Meditation to help your kids thrive

zivaKIDS is the most powerful and entertaining meditation training available for kids.

The skills children learn will change their brains forever, wiring them for resilience, emotional intelligence and kindness. After they learn, they can use these tools on their own — no screens required.

  • Cultivate emotional resilience

    Help your child recognize and process their emotions now — plus give them to tools to handle them in the moment.

  • Practice anywhere, anytime

    During a test, at the doctors, before a sports game — your child will trust that they can do hard things on their own.

  • Raise the happiest kid you know

    Teach them young that their bliss and fulfillment lives inside of them… and show them how to access it.

Seeing her learn such a valuable skill and bonding through the zivaKIDS practice has been amazing for our relationship.

What will meditation do for your family?

Take a moment to imagine a world where…

  • The stress of school and socializing doesn’t sink your kid into anxiety and self-doubt.
  • Your children are deeply forgiving and kind to themselves.
  • They can confidently navigate the pressures of performance and perfection.
  • You can go to bed knowing that you’ve given your kids a gift that will serve them well for the rest of their lives.
  • The whole family has the tools to stress less and enjoy more. Play more. Be more.

It’s all possible. Stress is the problem. zivaKIDS is the solution.

    zivaKIDS is more valuable than anything else you could give your kids. It will teach presence, connection, attunement, empathy… This is what your kids needs from you.

  • Jen Brown

    Naturopathic Doctor

    We appreciate now having a word to call out the negative feelings: “stormies.” It reminds the kids that it is something that will pass and that they know tools to help them.

  • Dr. Elisa Song

    zivaKIDS will help your kids be better at whatever they love — lacrosse, violin, art, because it’s not just the mindset that this helps, it’s the physiological readiness to be your best.

A letter from Emily

For years people have been asking me to create a meditation solution for kids. Once people experience the power of Ziva, they usually want to share the goodness with the most important people in their life: their kids.

Once I became a mom, I realized how hard it is to see your child struggling. I couldn’t find anything out there that felt powerful or effective enough for my son Jasper. There also wasn’t anything entertaining enough to hold his interest.

And thus zivaKIDS was born. By bringing on child psychologists, a holistic pediatrician, writers and puppeteers from Sesame Street, we created a program fun enough to make kids want to watch again, but that won’t tether them to a screen every time they meditate.

I’ve taught over 50,000 people the Ziva Technique, helping them to sleep better, feel less anxious, more resilient and enjoy life so much more. And now I’m ready to train your child.

Let’s get kids back to the business of being kids.
