Made with a 9-year-old, for 9-year-olds
Mindful M3 is co-created with my 9-year-old daughter. She pressure-tests every routine in real life—morning rush, recess conflicts, homework time, bedtime wind-down—so the language lands, the timing fits, and the visuals invite kids to join in. This is a curriculum designed with children, not merely for them.
