Mindful Powers
Through a series of progressive voice-guided stories, kids learn how to master the powers of mindfulness – the ability to know and understand what is happening in one’s head at any given moment without getting carried away by it. Before each story, kids sooth 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.
