Research in child development shows that stories, imagination, and gentle mindfulness practices can:
Lower stress and help children feel more at ease
Support emotional regulation during difficult moments
Improve focus and attention
Strengthen empathy, kindness, and connection
Promote rest, relaxation, and better sleep
Build confidence and coping skills
Create a sense of safety in unfamiliar or overwhelming environments
These are the foundations of Wee Meditate.

When calming practices are delivered inside a story:
The brain becomes more receptive
