RevKids Gentle Kids Meditations Playlist
Why Gentle Bible Meditations for Kids?
There have been many nights when I’ve read all the books, sung all the songs, prayed, and tiptoed out of my son’s room only to hear “MOM!” a few seconds later.
On those nights, when my son needs more time to process the day or just a longer runway for sleep, I love to turn on RevKids Gentle Bible Meditations.
After giving the Ten Commandments, Moses instructs the Israelites:
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-9, emphasis mine)
Likewise, Psalm 1:1-2 says, “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”
In the Bible, we are commanded to meditate on the law of God, the Word of God, and instruct our children in the Word. Meditating on God’s Word isn’t just a morning practice. For as much as we’re surrounded by the lies and temptations of this world, we need to be reflecting on the wisdom and words of God.
There are countless ways parents can sow the Word of God in their children’s hearts. The RevKids Gentle Bible Meditations are one tool in the toolbelt.
I love that they are short, imaginative, and incorporate both Scripture and calming techniques in an audio format.
Each episode is a cue for him to remember God upon his bed, and meditate on Him in the watches of the night (Psalm 63:5).
How to Use Gentle Bible Meditations for Kids on Yoto
If you YOTO YOU KNOW. There are so many benefits of a Yoto player! Here are my three favorite benefits and tips to incorporate the RevKids Gentle Meditations into your nighttime routine.
1. Screen-Free Imagination
When you’re trying to help your little one get ready for bed, the last thing you want to do is have your phone out to find calming music or a calming podcast.
When you link the RevKids Gentle Bible Meditation playlist to your MYO card, you can help your child relax without the distraction of a phone. The Yoto Player can sit at their bedside as they listen to the playlist and drift off to sleep.
2. Fosters Independence
Not only are there bedtime meditations on this playlist, but there are also episodes made especially for daytime or moments when kids’ emotions get big.
When your child recognizes they need help calming down, they can find the RevKids Gentle Bible Meditations Card and put it into the player themselves. Over time, they can grow in emotional regulation and honest prayer with God.
3. Seamless Routines
The last thing you need during a long bedtime routine is another task to remember. But, the Yoto has become such a seamless tool in many of our routines.
In the evening, we’ll listen to a few minutes of a Bible story as we clean the kitchen, use the 5-minute Tidy-Up Timer in the living room, and bring the player into my son’s room to use as a wake-up clock and for quiet listening after stories and songs.
