Smiling Mind

Smiling Mind is the only completely free, evidence-based mindfulness app designed by psychologists specifically for children and adolescents, already implemented in 80,000+ schools across Australia and New Zealand. Its age-appropriate programs cater to users from age 7 through adulthood, a range that is 60% broader than the typical rival’s focus on teens only. With 10 million global downloads, it offers structured courses covering emotions, sleep, and focus, each backed by clinical trials showing measurable improvements in well-being. Unlike Plum Village, which emphasizes Buddhist teachings, Smiling Mind delivers secular, school-friendly content without any commercialization or data monetization. This makes it uniquely trustworthy for parents and educators seeking a safe, research-validated tool for children.
