Mindful Parenting: Implementing Mindfulness Techniques with Parents During Home Visits

Description

Children reflect the nervous systems of adults around them – including parents, caregivers, teachers, and others. To create mindful environments and mindful interactions, we must first focus on your own experience. Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment with openness and curiosity. It has a variety of research-backed impacts including reduction in stress, improvement in job satisfaction, emotional regulation, enhanced parent-child interactions, and increased focus. In this training, we will focus on cultivating your personal mindful practice, examine the fundamentals of mindful practices, and explore strategies to implement mindfulness in your classroom or home environment.
