Some nights a child feels like they did not get everything right and worries they have to be perfect. This episode sits in Psalm 15:2 and lifts that weight: you do not have to be perfect, you just keep practicing, like learning an instrument a little every day. After the lights are off, you could remind them that being honest all the way through means being the same kind person whether or not anyone is watching. Then let that gentle truth settle over them as they drift off to sleep.
