Ideal for kids aged 7 – 10
Mindful Powers™ is designed to be a part of your child’s daily routine. It is simple, easy, and fun to use, so kids can pick it up and use it at any point in their day. The two key features are:
• Mindful Play | voice-guided mindfulness sessions
• Focus Time | a task timer
Mindful play:
Through a series of 10 progressive and interactive voice-guided sessions, 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 lesson, 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.
Focus time:
The Flibbertigibbet™ self-set timer helps kids set mental parameters around a given task by applying focus time until completion. When the focus timer is on, Mindful Powers™ deters kids from using the device for any other purpose, encouraging them to work towards completing their tasks.
Mindful Powers helps grow the following skills:
• Calmness & relaxation
• Stress & anxiety reduction
• Concentration & focus
• Navigating big emotions
• Getting along with others
“Mindful Powers™ is not a cookie cutter approach to mindfulness. Based on contextual behavioral science and inspired by an approach to therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, it recognizes that the mindfulness experience is a psychological experience that can be learned in small bits and gradually presented and trained.”
— Dr. Roger Vilardaga, Assistant Professor at Duke University

Ratings and Reviews
Highly recommend this app!
My son’s caseworker suggested this app for my daughter with anxiety. She loves it! However we were surprised that you have to pay $4.99 for the next level. I wish that was mentioned in the app beforehand so we knew what we were downloading; but this app is super worth $4.99! The only issue I’m having is that it crashes everytime I try to pay it. I’ve submitted two payments of $4.99 and each time it tells me I have to pay to go to the next level. I’ve tried restarting my phone but I’m just scared that it took my money and won’t let me move on to the next level. I’ve tried googling customer service for this app so we can make our payment and move on to the next level but this seems to be the only way to share what’s going on. That is the only reason I gave it four stars because I’m not able to pay for the next level. Other than that, I highly recommend this app if you can make a payment lol It’s worth it!

It looks your payment issue may have something to do with the Apple system. If the purchase did go through, you can restore it by taking the following steps:
1. From the main screen tap the “menu” button in the upper right-hand corner
2. Tap the “More Stories” button
3. Tap the “Restore purchases” button — IAP will automatically be restored
Please note that when you purchase the remaining seven stories within the Mindful 101 story pack, the un-played lessons will remain locked in the story tracker. The application requires you to listen to the Mindfulness 101 stories sequentially in order to unlock them all. This is by design, it enables kids to progressively learn mindfulness in bite size pieces. Please see the Parents section within the application for more information.
If you find that IAP did not go through when you try restoring the IAP purchase, it will mean that the purchase did not go through initially. All purchases are handled by Apple, so if you continue to have this issue you’ll want to consult Apple Support. https://support.apple.com/
Well worth a few dollars!!!
I’m extremely disappointed to be reading the comments of all the people who complained that this app once cost money. Does anyone have no idea what it takes to build an app like this?? After my daughter got through all the unlocked levels I was HAPPY to pay for the rest of the locked ones and shocked to see that you now can unlock them for $0.00. It bothered me so much that I wasn’t paying for something this well made, I went to read in the reviews to see if there were any clues as to why this was. I’m not sure if it had anything to do with it, but all the entitled comments demanding that it should be free almost made me need to use this app to chill back out!! To all the developers and creators and people who worked tirelessly on this app, thank you for making it, and I wish there was some way I could have repaid you for doing so because it truly is a fantastic piece of work and you deserve to be compensated for it, no questions asked.
Great Game!
I love this game I have never been so mindful. It helps you stay focused on what you are doing,I was having a hard time at school but this fixed it. I am now a honor student in my school.
But like almost every thing it does have a down side you have to pay to play the game. You play the first three for free but the rest of the game YOU have to pay. But this totally works!👍

Congrats on being an honor student Unimedoday! Flibbertigibbet is thrilled to learn that you have never been so mindful and that the app helps you stay more focused, and so are we!
We'd like to address your feedback on cost: The Mindful Powers team, consisting of strategists, designers, developers, and youth experts spent over a year developing, testing, and validating the program, so we hope that the price reflects the depth of the experience. We understand that not everyone enjoys paying for apps, but the price reflects well over an hour's worth of highly curated content designed to calm negative emotions. :D
