What’s It About?
RISE LITTLE EARTHLING: THE PODCAST provides mindfulness activities for kids from birth through toddlerhood. Lights, an award-winning Canadian singer, guides listeners through affirmations, breathing techniques, and stretching exercises. The episodes geared toward infants guide parents on how to hold their babies and the language to use with their tiny ones, while episodes designed for toddlers talk directly to the kids.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
