Mind Yeti

18 episodes

Short, guided mindfulness sessions for kids from Committee for Children, the non-profit behind Second Step. Each one is a one-to-six-minute practice a teacher can press play on for the whole class -- a slow breath to settle down, a body scan to sharpen focus, a listen-for-one-sound exercise, or a gratitude or kindness reflection -- narrated in a calm, friendly voice made for children ages 5-12. Three short explainers introduce what mindfulness is, how practice changes the brain, and how to get your body ready. A ready-made toolkit for calm-down moments, transitions, and social-emotional learning.
