What Is Mindful Parenting?

Parenting is fundamentally about how we respond to our children in each moment. It is the process of intentionally bringing awareness and compassion to each moment and cultivating loving speech and deep listening to promote better relationships in the family. Our practice group sessions are centered around tools to support you in two main areas of focus:

1. Mindfulness and stress reduction to help us remain calm and less reactive
2. Skillful communication to practice loving and effective speech in a way our toddlers (and partners!) can hear us

“My daughters seem happier, they are better listeners, they are more loving.” ~ Lauren Doyle
