Super Chill Helps Kids Discover Their Inner Strength – and Brings Families Closer
Parents, children, and experts share how the Super Chill app helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and strengthen family bonds.
More Relaxed Together: Why More Families Are Choosing Super Chill
More and more families in Germany are discovering Super Chill – the free, ad-free app offering children short, playful exercises to help relieve stress and better regulate emotions like anger or fear.
Created by a nonprofit organization, Super Chill aims to build mental strength for all children – regardless of income.
The exercises are designed to work instantly – even for parents who’ve never tried yoga or mindfulness. Christine, a mother of two, says:
“I’ve never tried yoga or mindfulness before. But a friend recommended Super Chill – and we loved it from the start.”
Erik, father of Helena (9), shares:
“My daughter often had stomach aches in the evening. The doctor didn’t find anything physical. Super Chill really helped us.”

“I Feel Calmer Afterward” – Kids Speak for Themselves
Kids intuitively know when something helps them – and often describe it more honestly than adults. Super Chill gives them simple rituals to calm down after a tough school day or emotional moments.
“After the exercise, my head feels emptier because I’m more relaxed and forget about school stuff.”
– Máxima (11)
“I do the exercises when I’m angry or sad. Then I feel calm again.”
– Wilhelmina (9)

“I put my hand on my heart, think of a wish, and the bird takes it away. Then my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore.”
– Marlene (9)
Parents Feel the Benefits – Instantly and Long-Term
The exercises bring peace to kids’ rooms – and foster new closeness between parents and children. For many families, they’ve become a loving daily ritual.
“You can just say: Let’s do a quick exercise – and a few minutes later, everything’s fine again.”
– Christine

“We can’t afford a yoga teacher every evening. But Super Chill is free – and we’re getting to know each other better.”
– Erik
Super Chill Is a Foundation – So It Can Help All Kids
Super Chill is intentionally set up as a foundation to stay neutral and independent. The idea: kids don’t need an app forever – just long enough to learn.
“The idea behind Super Chill is: if you do these exercises two or three times, you won’t need them anymore. At first you do – but that’s how you learn.”
– Niki Schilling, Founder
