IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM TRINITY KIDS

Love Your Life (600x600)

Self care is essential…..but can involve us having to make difficult decisions.
It’s less about massages, fancy dinners or even a night out with friends. Whilst those things are fun and so important, the ultimate self care is about really striving to carve out the life we want.
For me that means ease, and peace, and time with my kids. It’s about calmness and joy and a flow of life that promotes well being.
It’s so easy to get swept up in the busy-ness of life; to be caught up in the “have-to’s” without realising that WE are steering our ships. WE are in charge and WE get to change what we’re doing to it looks and feels more like WE want it to.
So, after much soul-searching and time spent in deep thought, I have made some BIG decisions with regards to Trinity Kids!
From Term 2 2020, our Trinity Kids programs will ONLY be available in one location, Somerville (School Holiday workshops may be available in additional areas – check website for details each term). I have decided to scale back in order to create less stress and a better work / life balance.
At this stage I will only be running a certain number of programs, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
I thank you for your understanding as I make these transitions over the coming months.

Welcome to the home of Trinity Kids Australia, where we try to encourage our children, no matter what age, to establish a better connection to

and their community.

Trinity Kids Australia has one mission….to Emotionally Empower Kids Every Day.

Our Trinity Kids programs are specifically designed to build emotional intelligence of children and young adults. Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and self-harming are becoming more prevalent in our young people, and bullying rates are escalating.

Here at Trinity Kids, it is our mission to teach kids how to identify, sit with and manoeuvre their emotions, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. We believe that hurt people hurt, so if we empower our kids with the ability to effectively process how they’re feeling, they won’t project or internalise it.

However, this needs to start early. We enrol our kids in swimming lessons from infancy, but statistically they are much more likely to drown in their emotions, than any body of water. We believe that by starting early, with children as young as 2 years old, by the time they are teens and young adults, emotional intelligence will just be inherent.

Each program offered is carefully designed to help kids develop an array of emotional tools, that they can draw upon as they learn to navigate the natural challenges of life.

From toddlers to the later teen years, parents and educators, there is something for every child’s stage in life. So please take some time to explore what Trinity Kids may have to offer you and your family.

Come and see what our Kid’s Programs have to offer.

Testimonials

  • My 2 kids 6+8 (and 3 when she just can’t help but join in) are loving going to mindfulness every week. Deanne is just so lovely and great with the kids. They are really getting a lot out of going and learning how to be more mindful, grateful and kind. Everyone could do benefit from these things in their lives. 
    Oh and the TeePee just makes the experience that much better! Thank you Deanne for bringing more kindness and love to the world XO

  • My son just finished the Toddler mindful program. It was an amazing experience we will both treasure. Deanne was so gentle with guiding the children through breathing techniques and clever in incorporating yoga and colour therapy into her program. Highly recommended!

    Kirsty Poole Trease

  • Deanne doesn’t “teach” rather she provides the tools and safe environment for the children to explore their emotions and behaviours. This self observation and exploration providing effective, long-term “life skills” for my child, as he navigates life. The changes in my child’s attitude and behaviour is almost miraculous and definitely assists me to parent more effectively.

My Story

Hi, I’m Deanne and a mum of three crazy, beautiful boys. Many years ago, I was faced with some pretty difficult challenges. My eldest son was filled with rage, and had begun to hurt himself when he felt overwhelmed; he was only 9.

I did everything I could to “fix him” but discovered that I was the key. I was using out-dated emotional tools on this parenting journey and they just weren’t cutting it. So, I learnt a new way.

I forged new tools and then handed them to him as they developed. It wasn’t easy, in fact it was incredibly hard, confronting and a real challenge. But the changes (in both he and I) were almost instantaneous. I discovered strategies for how to stay connected, present and more mindful as a parent, no matter what situation we were facing. And he learned that his feelings were valid, respected and he could feel them without causing damage to anyone or anything.

Daily meditation became a habit, and I learned to create space between my own triggers and reactions. To stay present and mindful in my own emotions, and to fill that space with something other than yelling, screaming and smacking.

It has become my mission to empower kids, no matter how big or small. To give them strategies and techniques that they can use when emotions run high. That they can know their inherent worth and importance in this life. And that they grow to be kinder, more compassionate and confident adults who know that no matter what life throws at them…..they got this!

Much love
