“Wow… just wow!” 🤍

One of the things we love most about our training is the connection we build along the way.

During the course, our members are always invited to reach out, to share reflections, questions, or moments that truly land.

Recently, a student working through the module “Teaching with the Intuitive Heart” listened to a story about supporting a young boy in foster care who was struggling at school.

Their response?

✨ “Wow, just wow!”
— IP, Portugal

Sometimes there are no long explanations needed…
Just a moment of feeling something deeply.

Because this work isn’t just about learning techniques, it’s about opening the heart, trusting your intuition, and understanding children in a way that goes beyond words.

These are the moments that stay with you 🤍

Explore the Connected Kids Method of teaching children to teens mindful skills to support self-regulation - inc. neurodivergence and trauma

08/04/2026

Hello and welcome 🤍

I’m Lorraine, founder of Connected Kids and for over 20 years, I’ve been sharing meditation and mindful tools with children, teens, and the adults who support them.

My work began with a simple intention:
to help children feel calm, safe, and understood in a world that can often feel overwhelming.

Because many children today aren’t just “busy”, they’re navigating anxiety, sensory overload, and big emotions they don’t yet have the tools to manage.

Through the Connected Kids® Method, we focus on:

✨ gentle, child-led mindfulness
✨ trauma-sensitive approaches
✨ supporting neurodivergent children
✨ co-regulation before self-regulation

We believe mindfulness should meet children where they are not force them to fit into stillness.

Over the years, we’ve created a range of resources to support this work:

🌿 online courses for parents, educators, and practitioners
🌿 guided meditations and practical tools
🌿 books and training programmes
🌿 a global community supporting children’s wellbeing

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or simply someone who cares deeply about children, you’re so welcome here.

This space is here to support you as you support them.

The work we do with children is never just about today.

Every moment of connection…
Every tool we share…
Every time we help a child feel seen, safe, and understood…

We are shaping something far beyond the present.

When we teach children mindful skills, we’re not just helping them navigate a difficult moment we’re giving them tools they can carry for a lifetime.

And in doing so, we gently shape the future 🌿

Become a Professional Meditation Teacher for Children & Teens - We start next week.

Children today are growing up in a fast-paced, overstimulating world and many are carrying stress, anxiety, and overwhelm from a young age.
What they need isn’t more pressure…

They need safe, supportive tools to understand themselves.
And they need adults who know how to guide them.
If you’ve ever felt called to support children in a deeper way, this work matters.

Over the past 20 years, we’ve trained meditation teachers who are now supporting children, families, and communities around the world responding to a growing need for mindful, trauma-aware approaches.
This is especially important as awareness grows around Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impact on emotional wellbeing.

Our accredited Connected Kids® training offers you:

✨ the confidence to teach meditation to children and teens
✨ practical, adaptable tools for real-life situations
✨ a trauma-sensitive, child-led approach
✨ a supportive community to grow with
Because this isn’t just about teaching meditation…
It’s about helping children build self-care skills for life.

🌿 “I never thought I could teach meditation online. But Connected Kids gave me the tools, confidence, and community to thrive.”

If this path resonates with you, you’re warmly invited to explore more.

Sometimes children don’t need more words or instructions…
They need simple ways to settle their energy.

Hand mudras are a gentle, mindful tool that can help children feel more focused, calm, and grounded.

From an energetic perspective, mudras support the natural flow of energy through the body, helping to bring balance after a busy or overstimulating day.

They can be especially helpful when children are feeling:

✨ restless
✨ overwhelmed
✨ distracted
✨ full of excess energy

Even a few quiet moments using a simple hand position can help children reconnect with their breath and body.

These small practices can create a sense of calm, without needing to force stillness.

Sometimes the simplest tools are the most powerful 🤍

Save this to try after a busy day 🌿

You can find more tools on my book... Calm kids.

The Whole-Brain Child, a must-read for anyone supporting children 🤍

The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Proven Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind by Daniel J. Siegel

This book gently changes the way we understand children’s behaviour.

Instead of asking
“Why are they acting like this?”

We begin to ask:
“What’s happening in their brain right now?”

At its heart, this book reminds us:

✨ Children’s brains are still developing
✨ Big emotions are part of healthy growth
✨ Connection helps integrate the brain
✨ Behaviour is often communication

It offers simple, practical ways to support children through overwhelm, big feelings, and everyday challenges, while building emotional resilience.

For parents, educators, and anyone working with children, it’s a powerful reminder that:

Calm, connection, and understanding go much further than control.

If you want to better understand the mind behind behaviour, this is a beautiful place to start.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Daniel J. Siegel to explore the developing mind of a child and how connection, awareness, and understanding shape emotional wellbeing.

What we give our time, energy, and attention to… grows.

Not just in our lives but in our relationships, our wellbeing, and the children we support.

Small, consistent moments matter:
• a pause
• a breath
• a kind response instead of a reactive one

We don’t need to do everything perfectly.
We just need to keep showing up gently, and with intention.

Because what we nurture, flourishes 🤍

Save this as a reminder of where your energy is going today.

New Blog post: A Toddler Meditation ‘Game’ with Big Benefits Toddlers aren’t meant to sit still and meditate like adults.

But through playful mindfulness, they can begin developing the foundations of emotional resilience.

At this young age, mindful “games” can gently support:

✨ attention and concentration
✨ early emotional regulation
✨ a healthy outlet for energy
✨ social interaction and imitation

Mindfulness for toddlers isn’t really about calm.

It’s about helping children begin to understand their bodies, energy, and emotions.

Here’s one playful example you can try:

🌿 Peek-a-Boo Focus
Hide your face behind a piece of paper or your hands and play peek-a-boo together.
This simple game strengthens focus, social connection, and attention.

🌿 Sound Awareness
Invite your child to place their hands on their chest and make a gentle “Shhhh” or “Mmmm” sound.
Then pause and notice the quiet together.

These small playful moments help children:

• notice their body sensations
• regulate their breath and energy
• express emotions safely
• develop the focus needed for meditation later in life

Mindfulness for toddlers doesn’t need to be complicated.

Sometimes it simply begins with play, laughter, and connection.

What can we do when the world is such a challenging place?

Just because we meditate doesn't mean we don't feel fear, anxiety or anger at world events.

But by meditating, we learn to self-regulate, process this with more peace, and find new ways to act to bring more peace into our world.

If you bring energy of peace, for a few moments, into your life, then you automatically share this with others - your kids, your family, your relationships, your friends, your work colleagues... your community.

It's a ripple effect. And it starts with the source of peace within you.

It starts with the heart within that loves you deeply and wants you to know you are already a container for peace.

Perhaps you haven't been shown how to access it yet - then meditate with a good teacher or group.

Perhaps you do know how to access it, but forgot it was there.

So meditate.

If you can't sit still in meditation, then walk. Walk with the breath. Walk in nature. Walk knowing that the earth is under your feet, holding you up and supplying each breath you breathe.

Each breath, breathed with awareness, is like a step into your peace 'well' within. Do it now as you read this.

Breathing in,
I know I am breathing in
Breathing out
I know I am breathing out.

(now smile)

In this moment, you are alive, and each breath, breathed with the energy of peace, is shared worldwide.

Is it time to practice?
Is it time to bring peace into your little 'patch' of the earth.

(Your heart is waiting).

Namaste.

(I have started a new YouTube playlist with videos that inspire the peace within me. If you have any you would like to suggest, please post here). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpv_WVE34VotCQaeE6rmnaR0jGeR0KpaI&si=fmN2UIDYGlag2_Sc
