Bedtime Gratitude Meditation for Kids

Just like any life skill, gratitude needs practice to grow. This meditation helps kids reflect, appreciate, and end their day with a grateful heart, no matter the ups and downs. Through simple, guided questions, children are encouraged to think about moments that felt easy, made them smile, or a person they’re thankful for. Designed to be done daily, this meditation reminds kids that every day holds an abundance of things to be grateful for when we take the time to notice them. It also nurtures the skill of mindful appreciation, helping them grow with it as they age. Science shows gratitude can reduce stress, improve mood, and strengthen emotional resilience—so introducing this practice early is a gift for young, growing minds.
