to play and have fun with your friends, and

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: then you spend the night at your friend's house.

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: Ooh, that sounds fun.

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: Weren't you excited about your sleepover yesterday. Yeah, I was, Well,

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 3: why are you nervous now? Well, because I've never spent

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 3: the night at somebody else's house before.

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: It's okay to be nervous, cowie, especially before doing something

28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: you've never done before or you're just not used to doing.

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: It is, yes, it is. In fact, most people are

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: nervous or scared before doing something they're not used to doing,

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: even adults.

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: Really, why is that?

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Well, most of us like being in what we call

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: our comfort zone.

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: That sounds like a comfy place with.

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: Pillows, pool linkets in hot chocolate.

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: It sounds like my bed.

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: It's not a real place, though, it's a phrase that

39
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: we use to describe how safe and comfortable we feel

40
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: when we do things that we've done many times before.

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Well, that sounds like a great place to be. Why

42
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: would we ever leave.

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Our comfort zone? Well, some of the most exciting things

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: in life happen when we try things we haven't done before.

45
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: It's how we grow and learn and how we get better.

46
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Just imagine if professional athletes never tried playing sports, or

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: famous singers never tried to sing on stage, they would

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: never become great at what they do, and there would

49
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: be no sports games, to watch, your concerts to go to.

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, that would be terrible.

51
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: Now, even though it's good to leave your comfort zone,

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: it's also important to respect other people's comfort zones. If

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: someone is not comfortable with doing something, we can encourage them,

54
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: but we shouldn't pressure them.

55
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: But why does a comfort zone have to do with

56
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 2: my sleepover?

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, you're nervous about your sleepover because it's something that's

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: new and unfamiliar. But if you don't go, you could

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: miss out on the fun. So we want to encourage you.

60
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: I guess that's true. But why if I miss my family?

61
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Missing your family is okay, it's normal, but it doesn't

62
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: mean you shouldn't go. Maybe we could think of some

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: things that could help you not be sad. Any ideas everyone.

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: You could bring a teddy bear to keep you company,

65
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: or a picture of your family to think of them.

66
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Those are nice ideas. You know what can also help

67
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: you feel more calm and relaxed. What doing some breathing exercises?

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: But don't we breathe all the time? Why would we

69
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: do breathing exercises.

70
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: It's a special kind of breathing, deeper and slower than

71
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: regular breathing. It can help us relax and focus our

72
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: thoughts and feelings. How about we give it a try now, okay, okay,

73
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: Lingo kids listeners, you can join in too. You'll start

74
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: by breathing in deeply and slowly through your nose, and

75
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: you're going to hold your breath for three or four seconds.

76
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: Then you'll breathe out slowly through your mouth for another

77
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: three or four seconds, and we can repeat this a

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: few times. Are you ready?

79
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay.

80
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Start by breathing in slowly. Try to hold your breath

81
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: in while I count to four one two three four.

82
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Now breathe out slowly while I count to four again,

83
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: one two three four. Well done. Let's do that one

84
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: more time and try to concentrate your thoughts on your breathing.

85
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: Breathe in and hold for one, two three four, and

86
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: then breathe out for one, two three four. Great job.

87
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: That was fun. That gets far nice.

88
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: The great thing is you can do this anywhere whenever

89
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: you're feeling nervous or sad, and before going to bed,

90
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: maybe you could do this to help you get ready

91
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: for bed, after you put on your pajamas and your teeth.

92
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm still worried about one thing ago.

93
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: What is it?

94
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: Cowie, I'm afraid I tell you still rumble Lane and

95
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: yet's Rumblelane for food.

96
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: Thank you all for helping Cawie get ready for her sleepover.

97
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: We had a great time today learning about our comfort zones.

98
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids listeners, remember your comfort zone may be different

99
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: to the one of your friend and even your family members.
