Our Journey and Purpose

Calm Little Minds was founded with a clear purpose: to empower children with the tools they need to understand, express, and manage their emotions with confidence.

Born from a passion for supporting children’s mental health and promoting emotional intelligence, our journey began with one simple idea—that learning about emotions should be practical, playful, and empowering for every child.

We focus on building emotional resilience, nurturing mental well-being, and developing lifelong social-emotional skills through engaging, evidence-based resources for kids, teens, parents, and educators.

Guided by our core values—empathy, creativity, integrity, collaboration, and innovation—we design journals, workbooks, and activities that make social-emotional learning (SEL) both fun and meaningful.

Join us in creating a world where all children feel safe, seen, and supported—at home, in classrooms, and beyond.

Calm Little Minds

Hi, I’m Dina Dimitriou—a psychologist, educator, and mom who deeply understands how overwhelming it can feel to raise and support children in today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world.

Like many of you, I’ve had nights worrying about whether I’m doing enough for my child. I’ve seen the tears after school, the anxiety before bedtime, the emotional outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere. And I’ve also seen the incredible strength, kindness, and resilience that lives inside every child—just waiting to be nurtured.

That’s exactly why I created Calm Little Minds.

With over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and schools, I’ve made it my mission to create practical, evidence-based resources that truly support kids’ mental health and emotional well-being. I hold distinction-level training from the University of Cambridge, have designed courses on resilience and coaching, and authored Are You Parenting the Adult of the Future? to help parents prepare their kids for a world that often asks so much, so soon.

But honestly? My greatest teachers have been the kids themselves—and my own daughters. They taught me what really works (and what doesn’t), and they are the reason I put so much heart into every journal, workbook, and activity I create.

Whether you’re a parent feeling unsure of how to help your anxious child or a teacher searching for tools that truly make a difference in the classroom—I see you. I’ve been there. And I created Calm Little Minds to walk this journey with you.

This is your space for social-emotional learning (SEL) resources that are not only expert-backed, but filled with warmth, creativity, and joy. Together, we can raise a generation of kids who feel confident, resilient, and deeply connected to who they are.

I’m so glad you’re here.
