Building Confidence in our Young People – Why We Started Child Meditation
We started Child Meditation because we believe every young person deserves the tools to feel calm, capable and confident, long before the pressures of the modern world tell them otherwise. Children today are growing up faster than any generation before them, navigating busy schedules, social comparison and a constant stream of noise that can leave even the most resilient feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
We saw a simple gap: there was plenty of support for children once they were already struggling, but very little designed to build their inner confidence from the ground up. So we created a space where mindfulness and meditation are made genuinely accessible to young minds, through gentle guidance, age appropriate language and practices that fit naturally into everyday family life.
Meet the Leadership Team
Chris Ludlow
Founder & Course Creator
Chris Ludlow has worked as a teacher, head teacher, lecturer and leader in education for nearly two decades.
He was introduced to meditation at a challenging time in his life and quickly developed a daily practice and a passion for the subject. Having seen the enormous difference that meditation made to his own life, Chris became interested in developing a programme that introduced families and children to meditation in a way that was simple and easy to access.
Thought Bubbles began life as an action research project and the basis for Chris’ master’s in education and has since become an audio programme. Thought Bubbles is designed to provide a gentle introduction to meditation that promotes a sense of calm and relaxation. A regular speaker at conferences, Chris is a contributor to books and blogs about the subject and is a regular guest on podcasts about meditation for children and families.
