A note from Sean
Some of the gentlest practices are like teaching a child: baby steps, starting with what is easy to notice. For this worksheet, that is a bell.
Try this today. Sit with your child and ring a bell or chime once. Ask them to listen until the sound is gone, then raise a hand. Ring it again, and when it fades, ask what the quiet feels like. Keep it to a few minutes, and let them answer in their own words.

This suits adults guiding a child, and works before sleep too. If your child is upset or the quiet feels uncomfortable to them, go gently. Stop when they need to.
