Kids Manage Stress with ‘I Am Present’ App

Many families across the country are now homeschooling kids, and it can make anyone feel overwhelmed, but there’s an app that might be able to bring some calmness back to kids’ routines.

The Inner Explorer app, called I Am Present, is designed for families to manage the sudden stress brought on by COVID-19. Kids use the app to practice mindfulness through guided breathing exercises. Kids enhance their focus and understand social and emotional learning techniques.

Available in English and Spanish, the app is an extension of an audio program from Inner Explorer that has been used in more than 30,000 classrooms.

I Am Present is currently free for all families. Parents can learn more and download it here.

As a kid, Nicole either wanted to be a professional toy player-wither or a writer. Somehow, as social media editor for The Toy Insider, The Toy Book, and The Pop Insider, she’s found a career as both. She's grateful to work somewhere that she can fully embrace both her love of teddy bears and her admiration for the Oxford comma. When she's not playing with toys at work, she's playing with her baby girl at home.
