Thank You. My 3-year old is now engaged in this story, lying in bed with me until we drift off to sleep. This is wonderful. 💜💜💜

Stephen, I have been listening for a week and this is the first time I've slept in years for more than a few minutes at a time. Now I sleep every time I listen to you. Loads of thanks to you. Enormous gratitude ! ❤

[@mondragonally]

Steven, I placed this on for my girl's as we were on vacation and they needed help sleeping since we weren't in our home beds.... I placed your voice on and during your countdown you very peacefully made me fall asleep as well. My goodness... your voice is of sweet dreams and happy wishes...PLEASE CONTINUE making these videos and countdowns. So relaxing!!!! ❤

[@shelleyb1384]

I'm 59 and this just transports the listener to a place of safety and calmness. I suffer from anxiety and insomnia and found this to be really pleasant to listen to.❤

Your voice is so relaxing please Make more videos

[@teganshanley2818]

Beautiful scenery and graphics! Helps calm my son into a lovely rest most nights, (myself too some nights). Thank you to all, including the children who requested this. Enjoy your sweet dreams n thank you for ours. Take care!

[@starcrossd03]

Stephen, once again I thank you for using countdowns in the relaxation; love it as a technique, and you do it masterfully.

[@kgoodridge1]

I agree. It's the best countdown I've heard, and I often wish you'd start at a higher number! "What's gone is gone, and what will be, will be." That alone has changed my attitude so many times!

[@ginalisenby9668]

I fall asleep during the relaxation part. Seldom hear much of the stories. But been listening during these cold days. Still makes me nap, but I hear a little bit more

Great that you gave a shout out to your young viewers. Nice story

[@RyleePeltier-y1g]

My kids have had the hardest time with winding down for bed. I came across your videos not knowing what to expect. They always want me to tell them stories then end up not falling asleep for about 2 hours, your stories get them to sleep in about 5 minutes. We’ve been listening to your videos for about two weeks now and they’ve been a saving grace.

[@dawnfitzgerald7433]

This is a beautiful story I think it may be one of my favorites. The voices the lessons, the shared wisdom,the characters the music the background. Beautiful ❤

[@ramonalione4024]

I dont know how fell asleep before these stories. Steven Dakton is a godsebd!

[@alejandriamorales1212]

I’m so glad I found you. Love this.

[@connie5006]

I love your stories like this where the music is very very soft in the background, and the sound of rain and crackling fires are almost as soothing as your voice! Thank you so very much for being so generous with your gift!

[@lesarts1370]

This is so beautiful, very kind of you for the children Alice and Alexandre, I think they will never forget ❤ I think you have a very pure heart. Looking forward to all your other stories.

[@CocoTalesForKids]

love it!!

[@susanrider3991]

My older toddler classroom loves this story for their nap time. Please create more stories like this for the younger audience.

[@Suitcasehandle]

My 3 year old daughter has been having nightmare the past couple of weeks, so I thought I would give this a try ; she was sound asleep before the story even started and without getting scared of having a horrible dream, fingers crossed this helps her have nice dreams tonight. Thank you ❤

[@Charlotte_breathes_fire]

A couple of weeks is longer than normal. That sounds like she might be going through something stressful or even traumatic. I hope she can open up to someone. Trauma gets worse if not.

[@Suitcasehandle]

There’s a lil boy at nursery who is autistic and she is scared of him as he can be quite heavy handed, she’s was having lots of dreams about him, thankfully she has gotten used to him and is no longer having nightmares

[@galacticshakti]

stephen if you’re ever feeling called to it i would love to experience another meditation video from you 🪽✨ your voice is perfect for it and ive loved your ones before! i know it’s been awhile but another meditation would be AWESOME. maybe even a morning meditation to help us wake up slow and with ease? i’d love to start my day with a stephen meditation! that’d be amazing. thank you for everything!!!

[@Grammie-hk5vb]

This is absolutely beautiful.....thank you 🕊

[@n.e.v.e_9879]

This is perfect! I usually read my son a story for bed but my throat is sore tonight. So tonight I am loving this as my son listens and drifts off as I type this and my baby daughter has also drifted off in my arms! ❤

[@christierichardson2841]

I love the first picture of Tulips. They are my favorite type of flowers. The magical artwork of the forest with Alice, the bear and the owl is perfect. The music is perfect, not too high pitched and reminiscent of a lullaby 🎶. I always loved walking through the forest when the sun streams through the trees.It's such a heavenly, magical and other worldly feeling. This story brings back memories of my childhood when I would run and play with my siblings and cousins in the forest. The hills, valleys, streams and trees were our friends. Sister moon ( as I call her ) has always meant so much to me as I have been comforted by her light through many great and sometimes sad moments of my life. This is such a sweet and beautiful story ❤. Thank you for bringing restful sleep to us. I pray for the protection , health and provision for you and your family 🙏. ❤

[@MarshaBell-o8w]

Enjoyed Alice,the bear an the eagle. Wish it was longer.

[@Anchorageb2]

I love tulips too. Any bulb flower. They fascinate me they have a tulip and an Iris mix. It's Soo pretty!

[@shelbyharris5894]

My husband and I love listening to you before bed. Recently, I introduced your stories to our kiddos. Our youngest has always had problems falling asleep and sleeping through the night. He falls asleep just before you finish the count down and sleeps all through the night! This is his favorite story, the one he requests every single night 🖤 we appreciate and love your work!

[@kaysiebailey909]

Thank you Stephen! My little daughter’s name is Alice-Maggie, her and her older sister LOVE your meditation, and stories. Keep reassuring people they are safe. It works wonders. It’s a long shot; but could you do a story about Australian Christmas? It’s so different and beautiful. Or just a story about Australia! It would be a silent nod to fellow Australian’s, my children Thani, Alice and myself.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

There is an Australian story coming around Christmas. I wrote it because of your request. It’s not all in Australia, but it starts there. I hope you like it. It’s called voyage across the world 🙏🏻

I cried to this one. It touched my heart you did it for kids when most people refer to these as adult bedtime stories but unless they are nsughty shouldnt have an age limmit. I love these stories and teaching kids to dream with thier eyes open or shut is beautiful.

I just discovered this while babysitting when I couldn’t download the book I was going to read. The story and artwork worked like magic on both kids! I love your channel! I am a teacher and plan to share this with the parents! It would be amazing to have one of these as a “calming reset for transitioning the kids when they are rowdy.” I don’t want them completely asleep. Just calmed. Maybe you could release something like that?

If I could tell myself something as a kid it would be Feelings are Never "Wrong" so Don't let anyone ever shame you for feeling upset etc, esp for standing up for yourself, not even your parents, and not even anger. Anger protects your boundaries. You are worthy. You are important. ❤ Edit: I won't apologize for this, and though I agree it's not a good idea for kids to put their age out there, I took the opportunity to share what could've saved me decades of pain, and I don't regret that.
