Your App Lady  Show Notes  Series 1 Episode 35 Welcome to series 1 episode 35 of the Your App Lady Podcast! All about apps and tech that I love and use every day. On each episode, I’ll talk about recent tech news, recommend apps that I use myself and leave you with a great tech tip. Tech News This article lists a variety of apps that help kids manage their anxiety.  Both adults and kids can benefit from meditation.  For kids as young as 2 years old, practicing healthy emotional habits like mindfulness can help them build their mental resilience. This allows them to handle whatever life throws at them when they’re older. There is a huge body of research that suggests that mindfulness meditation can be an effective tool for kids with anxiety, ADHD, depression and other mental health diagnoses. Our smartphones and tablets are great tools to deliver meditation content. This list includes Wellbeyond Meditation for Kids and other great apps. Be sure to check them out!
