Have little ones at home? Are you feeling a bit out of control and in need of some extra guidance?
Research has shown that mindfulness practices stimulate the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Regular stimulation of this part of the brain helps us feel happier, healthier, calmer, less anxious, less stressed, and makes it easier for us to concentrate and think clearly—the very behavior we are hoping our children will display.
Yet between all the potty accidents, early morning wake-ups, sibling spats, and waiting in the preschool pick-up line, let’s be honest — you probably have little energy left to read chock-full-of-advice parenting books.
At the same time, mindfulness is all the buzz, and some folks are incorporating it into their parenting philosophy. This helpful strategy may not be such a bad idea — on mindful parenting and why it may be worth taking an extra moment to breathe the next time you face a situation that’s beyond frustrating and much more are the contents of this book.
By being present with your children, and your own emotional processes, you can make better decisions and react with greater clarity and compassion.
