Mindful Powers Overview


What is Mindful Powers? Mindful Powers™ is a mindfulness app designed for children aged 7-10. It offers voice-guided mindfulness sessions and a task timer to help children build a healthier relationship with life, stress, and anxiety. The app is built on a skills-based approach that empowers kids to bring calm to their lives at the touch of their fingertips. Mindful Powers™ is simple, easy, and fun to use, making it a part of your child's daily routine.



Features


- Mindful Play: The app offers a series of 10 progressive and interactive voice-guided sessions that help kids learn how to master the powers of mindfulness. Before each lesson, kids soothe their very own Flibbertigibbet™, who is in an agitated state, with the touch of their finger. This sensory-based repetitive interaction triggers the body's rest and digest response, helping kids relax and regain focus.

- Focus Time: The Flibbertigibbet™ self-set timer helps kids set mental parameters around a given task by applying focus time until completion. When the focus timer is on, Mindful Powers™ deters kids from using the device for any other purpose, encouraging them to work towards completing their tasks.

- Skills Development: Mindful Powers™ helps grow skills such as calmness and relaxation, stress and anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, navigating big emotions, and getting along with others.

- Award-Winning: Mindful Powers™ has won several awards, including The Davey Awards, The W3 Awards, and Kidscreen Awards 2019.

- Developed with Expert Consultation: The content and lessons included in Mindful Powers™ were developed in consultation with Dr. Roger Vilardaga, a Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor at Duke University's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.

- In-App Purchases: Please note that In-App Purchases are not included in Family Sharing. If you have the app installed on multiple devices, you will need to be signed into iTunes using the account that made the initial purchase in order for your Story Pack In-App Purchases to carry over. You also have the option of downloading the paid version: Mindful Powers™ edu, which is compatible with Family Sharing (and does not have IAP).

Well worth a few dollars!!!

I’m extremely disappointed to be reading the comments of all the people who complained that this app once cost money. Does anyone have no idea what it takes to build an app like this?? After my daughter got through all the unlocked levels I was HAPPY to pay for the rest of the locked ones and shocked to see that you now can unlock them for $0.00. It bothered me so much that I wasn’t paying for something this well made, I went to read in the reviews to see if there were any clues as to why this was. I’m not sure if it had anything to do with it, but all the entitled comments demanding that it should be free almost made me need to use this app to chill back out!! To all the developers and creators and people who worked tirelessly on this app, thank you for making it, and I wish there was some way I could have repaid you for doing so because it truly is a fantastic piece of work and you deserve to be compensated for it, no questions asked.

Mindfulness works.

Therapists who know me well know my thoughts on using screens in therapy with children. I don’t, as in NEVER, until today. I have been desperate to incorporate mindfulness with a child who’s experienced more trauma in life than many adults. Solely auditory mindfulness apps weren’t cutting it. Mindful Powers incorporates auditory, visual, and kinesthetic senses. It educates the kid on mindfulness and the brain in very kid-friendly terms and how it relates to emotional regulation. It asks you do manipulate the screen, and if you are going too fast, it will not move on until you slow down! The music and visuals are SLOW and calming. This kid was engrossed in this task for >20 min, and after weeks of regression and avoiding participation, I saw smiles, increased interaction, and increased frustration tolerance. Guess who got some extra OT homework?! 😍 Oh, and it also has a visual “focus timer!”

Exactly what my daughter needed

I absolutely love this app! My ten year old daughter was experiencing some breakthrough anxiety during the transition back to school, and this is the perfect tool to teach her calming techniques. The voice is very soothing and friendly, and the information is presented in a very clear, very easy to digest way. Super relaxing and effective. Thank you :)
