Is your child struggling with going back to school? Do mornings feel overwhelming, filled with big emotions, resistance, or even tears about not wanting to go to school? You’re not alone—and most importantly, your child isn’t alone either.

In this gentle kids’ meditation, we help children acknowledge and validate their feelings about school—whether that’s sadness, frustration, worry, or just missing home. Instead of asking kids to “snap out of it” or “just be happy,” this meditation teaches them how to accept their emotions, feel seen, and build courage step by step.

Your child will learn powerful affirmations such as:
✨ “I grow when I do hard things.”
✨ “I can be brave even when it’s hard.”
