Frequently asked questions and answers

Aumio is a mindfulness and sleep app for children. Through mindful storytelling and playful exercises we empower children to grow up healthy, confident and less stressed.

Aumio introduces children to the topic of mindfulness in a playful way. More than 18 hours of child-friendly listening experiences in form of meditations, relaxation and sleep stories, but also dream sounds and yoga journeys for kids are waiting to be discovered. In each story, children go together with the space creature Aumio on an exploration tour through their inner cosmos. Each galaxy is about a special feeling or challenge that children learn to deal with here.

Aumio is for all children aged 0-99. When developing our content, we focused specifically on children between the ages of 3-12. However, this does not exclude younger and older children from using it. Find out if your child likes Aumio by trying out our free stories and exercises.

Half of all mental health problems originate in those under the age of 14. Learning the techniques of mindfulness at an early age helps children grow up healthy and internally strengthened in a very fundamental way. This strength also prevents them from suffering from depression or anxiety in the course of their life.

However, mindfulness does not only have a long-term effect, but is already noticeable in everyday life. Among other things, Aumio helps children to deal with strong emotions such as anger, fear or shyness, to concentrate or to fall asleep better.  Does any of this apply? Then simply try it out!

Sure! Parents often have exciting conversations with their children after a mission with Aumio. Parents not only learn something about mindfulness and their own feelings, but also get to know their own children from a completely new perspective.

Our world is becoming faster and more stressful. So many stimuli are pouring unfiltered onto children. Learning strategies early on to find peace and quiet helps to deal with this. But particularly also in order not to lose contact with our feelings and thoughts in the face of all the external noise. We experience that especially children are very open and receptive to the ideas of mindfulness. It is in their nature to explore the world alertly and playfully. Aumio encourages this curiosity! And redirects it to get to know themselves a little better.

Sometimes it takes more than one attempt. If your child tends to react negatively to direct suggestions from you, try something a little more restrained. Simply play the app on his or her cell phone and let him or her try it out – without us parents and without any pressure. This freedom of choice often already helps and most children have become Aumio fans after all. (You do not always want to listen to your parents – that’s annoying at some point ;))

We protect your privacy and do not ask for data from your children. To use Aumio, you do not have to create an account, enter an e-mail address or enter a password. The entry of a user name is just as voluntary as the information about your child’s age. We evaluate pseudonymously how long Aumio is generally used on smartphones and which exercises are chosen. However, no direct individual conclusions about you as an Aumionauti are possible.

Not necessarily. With an Aumio subscription, you can download all missions – even complete courses – to your device and listen to them offline. So the journey can continue even in wireless holes!
