What are the benefits of meditation for young people?
We cover this extensively in our international best selling books, in addition to our accredited courses.
We have witnessed, first hand, the transformation in young people who have learned mindful skills.
Meditation benefits
“My child/teen could never meditate!”
Connected Kids doesn’t subscribe to teaching meditation in a traditional way. We expand beyond this to offer a wider, creative approach to engaging your young person mindfully.
We guide you to create the style, delivery and approach that works best for your children or those that you work with. That’s why we enjoy continued success as we witness young people finding a way to be mindful that accomodates their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between each of these products/courses? The foundation level is for beginners (parents/carers) and it assumes that you have little or no experience of meditation or teaching it to kids or teens. At this level you learn to teach children on a personal basis (family/friends). There is a completion certificate with this level of training.
The professional course is designed to train you as a certified meditation teacher for kids and teens - including those with more complex needs (*autism, SEN, adhd and an intro to working with trauma).
In the professional training, we automatically include the foundation stage as an extra (free) bonus to ensure that all trainee meditation teachers have the skills and experience they need. After assessment, there is an accredited certification awarded to each new Connected Kids Tutor.
The Mindful Toolkit is a good started step for those that need inspiration to add a few teaching mindful tools to your current ideas toolkit.
The Masterclass for Trauma gives current professionals (who are already working with children with trauma) advanced mindful and energy awareness skills to add to their current, professional practice. This is an optional development step for our professional Connected Kids Tutors.
*If you personally have a child with complex needs or SEN and aren't interested in professional training, we would suggest you complete the foundation course accompanied with our 2nd book - Connected Kids.

This is a new addition to our Connected Kids programme. It is designed as a CPD Masterclass for our qualified Connected Kids Tutors. However we have opened it up to professionals working with trauma as it combines meditation skills with energy awareness to complement their current professional practice with children affected by trauma.
Some of our courses are offered on a monthly membership access - these are uncertified and your access is based on continued payment.
Full purchase will usually offer completion certificates or professional accredited certification.
