A mindful grandparent is someone who brings the wisdom of lived experience together with simple, evidence-based meditation skills to support their grandchildren’s emotional wellbeing. You’ve already been through the parenting journey—you’ve seen the ups and downs, the emotional storms, and the moments that needed patience, calm, and care.

That lived wisdom is powerful.

This mindful grandparent tutorial builds on this with scientifically researched practices to bring mindful support for grandparents – helping their grandkids reduce anxiety while improving wellbeing, focus and confidence.

It enhances what you already know—while giving you practical tools that help you respond with even more clarity and calm.

Created by a trusted expert

This tutorial is curated by Lorraine E Murray, founder of the Connected Kids Method, with over 20 years’ experience teaching meditation to children and young people – inclusive of neurodivergence or trauma-experience.

This tutorial is ideal for grandparents who:

  • Want to support a grandchild experiencing anxiety, stress, or big emotions

“I am actively involved in caring for my grandchildren when their parents are working, so I was very interested in this as it has been specifically designed to help Grandparents’ support their Grandchildren’s emotional wellbeing. 

At first, I was a little unsure how well I would be able to manage an online tutorial but needn’t have worried as Lorraine takes you through the modules step by step and offers any support or encouragement you might need. There is a good balance between reading, listening and watching short videos.

I now feel that I have tools to help me support my grandchildren as they grow and develop…. Thank you Lorraine.”
