  • Meditation Apps for Kids (OF ALL AGES)

    So much of what your child does when seen for counseling at Oak Grove Elementary are embodied throughout these apps. All children benefit from stress reduction and relaxation to help meet their counseling goals and their overall mental health. Engaging in these exercises help student's achieve their school-based goals no matter what social-emotional/behavioral hurdle is in their way (i.e., anxiety, anger management, depression, motivation, social stress, etc.). 

     

    Allow your child to reap the benefits of meditation and mindfulness using technology. Meditating even only a few minutes a day has proven to reduce stress, boost immunity, aid memory and concentration, decrease depression and anxiety, and even make you more compassionate. Don't know where to start? Check out some of our favorite meditation apps for kids. These tools will guide kids through the process and help them relax and ground themselves.

  • Smiling Mind (Mindfulness & Meditation App)

    Mindfulness is increasing in popularity across our nation for people of all ages. This includes children all the way up to adults and seniors. School districts are beginning to include mindfulness practices as part of the "curriculum". You can't separate learning and wellbeing. Wellbeing is essential for learning. With mindfulness, students are more focussed and more engaged learners. 

    Practice mindfulness with your children before, during, or after online instruction or homework. Engage in meditation as often as your family's schedule allows. Allow your child to reap the benefits of meditation and mindfulness using technology. Meditating even only a few minutes a day has proven to reduce stress, boost immunity, aid memory and concentration, decrease depression and anxiety, and even make you more compassionate.

Enjoy the added benefits of reduced stress, a boost in immunity, aid in memory and concentration, decreased depression and anxiety, and it can even make you more compassionate.

  • Mental Health Apps (for Parents and Young Adults)

    Due to recent events, as a parent you may be experiencing higher levels of stress. Stress can take a serious toll on our mental health. It is criticial for parents to have positive mental health to maximize your effecctiveness with the home learning experience, regardless of the topic (i.e., academics, social, emotional, etc.). You can't separate learning (or teaching!) and wellbeing.

    Take care of yourself so you can take care of others.
