The Mindful Parent

Mindful parenting is considered a conscious effort to raise children with a deep understanding of their positions in life. This on-going process begins when they are infants by portraying trust, compassion and selflessness when they are the most vulnerable. It continues as they are toddlers, and are learning behavioural instincts by watching their parents care for them with a mentoring passion, instead of an authoritative or prejudicial attitude. This approach brings forth a mutual trust as the child begins interacting with you and others, while procuring a sustained respect that creates a beneficial relationship for both parties. Simply put, your child understands that they have your attention, and that you have theirs when you are interacting with one another. You are not distracted or working on seven different things at once. You are simply listening to your child tell you about their day. The Mindful Parent gives you an introduction to mindful parenting. It will show you the way to becoming a mindful parent yourself, including The 5 Step Mindful Parent Practice, five short and simple practices to give raise to a mindful relationship with your child.
