🌿🦊 Floating Thoughts
 
Featured Story
 
✨ A gentle introduction to mindfulness and defusion for kids.
 
Join Finn the Fox and Delaney the Duck in Floating Thought — a warm and simple forest story that helps children learn how to handle “sticky” thoughts with curiosity and kindness.
 
When Finn feels trapped by worried thoughts, Delaney invites him to imagine each one as a leaf floating down a quiet stream. With every breath, Finn learns that thoughts can come and go — and that calm often begins with letting them drift.
 
This softly illustrated story supports children (ages 4–9) in developing mindfulness and defusion skills inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through relatable dialogue, gentle imagery, and supportive reflection, kids learn to notice their thoughts without getting carried away by them — building self-awareness, calm, and emotional flexibility.
 
Included in this resource:

📖 6-page illustrated story with gentle reflection and comprehension questions to guide emotional learning.

🌱 2-page Note for Adults with practical guidance on introducing mindfulness and defusion to children, plus ideas for home, therapy, or classroom use.

🎴 3-page set of sequencing cards (image + text versions) to help children retell the story, explore thoughts, and practice mindful noticing through play.
