Teach Children Meditation Campaign

Teach Children Meditation Campaign We are a worldwide programme that empowers adults to teach children and teens meditation and mindfulness. Our aim is to inspire all!

Our work includes SEN, Autism, ADHD and trauma (fostering/adoption) We believe that children will thrive if we teach them mindful life skills - wherever and whoever they are. We started teaching this nearly 20 years ago and our work has confirmed time and again that children and teens benefit from learning meditation. It reduces their stress and improves mental health and wellbeing. We encourage a

heart-centered, practical approach to teaching kids - no set meditation scripts but empowering adults to trust the heart-to-heart connection and deliver mindful activities that meet children where they are at. Accomodating their needs, attention span, interests and energy. We hope you can join us - we have taught thousands of people to help their kids for personal or professional reasons (which is why we call them peace pioneers!)

Please ask a question or encourage people to find out more/learn how to teach mindful skills. We share our services but also good practice, tips/ideas and explain how meditation helps - all of us. Campaign Objectives

To share best practise of meditation that can help children feel more peaceful. To encourage the use of simple methods that can help both adult and children connect in a heartfelt way. To encourage all to raise awareness of the benefits of meditation for children. To empower parents, teachers, carers and anyone who has or is working with children with knowledge and practical tips on how to relax and 'be' in each other's company. To raise awareness of how meditation can help children with SEN - particularly those have been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD/ADD. To raise awareness of how meditation can support children and their families if fostered/adopted/experienced trauma. To avoid jargon and ego statements - encouraging all to try as this is not 'rocket science' - it is as natural as breathing. To encourage regular, practical ways to meditate for adults and children. To discourage the myth that meditation is only about Oms and the lotus position. It is so much more.

Delighted to write this article for the Spirit of Change Magazine about helping children access their inner calm button - especially if they struggle with anxiety and trauma.

Read it here.

Parenting with intuitive mindfulness helps me understand children when they can’t articulate calmly the why and how of their struggle.

08/08/2025

This is a short excerpt from my 2nd book, 'Connected Kids'. It comes from one of the pilot studies we conducted with families to explore the possibility of creating meditations for children who struggle.

These children taught me. I had to learn how to adapt teaching meditation to meet their needs.

They could meditate; we just needed to show them how.

This quote, from the book, is from a mother and her 7-year-old daughter, who were initially struggling. Simply learning to notice her breath and using yoga postures helped them both.

I hope it inspires you to try teaching meditation.

Author-signed copies of 'Connected Kids' are available on our website. http://www.teachchildrenmeditation.com/

The book is available on Amazon, other bookstores and your local library.

If you had told me over 20 years ago that I would publish my first book, which would be translated into five languages and sell thousands of copies worldwide... well, quite frankly, I would not have believed you!

But that's precisely what happened. I consistently receive positive feedback about it - many see it as a guidebook for those new to meditation and want to share meditation with family.

I was delighted to receive this feedback from a mum and founder of parenting resources recently!

Another day volunteering today at ...basically they take leftover food from supermarkets and transform them into gourmet lunches ( and toasties too). It's for everyone to enjoy. Plus if you can't afford, pay what you can. Genius!

Anyone else joining me on the Insight Timer for this free session? happening in 20 mins! :)

All about how to teach meditation more creatively and intuitively...
creative mindfulness - ask questions and learn

This is my first live session on Insight Timer, which will give you an insight (excuse the pun) into my Insight Timer Teaching Meditation to Children 101 course. In this live session, I'll demonstrate how you can bring curiosity and wonder to a meditation style or 'tool' that you can then share with...

This quote comes from my 2nd book, Connected Kids, which was published over 10 years ago.

Now, we are embracing the idea that our young people inherit the energy DNA from the family generations that came before them.

This means that emotions and thoughts are passed on, and the frequencies at which children 'vibrate' are a result of this inheritance, combined with their developing energy in this new world.

When I help people teach their children meditation, the focus isn't just on the young person - it's also on the adults who connect with them.

As the adult meditates and heals, on a vibrational level, this also heals/balances the child's energy. And it works vice versa (child helps balance adult).

This isn't to 'blame' parents for their kids, btw. It's to show parents that we are all connected, and we are more energetically powerful than (most) of us realise.

Practice meditation, and you will find that your energy has a positive effect on you and your kids.

Teach them how to meditate, and they won't have to repeat old patterns of your ancestral history - you'll free them of that.

Meditation will help you let go of trying to be a perfect parent. That's nonsense.

You will learn to

Observe I Accept I Let go
