Meditation/mindfulness that I could do alongside my 7yo

We could both do with calming our tempers and a bit of bonding. Any mindfulness or meditation programmes my 7 yo dd and I could do at home together?

My son (8) and I use an app called Headspace - really recommend it. Downside is that once you've done the basic programmes you have to subscribe for the full choice (9.99 p/m) but I liked it so much I went for it. It has a kids' section (can't remember if you have to subscribe for that bit), we do that and some of the 'adult' ones too. There's also some brilliant animations that are especially good (tho not exclusively aimed at) kids that explain how meditation works. My son has a stammer and it's really helped him think about his breathing. We tend to do it at night before bed and it also sends him (and often me) straight to sleep.

Btw, there's also programmes specifically for calming/anger/temper!

Headspace is excellent.
