Guided Meditation for Kids

These guided meditation scripts and audios help children and teens relieve stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, feel great (mind, body, and spirit) and develop a positive mental attitude at school and at home.

Meditation is an extremely beneficial mindfulness tool you can teach your child. A July 2021 study found that elementary school-aged children who practiced mindfulness training slept an average of 74 extra minutes a night.

Now you can find 40+ guided meditation and guided imagery scripts for kids. These calming scripts are written exclusively for Green Child readers by Mellisa Dormoy of ShambalaKids. Subscribe to access the library and you'll be able to browse the 40+ topics to see which guided meditation will most benefit your child.

Once you choose a guided meditation script for your child, you may want to read it to yourself to find the rhythm prior to reading it aloud to your child. Once you're ready and your child is relaxed, simply read it in a calm voice, pausing to let the words and feelings sink in.

Watch how your child visibly relaxes and engages the imagination in this relaxing story. The more often you read these scripts, the more easily your child will relax and concentrate.

Meditation works as a stress management tool by switching off the fight or flight response to stress and allowing the body to switch on the relaxation response. When children meditate, they become less reactive to stress. ~ Dr. Alina Olteanu

How to use a guided meditation script with your child

Many parents use these scripts at bedtime to help their child fall asleep peacefully. We always get a few emails saying, "My kid was asleep before we even finished the breathing part!"

Other scripts are more suited to morning readings to help them start their day off calmly and confidently. As you browse through the library, you'll get an idea of which ones are best for your child. Then…

Choose a script. Read it to yourself first to find the rhythm.
Make sure your child is comfortable, relaxed, and calm.
Choose a time when you have your child's attention and they are open to a new experience.
Find a place free from distractions or loud noises.
Read the script to your child in a calm, soothing voice, pausing often. Notice how your child relaxes and engages.
If your child is still awake when you've finished, allow them to reflect and share their thoughts with you.
