Russell Simmons has it all figured out, the key to calm kids is meditation.

Do you meditate? I do sometimes, really every once in a while, but when I do it helps so much. I can imagine the difference it would make on a child.

Russell says that his daughters are able to focus on their education and he is able to get by in a stressful world. Maybe that's why it was so easy for him to agree to pay the $40,000 in child support, well that and the fact that he loves his daughters.

Did you know that he works with the David Lynch Foundation to promote meditation in schools, that's great.

He said, "I'm a meditator. I operate most days from my meditation. It gives me the strength to function when the outside world is full of stress. It's much easier. My children are meditators. It's changed their life. And I want to give this gift that has helped my kids to all kids... Schools are almost like prison when you don't get kids to focus on what's inside... To promote quiet time in schools where some of the worst schools become the best. These million kids that we will teach to meditate, I'm very happy to be supporting it."

I think that is awesome, I'm going to go meditate now, I'm inspired.
