4 Children’s Meditations for Sleep
Getting children to bed isn’t always an easy feat, especially if they’ve had a long and active day. These 5-minute children’s meditations for sleep were specifically designed to help kids refocus their attention, slow down their breathing, and tap into a more mindful space. By teaching kids mindfulness at a young age, they’ll be better equipped down the road with improved focus, sleep, and reaction to their emotions.
