Headspace for Kids
Professionally designed mindfulness curriculum with the most polished kids experience available
Headspace for Kids stands out as the most thoughtfully designed mindfulness experience for children, with curriculum built alongside child development experts and delivered through engaging animation. The family plan makes the per-person cost reasonable, and the age-segmented content means a 6-year-old and a 12-year-old both find material suited to them. It's the app we'd recommend first to any parent wanting a structured, research-backed approach to teaching their child mindfulness.
✓ Pros
- Dedicated kids section with age-tiered content for under-5, 6–8, and 9–12 year olds
- Clinically informed curriculum developed with child psychologists and mindfulness experts
- Charming animated characters and narration keep children genuinely engaged session after session
✕ Cons
- Requires a full Headspace subscription — no standalone kids-only plan at a lower price
- Content library for older tweens (11–12) is narrower than what adults get
