Great!
This app has been helping my 7 & 5 year old so much at bedtime! They look forward (and ask) to the having these meditation/stories after we have read books. I play for them, as I put my toddler to bed. (I often do bedtime alone - a game changer!) It really helps them calm down and fall asleep. The only reason I have put 4 stars is because my children love novelty and are almost gone through all of the long stories 😅 (and does take them about 20mins)
I love the breathing techniques and all the underlying themes in the stories for mindfulness.

So Calming!
Every day after bathtime I start a story for my 18 month old while we get into jammies. He usually puts up a fight when I’m changing him, but the second I say “stories?!” he immediately gets excited. I can tell he’s really listening to the stories too because he’ll interact with words that he recognizes. It immediately sets the tone for bedtime for us. I play another story while I rock him to sleep, and within about 10 minutes he’s usually out. I’ll be using this app forever!

Works for my sensory seeking son
I have a 5 year old son who is on the autism spectrum and has adhd. Getting him calm and ready for bed can be a challenge. We’ve tried multiple meditation apps/audiobooks and nothing has helped to calm him and regulate him before bed. I was so surprised when this app actually helped! Every story we’ve tried has calmed him down within minutes. This has been a life saver for me!

Incredible!
I started using the Goldmines app a few weeks ago before I weaned my 14m/o off feeding to sleep. I was really nervous about this transition as she has never been a good sleeper and bedtime generally takes a year off my life 😵💫. I tried to layer listening to stories in before weaning, skeptical but desperate and willing to try anything. All I have to say is wow! The stories are so cute ( bonus points for seasonal ones) and I love the subtle transition from stories to calming music. My daughter is a raging extrovert so listening to these stories I think helps her ease into sleep without feeling like she’s missing out on anything. I have genuinely gone from dreading bedtime to enjoying it! It now takes less than 20 minutes for my daughter to fall asleep. We love these stories and the creators behind them!! It’s been such a lifesaver.

Perfect for Families!
This app has brought so much peace not only to bedtime but naps and quiet time. Our 4 year old loves to pick a story every night and is asleep within minutes. The calming melodies have been so soothing for mom while napping the 3 month old as well. Love love love this app. Worth every penny!
Download it!
This app is a lovely, calming tool for children (especially my toddler), for not only naps and bedtime, but when your little needs some quiet time and regulation. There are so many stories available, long and short, there is a customizable feature to add your child’s name into stories, and there is a free week trial to try it out. Not only do I love the app, but the creators who made it who are so passionate in the sleep space for children! Thank you for this app 🙏🏻

Magic!
As expected, going to bed got really tricky for my daughter around 2 years old. I see a lot of myself in her as she squirms around, unable to settle her mind and body for sleep. Enter: Goldminds! She LOVES this app! The stories give her brain something to focus on and wind down to at night, something to get her day adorably and positive started during breakfast , and even things to focus on during long car rides that are not a screen. She requests this app ALL THE TIME - we all love it.

My child loves the stories!
My toddler takes a while to settle down for sleep. We lay together and put on a story playlist to help her fall asleep and she loves getting to pick out what stories we listen to! It definitely helps relax her and doesn’t take as long as it usually does to fall asleep. There are also lots of great daytime story options as well, and the app really works for a variety of ages! We’re so glad we subscribed!

Best App + Stories!!
Absolutely obsessed. My busy body two year old LOVES the stories. It doesn’t help him fall asleep “faster” per say at night but it does help him be SO much calmer while he lays down. SO MUCH LESS tossing and turning and that’s such a win. He gets so excited every night and asks for a “new story” and then ends up picking one of his favorites anyways😂 Our 3 month old loves the heavenly calm soundtrack and I’ve started hitting repeat and letting it play for hours at night. Needless to say we love it and I’m so happy with it.
