Event Overview
Setting a Foundation for Mindful Family Interactions
Family life can be hectic and unpredictable, and parenting can be full of intense emotions and frustrations, challenging most parents to find moments of peace. What’s more, our children are not immune, continually absorbing all the stress around them.
Mindfulness helps the well-being of the parent and has positive effects for the whole family. Mindfulness tools help you to slow down and live in the present moment, enabling you to experience a richer appreciation for yourselves and your children and to find more grace amidst the chaos of everyday life.
By embodying this invaluable practice, you can serve as a powerful role model and be empowered to raise mindful kids in a space that models and values calm responses, emotional self-regulation, clarity in decision-making, compassion, and acceptance.
Bring more calmness, clarity, wisdom, and joy into your daily lives…
