Hi, I’m Kaz,
Founder of Raising Connected Kids
Hi, I’m Kaz.
I know what it’s like to feel big emotions. As a child, I often worried there was something “wrong” with me. Later, as a mum, I saw the same sensitivity in my boys — and everything shifted. I realised sensitivity isn’t a weakness. It’s a gift. In a world that rewards toughness, we need more gentle kindness.
That’s why I created Connected Kids Academy — to celebrate sensitivity as a strength and help children grow into calm, confident, resilient humans who are proud of who they are.
My shy daughter has attended Kaz’s sessions and uses the techniques she learnt daily (particularly to help focus and work through tough/big emotions). Her ability to communicate her emotions has improved dramatically, thus lowering the amount of meltdowns she can experience. The ongoing support from Kaz has also been amazing and truly appreciated by our family.
