## What is Mindfulness for Children App?

The Mindfulness for Children app introduces your family to the practice of meditation. Included are guided meditations to help your child gently process their experiences. They will learn to use breathing to restore emotional balance and to locate and release emotional stress in the body.

Mindfulness for Children is family-friendly and appropriate for children 4+ years and older.

Why did we create the Mindfulness for Children app?

Meditation's benefits are well-documented.

"When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress.

The emotional benefits of meditation can include: gaining a new perspective on stressful situations, building skills to manage your stress, increasing self-awareness, focusing on the present, reducing negative emotions, increasing imagination and creativity, (and) increasing patience and tolerance." - The Mayo Clinic.

We imagine a future full of vibrant, emotionally and physically healthy adults raised with meditation. That possible future inspired us to create Mindfulness for Children. We want today's kids to have the tools to process their experiences. We're parents. Each day we help our kids navigate the world.

Who are we?

Mindfulness for Children's creators are Pia and Jannik Holgersen.

Pia Holgersen
App producer and meditation expert

Pia studied Psychomotricity and Physiotherapy at the UCC University College North Zealand. Pia holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychomotor Therapy and Physiotherapy.

Pia is passionate about the mind-body connection. In her private and professional life, Pia has experienced and studied the benefits and joys that result from a meditation practice focused on the development of heightened awareness of one's body. She regards mindfulness meditation, “as a powerful tool for creating physical and mental stability, and a daily life with more inner peace and increased energy.”

Jannik Holgersen
App producer and developer

Jannik has developed and produced several different apps including Mindful Island and Sound of Mindfulness. Jannik has years of technical experience working in TV and entertainment.

Jannik’s interest in mindfulness meditation has expanded during recent years as all humans face increasing stress levels and demands on their time; at work and at home. “My approach to mindfulness goes back to 1999 when I began meditating. I learned that children are born mindful, but lose that ability to be aware and at peace over time. My goal is that parents use our app to meditate together with their children, and as a result, their children learn to stay mindful throughout their lives.”

Sincerely,
Jannik & Pia

### 4/5 — Great, just one problem

*2020-08-25, version 2.0*

I love this app. The sounds of nature are super calming, and the guided meditation is really cool. I have found to really like the bell meditation. But I have found one problem.

When I was thinking about getting this, all of the past reviews said things that there were meditation items that I couldn't find in this app. And even a few of them said that they didn't have to update to find them! So the fact that I can't find some of the things that they said like ‘check-in's’ and other stuff, makes be want to use the app less. But I like this app and want to use it anyway! But if you could fix this problem, or just tell me that the app doesn't have those things, that would be awesome. 
Thanks!

### 5/5 — This is awesome 👏👏👏👏👏

*2020-05-22, version 2.0*

Developer I love it help me get to sleep immediately

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2019-11-25, version 1.4*

You have to pay for this app and it offers very little. I think you get a total of 5 nature sounds recordings and 5 guided meditations. The guided meditations are only the speaker and no background sounds. I’ve seen better free apps that offer so much more. I’m requesting my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi Master rater. We are so sorry to hear that. 
When you introduces your family to the practice of mindfulness meditation for children we believe that you don't need +100 meditations.
The best thing about our Mindfulness for Children app is that it has so much focus on the body, bodily sensations and what we are currently sensing.
All feelings are felt in the body, what we experience produces feelings, what we sense brings forth emotions. Therefore, the same body scan can be experienced very differently from person to person and also different from day to day.
Therefore, the same exercises can be used infinitely many times as there is always something new to discover.

We hope you would like to give it another try. We worked hard for making this app.
And hey..... There are a lot of new meditations coming up soon......
All the best to you

### 3/5 — It’s ok...

*2018-03-10, version 1.2*

But is not helping my 9 year old daughter to fall asleep. She has ADHD.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe your daughter need to get used to the meditations ? Sometimes kids have to use the app for some times before they get the benefits of meditations. Good luck.
❤️ Jannik

### 5/5 — For grown ups too

*2017-11-14, version 1.2*

This has honestly helped me so much! My daughter who is a social worker showed me this app when I was having a hard time sleeping. It really relaxes you and sends you off into dreamland.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this great review. Feel free to share it. Maybe we should call the app Mindfulness for Children and adults ? Have a nice day!
