Mindfulness Can Reduce Parenting Stress

March 11, 2024 | Ruth Freeman

Daylight Saving Time might make you feel more stressed as a parent. Mindfulness Can Reduce Parenting Stress, because…

• Being aware of our thoughts, emotions, and body sensations reduces stress reactivity
• Being aware of our child, family, home, and culture helps us to raise our child in a way that is consistent with our family values
• Enjoying joyful moments with our child without being distracted strengthens our relationship
• Accepting our child as who they are, with greater awareness of our child’s unique nature, feelings, and needs helps them develop positively
• Responding to challenges and uncertainties with wisdom and flexibility helps the whole family thrive

Don’t miss Peace at Home Parenting’s Recorded Workshop hosted by Na Zhang PhD MEd, The Power of Mindful Parenting, to help take the stress out of parenting.
