By: Kira Willey

Narrated by: Kira Willey

Written and read by Kira Willey, winner of three Parents' Choice Gold Awards, kids can use these three mindfulness activities to manage their bodies, breath, and emotions.

These exercises for calm and focus can be done anywhere: in the backseat of a car, at home, or at a child's desk at school.
