Finding sessions for kids
Once you're in the Smiling Mind App, it's easy to see what content has been designed for kids—it's colour-coded in yellow! You can also add a filter to automatically show kids content on the home page and when using the explore bar. Simply avigate to your app settings and select show content for 'Kids'. Speaking of the explore bar, this feature can help you to easily find content based on any needs or concerns present in the moment. Try typing in a word like 'worry', 'calm' or 'sleep' to see relevant sessions.
