Calm (Kids Section)
Best sleep stories and bedtime wind-down content for children of all ages
Calm's kids section earns its place as runner-up primarily on the strength of its Sleep Stories and the sheer volume of engaging audio content that children ask to return to. The app excels at bedtime routines and helping anxious kids settle, though parents of younger children should plan to co-use the app since it isn't segmented specifically for kids. Families already subscribed for adult use will find the kids content a genuinely valuable bonus.
✓ Pros
- "Sleep Stories" narrated by celebrities like Matthew McConaughey are a genuine hit with kids and parents alike
- Extensive library of kids meditations, movement exercises, and focus tracks updated regularly
- Polished app experience with soothing visuals that calm children down before bed
✕ Cons
- Kids content is embedded within the adult app — younger children need a parent to navigate for them
- No robust parental controls to restrict adult content sections from older, independent users
