What is Headspace: Mindful Meditation?

The app is a library of guided meditations that take only a few minutes of the day to complete. These meditations are created to help instill a sense of focus and mental well-being.
The basic version of the app is free to use and includes sessions on the basics of meditation and mindfulness. The subscription to the premium version costs $12.99 monthly or $94.99 for a yearly subscription, which includes the entire Headspace library of over 30 packs of meditations with various themes, mini-meditations, sleep sounds, and dozens of quick exercises to increase daily mindfulness.

Is Headspace: Mindful Meditation safe for my kids?
The Headspace app is safe for users of all ages. Additionally, the meditation and library content is not only safe, but relaxing and valuable for anyone that faces stress.
There are no features which could introduce kids to public chats and strangers, nor otherwise inappropriate content. However, one feature that's important for parents to keep an eye on and discuss with kids using Headspace is the availability of the in-app purchase to subscribe to premium.
The basic version, while very valuable in itself, is limited, and users often want to access more content, so it is important that parents have a conversation with kids about the ground rules for making in-app purchases without permission to avoid any unexpected expenses.
Headspace can truly help users explore techniques for meditation and mindfulness that are beneficial to everyone, from high level professionals to kids.
