What is Connected Kids?

Worldwide Meditation Teaching Program

Lorraine Murray is the CEO and founder of Connected Kids. Originally teaching adults meditation, she decided to find a way to share these skills with young people.

After research and testing her theories, she established a teaching program 20 years ago to help adults teach children and teens meditation – including young people affected by autism, adhd and trauma.

She has published 3 books about teaching meditation.

“Calm Kids,” was published in 2012 and has been translated into several languages.  This was followed by more books about teaching meditation published in 2014 and 2020.

Meditation for kids – our values

• Empowering adults with the skills to teach meditation to young people effectively.
• 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.
• Prioritising a child-centered and compassionate approach in all our endeavors.

Helping children thrive

The Connected Kids program, connects with thousands of adults and children worldwide 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
• Decreased stress levels

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 with children affected by trauma.
