Description

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.”
“It’s okay for me to feel what I feel.”

This meditation is perfect for:

  • Kids who say “I don’t want to go to school”

  • Children who feel sad, worried, or overwhelmed about leaving home

  • Families navigating the transition from summer to school routines

  • Morning routines when kids resist going to school

  • Building resilience, bravery, and confidence in children

By practicing this short and soothing meditation, your child will feel validated, supported, and empowered to face the school day—even if it’s still hard. They’ll carry affirmations like a “backpack of courage,” giving them the tools they need to manage emotions and take on challenges.

🎧 Press play during morning routines, before school drop-off, or anytime your child feels heavy emotions about school.
