”Parenting is one of the most challenging, demanding, and stressful jobs on the planet. It is also one of the most important, for how it’s done influences in great measure the heart and soul and consciousness of the next generation, their experience of meaning and connection, their repertoire of life skills, and their deepest feelings about themselves and their possible place in a rapidly changing world.” Jon and Myla Kabat-Zinn, Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting

Mindfulness is a brain-based attention and self-regulation practice that has become a global phenomenon in our society. It benefits anyone of any age, but particularly helps parents to consciously provide calm, positive discipline and direction for their children.
