Help your child feel calm in just 90 seconds.

In this gentle guided mini meditation, children learn box breathing—a simple breathing exercise that helps them slow down, calm big feelings, and refocus. By imagining a glowing square and following a little light with their breath, kids practice a calming technique they can use anytime they feel worried, frustrated, overwhelmed, or simply need a moment to reset.

This episode is Part 1 of our three-part Breathing Basics series, introducing three simple breathing techniques every child can learn and return to whenever they need to feel calm, focused, and ready to learn.

Perfect before school, after a difficult moment, before a test, at bedtime, or anytime a child needs a quick reset.

✨ Just 90 seconds
 ✨ Designed for ages 5–10
 ✨ Part of our Mini Meditations for Kids series
