A book for parents & teachers
Help Kids Feel Safe, Steady, and Connected to the Earth
50 guided lessons blending breathwork, movement, and nature exploration — for parents and teachers who want calmer, more grounded kids.
By Darci Burke & Heather Speth
Today's Kids Are Overstimulated — and It Shows
Fast-paced schedules, screens, and constant stimulation make it hard for many children to feel settled, focused, and secure in their own bodies. Grounded offers a gentle, practical path back to steadiness — through breath, movement, emotional awareness, imagination, kindness, gratitude, and time in nature.
50 Lessons, Arranged Through the Seasons
Each lesson pairs a simple somatic practice with a nature exploration designed to spark curiosity and wonder.
Notice and regulate their breath
Build awareness of their bodies and emotions
Practice kindness, gratitude, and imagination
Connect with the natural world through all seasons
Explore somatic practices rooted in wonder and play
Develop a sense of inner safety and calm resilience
What Parents & Educators Are Saying
Grounded gives teachers exactly what they need — clear, accessible lessons that children genuinely respond to. We've seen a real shift in how kids handle big emotions.
I bought this for our family and now we use it every Sunday morning. My 7-year-old actually asks for 'the nature lesson.' I can't recommend it enough.
The seasonal structure is genius. The lessons feel timely and alive — never rote. This is the mindfulness curriculum I have been looking for for years.
