Frequently asked questions
What age is this suitable for?
This session is designed for children aged approximately 4 to 10 years, though many children outside this range enjoy it too. You know your child best. If you have any concerns about suitability, please consult your GP or health visitor.
Can this become part of our evening routine?
Yes — and many families find that is exactly where it fits most naturally. Playing it as part of a consistent wind-down routine can help children begin to associate listening with feeling calm and settled. Your session remains available in My Sage Space for as long as your entitlement is active.
Is this suitable after busy school days?
Yes. The Calm Cloud Journey was designed with exactly that in mind — helping children decompress and find a quieter gear after days that have been full, stimulating or emotionally tiring. It can be used after school, before dinner or as part of a bedtime wind-down.
Can my child listen regularly?
Yes. Regular listening is entirely appropriate and can help the sense of calm feel more familiar and easy to access over time. There is no set limit — use it as often as feels helpful for your child.
Should I stay with my child while they listen?
That is entirely up to you. Some parents sit quietly nearby, particularly the first time, while others leave their child to listen independently once they are familiar with the session. There is no requirement to stay — though your calm presence nearby can itself be reassuring for younger children.
