Feeling Nervous in New Places — Bramble & Honey’s First Christmas (A Calming Sleep Story for Kids)

gentle story for children feeling shy, new, or far from home.

Hello Little Light, and welcome back to the Meadow. Tonight’s bedtime story follows Bramble—a little bear visiting a brand-new place for Christmas—and his tiny sister Honey, lovingly called Baby Bear.

They’ve never been to the Meadow before. The lights feel too bright… the faces feel unfamiliar… and Bramble’s little heart feels wobbly and unsure.

With the kindness of Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and the Meadow Friends, Bramble begins to learn a beautiful truth:

✨ You don’t have to fit in to belong. There is already space for you—just as you are. ✨

Rooted in Psalm 34:18, this gentle Christmas story comforts children who may be:

• visiting family or travelling
  

• feeling anxious or overwhelmed in new places
  

• missing their usual traditions
  

• struggling with shyness or social anxiety
  

• needing reassurance that they are welcome and loved
  

🌟 Memory Verse

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

💛 Affirmation for Little Hearts
