The Power of Mindful Parenting to Transform Family Stress

November 07, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Na Zhang Na Zhang,PhD, MEd

Challenges & Solutions

Mindful practice deepens our awareness and helps us act wisely as parents, even in stressful times. When we bring kindness and present-moment attention to ourselves and our relationships with our child(ren), we can see and accept our own imperfections and our past experiences (even the painful ones). This helps us support our children with more awareness and connection. 

Mindful parenting is an inner practice that can be simply embedded in our daily life and is waiting for you to discover. You will learn how scientists have defined and studied mindful parenting. This new research explores the relationships between parents’ mindfulness and children’s well-being. This area of study also teaches us about best practices in everyday parenting. You will hear some of the most recent findings on the positive effects of mindfulness on our psychological and physical wellbeing, especially how mindfulness may affect our stress physiology. You will also gain mindfulness techniques you can use in everyday parenting.

Help Your Young Child Feel Safe and Secure

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert JoAnn Robinson JoAnn Robinson,PhD

Challenges & Solutions

Children look to their parents and caregivers for signals of whether their world is safe or dangerous. Join this live, interactive workshop to gain essential strategies to support your child’s feelings of optimism and security. 

Signaling safety to our children is an essential principle of peace at home. It is important to recognize the nature of your own anxious responses and have tools to manage those.  Children need family life to remain pleasurable and playful even in uncertain times. When you understand how to signal to your child that they are safe, you are better able to protect their mental health.  Research shows that a child who feels safe with their parents and caregivers will grow and develop positively, and naturally use social-emotional strategies to solve problems.
