Who are Connected Kids?

A mindful revolution for future generations

Lorraine Murray is the CEO of Connected Kids. Originally teaching adults meditation, she wanted to take these skills to young people.  No courses or books were available at the time (20+ years ago), so she tested her theory taking meditation into schools so children could try these lifeskills, and was delighted to discover the benefits children experienced learning mindful skills.

She set up a program to start training adults to teach children meditation and branched out into working with autism, adhd and trauma.

Her first book, “Calm Kids,” was published in 2012 and has been translated into several languages.  She has since written two more books about teaching meditation.

• Breaking down age barriers to make mindfulness accessible to all.
• Ensuring that disabilities like SEN, Autism, or ADHD don’t hinder children from benefiting from meditation.

Self-care Skills for young people

The Connected Kids program, continues to make a positive contribution to thousands of adults and children worldwide. It’s aim is to equip young people with the self-care skills necessary to handle life’s challenges.

If you are looking to embark on a journey that will bring out your talents and abilities, enabling you to guide young people toward inner calm, then you are in the right place.

Feedback from program participants and readers indicates that their children experience:

• Better sleep
• Reduced anxiety
• Improved self-esteem
• Enhanced focus and study skills

Lorraine is also a foster parent, and recognises the potential value of meditation skills in the care system – this influenced her 3rd book and the MTEA course set up for professionals working in the field of trauma.
