Meditate for Kids

Guided Meditation for Children

Kids have a never ending range of thoughts, which can result in a variety of feelings that can be difficult to manage. Kids often resort to expressing themselves and their feelings in erratic or unpredictable ways, simply because the emotions must escape one way or another. When kids practice meditations for kids they begin to become more in touch with their emotions and learn how to calm their emotional energy to communicate more clearly and more thoroughly enjoy the positive moments.

What does meditation for children look like?

It can be hard to imagine both your child being still enough for meditation and your meditation being captivating enough for your child, but with Siddha Meditate both are possible! We offer Meditation classes for kids that feature movements, even standing movements and excited movements, because meditation isn’t simply an act of relaxation, but one of extreme focus that can even include body activity and movement. Siddha Meditate app offers classes that use your child’s creative and artistic mind to connect their meditation practice to an art piece. We even offer mindfulness for kids that bridges their mindfulness meditation habit to their favorite songs and helps them to understand the beats and rhythms that make music wonderful as a meditative listening practice.

Meditation for kids of all ages

Meditation is great for older kids, preteens and teenagers as a way to better understand their minds and mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. However, younger children benefit immensely from the practice of meditation as a way to learn how their mind works and how it is connected to their body. Guided meditation for preschoolers can give them a five minute opportunity to find peace and comfort and learn that meditation is both fun and helpful. It is also wonderful to have your kids of all ages practice together, for example, if your kids share a bedroom, meditation is a great way to help all of your kids wake up or fall asleep more seamlessly.

A routine of kids meditation

A child’s meditation practice can help them from the very first time that they meditate. However, the more days and weeks in a row that they practice guided meditations for kids, the benefits of meditation only multiply! Over time, meditation can help kids to develop their executive function, which allows them to make more compassionate and thoughtful decisions, improve and help sustain their ability to focus, and enhance their sense of self control. As your kids grow to love meditation, you’ll grow to love all of the ways that it’s helping them grow!

Meditation for kids on the go!

Some of the most stressful days for parents are travel days, where children can feel anxious or simply bored. Regardless of if the day requires just a few hours in the car or in transit or a full day of sitting still, kids will benefit from taking kids meditation classes at any stage of the journey. Siddha Meditate app makes meditation possible anywhere and at any time, ensuring that your child never misses a day of their meditation habit.

Mindfulness for school

However your child feels about school, they will benefit from mindfulness for kids to support their school days. Mindfulness allows kids to cool down if they become frustrated by social situations. It allows them to prepare for and feel present and ready for quizzes, exams, essays, and even standardized tests. Mindfulness can help your child to listen to their heart, prioritize their own needs and make the best possible choices. Combining mindfulness with meditation is a great way to ensure that your child is developing their mindfulness skills and meditation skills all in one!

Children meditating for fun

Guided meditations for kids that include movement, visualization techniques or use giggling, smiling or laughter are quite fun! Meditation can seem like a very serious or still activity that best serves adults who can handle and gain from the calm of meditation. The reality is that meditation is an action that can help us all in a range of ways regardless of the type of meditation that we chose to practice. The goal of meditation is to devote time to taking care of ourselves, our minds and bodies. Moving or still. Silent or with sounds. Eyes open or eyes closed. There can be a big distinction between kids meditating and adults meditating. Meditation can look very different between different age groups, because meditation works differently for all of us and our unique needs and brains!

Mindfulness kids and eating with intention

Mindfulness kids learn certain tools that can take adults years to learn or relearn. Everyone has their own relationship with food, the foods that they like and dislike and their boundaries with food, how much they need to eat to feel full or even foods or relationships with food that evoke negative emotions. Mindfulness kids can learn how to have a healthy relationship with food and establish healthy relationships and thought patterns about food during their childhood that can help them to have better relationships with food when they reach adulthood. Siddha Meditate app offers classes that teach kids how to get the most out of their food, and even to learn how to listen to the bodies and emotions around food.
