Mindfulness Apps
Headspace
Is a mediation app, to help with mindfulness for children and adults. It has videos, podcasts as well as guided exercises for meditation.
You can get 14 days free and there is a subscription element but its been helping me for a few years now.
​
Balance
An app based on providing audio meditation and guidance.
Last time I used this you could sign up for free for a year before needing to pay for anything.
​

Not one I have used personally but I many have recommended it.
