Mindful Parenting and Caregiving Practices for Cultivating Family Resilience
ZoomThrough these uncharted waters, as parents and caregivers we must find our own anchor so that we can best support our children and teens. We can support each other through these challenging times, and learn to cope with this moment, the “here and now.” Experience mindfulness practices that can nurture parenting with presence, build healthy coping skills, help us notice how to “press pause” and regulate our emotions. We will discuss mindful communication, prioritizing and modeling self-care, gratitude, and practicing loving-kindness and self-compassion.
