It’s hopeless! I’m never gonna get it! We’re never going to get there! I can’t do this!  Does that sound familiar? Feeling like something is impossible to do is frustrating and upsetting for us, and even more so for children who are still developing the tools to deal with these feelings of hopelessness. Today we talk about those feelings and what we can do to work on them. If you’d like to share what goals you’re working on with us, please email us at peaceout@bedtime.fm or find us on Twitter @peaceoutpodcast or Facebook @bedtimefm.

At the highest altitude,  For centuries lay a multitude Of treasures beyond all imagination  That will one day save the our humble nation. Riches that will only be unburied By one who is pure of heart and deed  Who will pass through fire, water, air, and earth And defeat monsters to prove their worth.  The fortune you seek to win  Is unlocked by power from within. In this episode, we talk about helping others. Our main characters are Kaala, a red panda, and Chuff, a snow leopard. Red pandas are an endangered species and snow leopards are a vulnerable species. You can learn more about both beautiful animals and how you can help at worldwildlife.org or another animal charity.  Peace out, and peace within.

Zzzzz…Kaala and Chuff are very sleepy after a long swim and journey to meet another group of red pandas.
