Questions? Let us Help!
What is a "Pause?"
A Pause is a bite-size mindfulness activity that children can do anytime, anywhere. Panda has six types of Pauses – Calm, Focus, Move, Love, Sleep and Smart Heart. We’ve created each type of Pause based on the fundamentals of mindfulness.
Is Panda made for a specific age?
Panda is designed for kids ages 3+ but it can be enjoyed by any age group – even adults!
Do I have to pay for the app separately?
No, when you buy a Panda you get free lifetime access to Panda’s current and future content. We know that a lot of companies love subscriptions these days, but not every parent.
Backed by Experts & Families
Dr. Meghan Starner, MD, Child PsychiatristPause with Panda teaches children strategies that I've found to be helpful with reducing anxiety. These are skills that if learned early can help them throughout their lives.
National Parent Product AwardsThe quality of the content is great. There is over 2 hours of content and it’s a diverse set ranging from focus, movement, calm down, and more. The voice is pleasant and speaks at a nice pace. Overall, this is a nice companion to help kids take a break and regulate their emotions themselves without the use of screens.
Nadine, Mom of NateI've tried many things to help ease my son's anxiety at bedtime and Panda is the first thing that has actually helped.
Sara Martinez, Mindful Child Initiative Co-Executive DirectorWhat an amazing product!!! Panda uses simple, age- appropriate language to prompt and teach children important mindfulness skills! It’s a wonderful resource for an individual child and can also definitely be used in a group setting such as a classroom. I’m so glad that I was introduced to Pause with Panda! 💚
Riley, A Fantastic KidFor me, as a kid, Panda helps me when I need to calm down.

My son was starting to feel anxious going to school so we've been doing pauses at night and they've really helped him - especially fall asleep. I try not to fall asleep listening to them too, but it's hard!- Dianna R.

I'm an anxious person so naturally my daughter is too. We've found panda to be really helpful when she feels overwhelmed and just needs to chill out for a little. I really like that it has an app that we can listen to the exercises in case we don't have panda with us. really happy with it.- Kathleen K.

I got this as a gift for my nephew who has autism. He loves how soft it is and that he can control when and how to use it. He likes to bring it to his "calming corner". He really loves panda!- Dara M.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating panda! My daughter Juliet woke up at 5 am, anxious and wanted to know where mommy was. My wife was in our son’s room trying to get him to go back to bed. I had Juliet lay down on my wife’s side of the bed and we used a sleep pause. Next thing I know she’s sleeping peacefully. I have never, and I mean NEVER been able to get her mind to slow down and get her back to sleep once she’s up in the morning. You’ve created something truly wonderful, and I can’t wait to tell folks about it!- Paul K.

I just wanted to say how much Cora uses panda. She’s been having a lot of anxiety lately and it’s so nice to be able to give her panda when I leave her room at night. She doesn’t feel alone and she knows she has something to help her. 💜- Erin H.
Encourage Self-Regulation
Children can access a Pause whenever they want or need to – without the assistance of an adult. Perfect for in the middle of the night when they might need a little comfort (and you might need a lot of sleep).
Pause with Panda Teaches Kids to:
-
Self-Regulate and Find Calm
-
Improve Focus & Awareness
-
Foster a Mind-Body Connection
-
Express Kindness & Compassion
Build Habits Together
Emotional tools aren’t just for children. When families practice taking Pauses together, they help to encourage calm and resilient environments. Personalize Panda’s app to remind you of times you might want to talk a Pause like at bedtime.
Customization at Your Fingertips
