How to teach meditation to a 4 year old

Parenting FAQs

To teach meditation for kids that are 4-years-old, begin with simple and engaging activities. Use guided breathing exercises, such as “smell the flower, blow out the candle,” to make it fun. Incorporate story-style meditations that capture their imagination and keep sessions short—around 1 to 3 minutes. Creating a calm environment and using gentle, encouraging language can help them feel comfortable and engaged.
