Parenting can be one of the most challenging and stressful jobs. Especially when we know that the way we parent, has the biggest influence on our children.
Practicing mindfulness as parents and modeling calm presence, without reacting and judging can set such a wonderful example to our children and lead us from a place of chaos to increased harmony and happiness.
What is mindfulness and why is it important for you and your child?
In essence, mindfulness simply means that you bring your conscious attention to the present experience, in a non-judgemental and accepting manner. When you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations, you inconsequently gain more ability to CHOOSE your response of what's happening, rather than getting hijacked by your feelings.
We're talking about what is "Mindful presence" and why it's so important to learn in order to help children and parents thrive...
The first and foremost thing as a parent is to "Just relax” and slow down. The more calm and relaxed we are, the more we would enjoy the journey. If we could let go of unnecessary worries, we would be happily enjoying our children instead of hovering over them anxiously.
In this episode of Raising parents, I'm sharing an interesting story from my life, that me and my children still laugh at after 9 years of that incident.
