Struggling with bedtime? Bedtime Calm is a soothing 6-minute guided meditation designed to help children (ages 5–10) feel safe, relaxed, and ready for sleep.

Through gentle breathing, calming words, and peaceful imagery, this short meditation helps kids wind down, ease anxiety, and create a restful bedtime routine—without screens.

Our mantra: Make things mindfully—don’t sweat your mistakes.

Perfect for:
