Happy, Calm & Connected Kids
Proven Anxiety Techniques & Tools for kids & teens.
An empowering group program that helps anxious kids thrive emotionally & socially.
You’re raising a sensitive child and…
Concerned about their anxious worries and fears?
Tried everything, yet the tricky situations and worries don’t stop?
Exhausted by emotions taking over and the strain at home?
Unsure how they’ll cope in high school and if anxiety will hold them back in life?
You know your child is brave, strong, and full of potential.
But right now, anxious thoughts and big emotions keep getting in the way.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place.
Here's What Kids Really Need...
While schools are focused on maths and reading, kids aren’t being taught how to manage emotions, build resilience, or understand anxiety. Sensitive children especially can feel lost without being taught these essential life skills.
We created an empowering, educational program especially for sensitive, kind-hearted kids that inspires them to:
Feel It, Don’t Fear It
Understand emotions, stay calm, and manage anxious worries.
Rise Stronger Every Time
Bounce back from challenges, face worries, and ask for help.
Proudly Be Themselves
Build self-belief, self-compassion, and confidence.
Why This is Important and Why Now
Kids do better, when they know how to.
The patterns you’re seeing in your child don’t just fade on their own. Meltdowns, worries, and struggles are signs your child needs support, the longer they continue, the harder they are to shift.
It’s not about toughening them up, but giving them the tools to manage emotions, build confidence, and develop real life strategies, while staying true to their sensitive nature.
The best time to give your child the support they need is now.
With the right support, here’s what your child could experience instead:
Imagine the difference when your child starts…
- Raising their hand with confidence instead of shrinking back.
- Speaking up for themselves, confidently
- Calming worries before they spiral into meltdowns.
- Coming home excited about trying new things.
- Believing, “I can do this. I’m enough just as I am.”

What's Inside the Workshop
In just 4 weeks, witness the remarkable transformation as we empower your child to handle their anxious worries and navigate life’s challenges with calm confidence.
Each week, your child will join their small, live online group (max 5 kids) where they learn, practice, and grow with the guidance of their qualified mentor; an inspirational coach, and nurturing mum who understands what it means to be sensitive.
Your Child Will Experience 3 Key Focus Areas
We don’t skim the surface. With 4 weeks of support, kids are given the time to truly understand, practice and master the skills they need. While other programs rush through in a single session, we build strong foundations that last a lifetime.
Together, these key focus areas create a whole-child emotional well-being transformation. Your child grows happier, calmer, more confident, resilient, and connected every week.
Here's How We Do It

Why Parents Love Our Workshops
Our son is off to high school next year and we were concerned, as his close friends were going to other schools, he’d find it difficult to reach out to make new friends. Raising Connected Kids was recommended to us by a friend whose son was quiet and reserved like ours.
Our son loved the program, he was fully engaged each week and looked forward to the each session.
During the learning, we noticed more open discussions with us and at school he started to engage with kids he never really knew before.
It was wonderful to see.
We’d highly recommend Connected Kids Academy to anyone.
I was so grateful and hopeful when I found Kaz and heard about her Academy programme. My daughter has faced challenges with anxiety and traditional counselling and art therapy hadn’t helped. She has now been on the programme for 10 months and the changes have been remarkable, and we often talk about how far she’s come.
I’m blown away at how confident she is and how she is embracing opportunities at school. She is thriving and she’s never been happier.
The weight that has been lifted off me is huge. I am feeling so much more confident as a parent and I’m able to enjoy my relationship with my daughter so much more. I can’t thank Kaz or her team enough.
This programme was recommended to me from a friend who’s own sons had participated. It’s been wonderful!
Kaz runs a great programme helping both my son and daughter learn how to navigate big feels like anxiety, anger and fears. Both Kaz and Diane are so warm and encouraging.
Definitely recommend your kids participating if they need a confidence boost.
The remote group sessions means you can participate if your traveling or on the go between activities.
It was so great for my kids to meet others and share their feelings and experiences and made them realise they were not alone.
Our son has learnt so much in the connected kids program these last couple of years!
Huge thanks to Kaz and Diane for your support, counselling and guidance.
He has made a really strong start to high school and is forming new friendships while coping well with the increased academic demands.
Thank you so much for your contribution to his successful development, it is so appreciated.
As a mum of a girl who experiences anxiety, I’m so grateful for Connected Kids Workshops.
The sessions gave my daughter a safe space to talk about her feelings and helped her realise she’s not alone. She now understands her anxiety better and feels more in control, while it still shows up sometimes, it’s much less frequent and more manageable.
I highly recommend this program to families facing similar challenges. A special thank you to Kaz for creating such a unique and supportive program – not just for kids, but for parents too.
Kaz connected so well with my 13 year old son, this small group was a safe space for the teens to learn skills and share, supported by Kaz.
Thank you for the emotional literacy skills you taught, Kaz.
I’d love to see primary schools bringing you in to run workshops, every student would benefit 🙂
