Social-Emotional Learning
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process by which children and adults develop self-awareness, self-control, and vital interpersonal skills. Learning to manage feelings, respond positively to stressful situations, and interact with others is an important part of childhood development. Luna The Calming Kitty focuses on improving mindfulness, the ability to maintain awareness of our own thoughts in the present moment. Mindfulness helps children manage stress and anxiety and can also restore emotional balance. Mindfulness practices may include breathing exercises, like the ones encouraged by Luna, as well as meditation and other activities that focus on the present. The more children take part in these activities, the easier it will become to use them when needed in moments of stress and anxiety.

Get Started

Charge Luna by plugging the provided micro-USB cable into the micro-USB port on Luna’s back, and connect the other end to a USB-A port until Luna is charged.

• The LED light by the charging port will change from red to green when Luna is fully charged. Full charging takes about three hours.
• After being fully charged, Luna will provide about eight hours of active use before needing to be charged again. Luna will power off automatically after two minutes of inactivity.
• The red LED light will blink slowly when the battery is low.

Modes

Luna is programmed with two different modes: Night-light Mode (❊)and Mindfulness Mode ( • ). You can control the mode by using the three-position power switch on the base. Use Luna in Night-light Mode for children too young to do the breathing patterns, or for additional comfort at bedtime. When in night-light mode, use the three-position timer switch to set the night-light timer. You can choose 5, 15, or 30 minutes. When the time is up, the light will shut off and Luna will power down. There are five night-light color options to choose from: white, yellow, purple, green, and pink. To change the color of the night-light, press the button on Luna’s right foot. Each time you press Luna’s foot, you will see the next color. When in Mindfulness Mode, choose from three breathing activities by pushing the button on Luna’s right foot.

Breathing Activities

• Each breathing activity features a different color light so children can easily identify it: Triangle Breath (green), Rainbow Breath (pink), and Star Breath (yellow). Children follow the breathing patterns by watching Luna’s light turn on and fade: breathing in when the light is turning on, holding when the light is steady, and breathing out when the light fades.
• Luna will cycle through the steps of each breathing pattern a few times (see page 5). Once the entire breathing pattern is complete, Luna’s light will turn off. Push the button on Luna’s right foot to advance to the next breathing pattern.
• For extra sensory fun, children can trace their fingers along the included activity cards as they complete each breathing pattern. Each card is color-coded with Luna’s light colors for easy identification. Children can choose the breathing activity they like best to help restore their emotional balance.
