How to Read a Guided Meditation Script to Your Child

We get a lot of emails saying, “My kid was asleep before we even finished the breathing part!”

Some scripts are great for helping your child fall asleep. Other scripts are more suited to morning readings to help them start their day off calmly and confidently. As you browse through the library, you’ll get an idea of which ones are best for your child. Then…

Choose a script. Read it to yourself first to find the rhythm.
Make sure your child is comfortable, relaxed, and calm.
Choose a time when you have your child’s attention and they are open to a new experience.
Find a place free from distractions or loud noises.
Read the script to your child in a calm, soothing voice, pausing often. Notice how your child relaxes and engages.
If your child is still awake when you’ve finished, allow them to reflect and share their thoughts with you.

Choose (or have your child choose) from the scripts below. You can read it as a PDF from your phone or tablet. Or print them and keep next to your child’s favorite books.
