The Fall semester is here, and with it comes change and a new family routine. As each day brings a new challenge, you and your children can have one reliable source of comfort as you incorporate the Young Living products throughout your day.
The best part is that you can be sure, as a parent, whatever Young Living products you use with your children are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic ingredients, food coloring and other harmful toxins. If you're a label reader, than I encourage you to read the labels and decide for yourself if the ingredients are ones you desire your children to have access to.
I believe that you and your family will benefit greatly by incorporating these products into your daily regiment. By teaching children natural health solutions at a young age, you are empowering them and leaving them with a legacy of health and wellness that will benefit their lives for years to come.
KIDSCENTS
This is the product line specifically formulated by Young Living for children. The essential oil blends of Owie, SniffleEase, GeneYus, SleepyEyes, TummyGize, and KidPower are fabulous for at home use, on the go, and at school.
If you've never used the KidScents oils then I recommend the KidScents Roll-On Collection. Check out the video above for some simple tips on how to use each one. Each of these blends also comes individually in the 10ml roll-on and the 5ml bottle with the dropper top.
There's also a full line of supplements including, MightyPro probiotics, MightyZyme Chewable enzymes, MightyVites Chewable vitamins and Unwind for helping with relaxing before bedtime. It's exciting to know that there are solutions for everyday supplementation as well.
As you may know, there can be LOTS of chemicals and toxins lurching on the counter, under the sink, in the drawers and behind the shower curtain in your child's bathroom. It's time to say bye-bye to fake fragrances, dyes, parabenes, phalates, etc, and just get back to nature.
Young Living's alternatives include KidScents® Shampoo, KidScents® Bath Gel, and KidScents Lotion. Plus, the bathroom regiment isn't complete without a good teeth brushing session with KidScents® Toothpaste. Hallelujah for toothpaste that is formulated without fluoride, SLS, synthetic dyes, peroxide, gluten-containing ingredients, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Yay!!!
Are inspired knowing that there are wonderful natural solutions available for you and your children? Are you ready to go all the way? If so, keep reading. I'd like to share with your a morning till night regimen that can easily be tailored to your family's needs. At the end, I'd love to offer my support in helping you come up with your own personalized wellness subscription so that you're getting all the products you need each month delivered right to your doorstep.
Let's get started!

From Morning Till Night: regimens you can tailor for your children’s needs as well as parents and teachers
MORNING REGIMEN
Now that you’re ready to get the day off to a great start, here are a few ideas for nutrition and complete body support.
1) Start off with a nutritious breakfast!
Young Living provides great breakfast options using Einkorn flour like Einkorn Flakes Cereal, Einkorn Granola, and Einkorn Pancakes or waffles. They even offer a gluten-free Pancake mix! Einkorn is an ancient grain that has higher levels of protein, trace minerals, and lower gluten levels than hybridized, modern wheat.
2) Give them their vitamins, pre/probiotics, and enzymes
Add in KidScents MightyPro as a deliciously flavored prebiotic and probiotic. Gut health is important for healthy emotions and the ability to absorb nutrients.
Are you worried that your kids aren’t eating enough veggies? We have you covered. Young Living vitamins are formulated without the dyes and synthetic ingredients found in your typical kid vitamin.
Kidscents MightyVites chewables - MightyVites benefit from Orgen-kids®, a nutrient-dense, food-based superfruit, plant, and vegetable complex. Free of preservatives and artificial colors and flavors, these delicious, berry-flavored chewables give your children full nutritional support.
MightyZyme chewables contain enzymes that naturally occur in the body to support and assist the digestive needs of growing bodies and the normal digestion of foods.
- Take 1 tablet, three times daily prior to or with meals.
- Use these chewables for relief of occasional symptoms including fullness, pressure, bloating, stuffed feeling (commonly referred to as gas), pain and/or minor cramping that may occur after eating.
3) Plus, children and adults LOVE NingXia Red!
NingXia Red is packed with superfoods to support overall wellness. This antioxidant-packed drink supports energy levels, normal cellular function, and whole-body and normal eye health. A daily shot of 2–4 ounces helps support overall wellness with powerful antioxidants.* Smaller children can experience great results with just 1-2 ounces a day.
BEFORE SCHOOL PREP
For a confidence booster, have your child try a few drops of KidPower essential oil blend. This one is great to rub on the back of the neck and wrists and inhale. Encourage them to stand up tall, put on a big smile, and remember that they are ‘one of a kind’.
Need help studying? GeneYus to the rescue! This one is great to apply on the back of the neck and inhale as you say positive affirmation with your child.
“I am blessed” . . . “I am smart” . . . “I am a fast learner” . . . “I enjoy learning new things” . . . “I am creative and I dream big”
Trying to keep away the sniffles? SniffleEase is a gentle blend of Eucalyptus, Palo Santo, R.C.™, and other premium essential oils. SniffleEase has an aroma that helps ease feelings of discomfort and supports the feeling of normal, clear breathing. It is great to apply on the neck and chest area, as well as inhaling deeply.
USING OILS IN THE CLASSROOM
Depending on the schooling situation, some children have access to essential oils during the school day. More and more schools and teachers are catching on to the positive effects of essential oils and are getting educated about their uses. If you’re wanting to send oils to school with your child then you may want to check in with the school ahead of time.
Some schools allow oils to be kept in the child’s locker and accessed during breaks. Some require the school nurse to keep all “medicines” in the office. Some teachers are allowed to diffuse oils before, during or after class hours and are seeing great results with increased focus and less absences from illness.
One of the easiest ways for a child to have access to their favorite scent it to wear a diffuser bracelet or necklace. Essential oil roll-ons are another easy way for a child to use oils, but in in small amounts. Teach children to be respectful of others and not misuse the oils or apply them to other students without permission.
Popular oils for focus include: KidScents GeneYus, Lemon, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Brain Power, Believe, Highest Potential.
Play around with with oils are most effective with your child. Sometimes you will know because of their reaction to the smell, and other times it’s a change in demeanor and attitude, alertness and focus.
THE TEACHER’S CORNER
Diffusing is the easiest way for a teacher, whether homeschooling or in a private or public school setting, to effectively use essential oils to enhance the classroom experience. By diffusing, even when students are not in the room, a teacher can create a welcoming atmosphere that students will subconsciously recognize.
Peace & Calming is a great blend that helps promote peace and a calm atmosphere amongst students and staff.
Joy is a great blend to diffuse when spirits are down and y’all need a little pick-me-up in the attitude department.
Peppermint promotes a sense of mental alertness and focus, and is uplifting emotionally. (Studies have been done to show that test scores increase in classrooms that diffuse peppermint).
Thieves® essential oil is a legendary blend of the purifying essential oils of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary, known for refreshing breathing experiences aromatically and topically.* This is a great one to startle year out with in the classroom as well as at home to support overall wellness and a healthy immune system.
PLAYTIME, SPORTS, ADVENTURES R US
We want children to be adventurous, right? Just how adventurous is up to each little mind and your parental discretion. The thing is, no matter how “safe” of an environment you create for your child, it’s simply inevitable that there will be bruises, scrapes and scratches, twisted ankles and and owies. Plus a few tears, and hopefully, a LOT of laughter.
When roughhousing goes wrong, reach for KidScents® Owie™. Carry in your purse or backpack to apply when accidents happen. Owie is a soothing blend of Idaho Grand Fir, Tea Tree, Helichrysum, Elemi, Cistus, Hinoki, and Clove essential oils. Simply apply on location and reapply as needed.
Cool Azul® Sports Gel is a non-sticky, aloe-based formula that helps cool and soothe tired muscles when combined with massage after physical activity.
For the adults and the children: Cool Azul® Pain-Relief Cream offers fast-acting relief from minor muscle and joint aches with the aromatic combination of Wintergreen premium essential oil and Young Living's exclusive Cool Azul premium essential oil blend.
Need to get rid of icky odors? Thieves Spray is a great addition to your stock of “cleaning supplies”. A few spritzes inside those stinky shoes or football helmet does the trick. It’s also great for things like cleaning your steering wheel, straying on toilet seats and door handles (then wipe clean with a cry or damp towel).
Sniffles be gone! Gesundheit! When sniffles and stuffiness hamper your little one, reach for the relaxing, quieting aroma of KidScents® SniffleEase™. A gentle blend of Eucalyptus, Palo Santo, R.C.™, and other premium essential oils, SniffleEase has an aroma that helps ease feelings of discomfort and supports the feeling of normal, clear breathing. This is also a great blend in the case that your child comes inside with the sniffles after rolling around in the grass or loving on the family pet (can you read between the lines).
Being out in the sun certainly helps children have a positive attitude, although too much sun exposure and you may be hearing about it later. The Lavender After Sun Spray is a great go-to for soothing the skin after a little too long outdoors. Plus, just your pure Lavender essential oil is soothing to the skin when applied topically or added to water and spritzed on (2 ounces water, 10-20 drops Lavender)
BED TIME ROUTINE
If you’re looking for ways to kick the toxins out of your bathroom, especially the ones your children are exposed to, then here are your solutions.
Bath time with KidScents Shampoo and KidScents Bath Gel, followed by KidScents lotion when needed to sooth dry skin. Scrub-a-dubb-dub! Now they are all clean Ono the outside.
Teeth brushing is the last frontier before jumping in to bed. KidScents® Toothpaste’s gentle cleaning ingredients help fight plaque, clean children’s teeth, and remove buildup to support healthy-looking gums—all while remaining fluoride and SLS free.
Upset tummy? A carefully blended combination of Ginger, Tangerine, Fennel, and other premium essential oils, TummyGize has a naturally comforting aroma that may help when dealing with tiny tummies.
SLEEPY TIME & SWEET DREAMS
After a full day, it’s time for a nice LONG nap. And all the parents shout HALLELUJAH!
Having a good bedtime routine is important. Children need structure, and especially when it comes to falling asleep. Their young minds need lots of time to process the day. Some children require a “relax and unwind” session before they are ready to actually fall asleep. This is when it’s helpful to have an essential oil diffuser in the bedroom. Applying oils topically to the feet and down the spine can be especially good too.
The exclusive and carefully formulated blend of Lavender, Geranium, Roman Chamomile, Bergamot and other premium essential oils in SleepyIze™ helps set the scene for a calm nighttime routine.
Lavender is another crowd favorite for helping to relax and calm. It is especially soothing to the skin
When unwanted dreams or fears of darkness become a hindrance to a good night sleep, the Dream Catcher essential oil blend is a good go to, along with prayer. This is also a good blend to help promote dreaming and is most affective when the dreamer says a short prayer to welcome heavenly dreams and resist all other influences.
