Struggling with bedtime? Bedtime Calm is a soothing 6-minute guided meditation designed to help children (ages 5–10) feel safe, relaxed, and ready for sleep.
Through gentle breathing, calming words, and peaceful imagery, this short meditation helps kids wind down, ease anxiety, and create a restful bedtime routine—without screens.
Part of the award-winning Mini Meditations for Kids series, honored by Common Sense Media as one of the top children's podcasts of the year, this episode supports emotional well-being through the “3 M’s” of The Paper Girls Show: Mindfulness, Making, and learning from Mistakes. Our mantra: Make things mindfully—don’t sweat your mistakes.
Perfect for:
- Kids who have trouble falling asleep
- Families creating calm, screen-free bedtime rituals
- Parents and educators looking for SEL tools
