Mindful Parenting brings calm and joy into family life.


Practicing mindfulness and meditation enables us to be more readily available
to parent in healthy and growth promoting ways.

Benefits for Parents


• Calm and clarity in stressful moments
• Understanding unique reactive patterns-how and when we “lose” it
• Effective and healthy parenting by responding rather than reacting

Benefits for Children


• Self regulation—calming, better impulse control, self soothing
• Feel acknowledged and understood—feel loved
• Self acceptance, enhanced self esteem
