“Having dealt with high anxiety for much of my life, I have been overjoyed to find that meditation helps me to feel safe and calm, and to think clearly to distinguish between imagined threats and real threats. It has allowed me to open myself up to new experiences and to let go of the idea that if I can’t be perfect, I shouldn’t bother to try. My oldest son has demonstrated similar qualities since he was a toddler – he has been more than a little hesitant to try new things and slow to make friends. Like any good mom, I turned to the internet for help I was lucky to find Lorraine’s first book, Calm Kids. I loved the book so much that I decided to sign up for her course to teach meditation to children. Calm Kids is a great resource.”

Connected Kids – a book for teaching neurodivergent kids

This book to teach meditation is designed to help adults teach meditation to young people. It is perfect for adults who have some meditation/energy experience and want to help neurodivergent children who are struggling with anxiety.

An easy-to-follow guide that teaches an intuitive, energy approach
Skills for leading calming relaxation sessions with Autistic children and teens and/or those with ADD, ADHD, or special educational needs (SEN).
Matching mindful activities to the symptoms and behaviours of autism or SEN and the chakra energy centres
Practical applications to support busy homes/classrooms
Based on pilot studies with families and professionals and 20+ years for working with children

“This book truly is wonderful for the general population, but Lorraine’s detailed work on challenges that people with autism face and several specific balancing mindful activities make this the best book that I have seen for helping kids feel their best. For example, if a child cannot tolerate the food on his plate, she suggests practicing a gratitude meditation before eating where the caregiver and child explore the journey of the food to the plate (imagine the food growing as a plant and thanking sun, soil, water, as well as the farmer who cared for it, etc.) Kids become less afraid of unfamiliar foods and textures as they think about the effort involved in getting the food from a seed in the ground all the way to their plates – I’ve seen this work in my own home!”

This is book forms part of the professional meditation teacher training course on the Connected Kids program.
