Price $36.99
Age 3-12 yrs.

In addition to being cute and cuddly as all get-out, this interactive stuffed elephant does kids and parents the invaluable service of engaging youngsters in meditations through which they learn how to self-regulate, self-soothe and cultivate a positive mindset. The three different guided meditations activated by pressing OMI's corresponding paws (a 90-second daily mindfulness meditation, 90-second sad/mad reset, and a 30-second reset) use language and express concepts that are smartly tailored to a child's perspective, a kid-friendly approach that enables even very young children to experience a great many benefits. Pressing the remaining paw causes 3 minutes of deliciously relaxing music to play, a wonderful inclusion. The guided, breath-focused meditations, delivered in a sweet-sounding child's voice, help youngsters learn to identify what emotions they are feeling in any given moment, a practice that powerfully promotes the development of emotional intelligence and self-awareness. It is never too early to learn to stop, breathe and restore your sense of well-being even in difficult moments, and OMI the Elephant, as it turns out, is quite the teacher!
