Mindfulness For Parents and Parenting
Parents can have their buttons pushed by their children and teenagers. Learning mindfulness and stress reduction techniques can help you develop a non-reactive, non-judgmental stance and to approach yourself and others with compassion. It can help parents facing common challenges such as balancing multiple demands, comforting a colicky baby, responding to toddler tantrums, helping children cope with school, or communicating with teenagers. Mindfulness can also support parents with practices which nurture moments of self-care so they can slow down and savour their children’s and teens’ day-to-day experiences. Mindfulness can also be particularly helpful in helping couples connect more deeply with each other while parenting together. I offer workshops and and meditation – discussion group Both are designed to help incorporate mindfulness practices into daily life and apply them to parenting, develop present awareness, deepen relationships, manage stress, and avoid reactive parenting.
