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 will see and accept our own imperfections and our past experiences (even the painful ones) so that we can support our children with more awareness and connection. 

Mindful parenting is not some new scientific discovery. Rather, it is an inner practice that can be simply embedded in our daily life and is waiting for you to discover.

You will learn how contemporary scientists have defined and studied mindful parenting. This new research explores the relationships between parents’ mindfulness and children’s wellbeing. 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 some mindfulness techniques you can use in everyday parenting.

Many of us feel relieved as the school year ends. We look forward to a more relaxed season, at last. And yet…by mid-July, we may be dealing with bored kids who are less cooperative and spending more time on screens than ever. And really, how we spend our summer as a family will impact our children’s readiness for September.

This session will give you an opportunity to think together with Peace At Home teachers and other parents about your summer. Let’s create a mindful and enjoyable season that will strengthen your kids’ optimism and resilience for next school year.

You may be envisioning relaxed time, more family connection and more fun. In reality as summer unfolds, parents say there are lots of conflicts about screen time, hassling kids to read more, maybe play outside more and in the end feeling like you somehow missed out on what seemed in June to be a wonderful opportunity. Ironically all that “freedom” can be confusing and even stressful. Working parents feel there isn’t enough time and at home parents feel overwhelmed with possibilities. Let’s consider a new approach – make a big, positive PLAN with your family.

Parents are feeling especially stretched thin and stressed out during this new normal. Demands are coming at you from many directions while you learn to do almost every daily routine in a new way. Bringing your full attention to the present moment has never been more important nor more challenging. The good news is that there are many simple daily practices that can bring you and your children back to the here and now and have fun doing it.

We parents of young children have too much to do and not enough time to do it. So certain things fall off the to-do list, and fitness is usually one of the first to go. At the same time, we know deep down that we are more patient and positive when we take at least good enough care of ourselves.
