Using mindfulness meditation to reduce stress and increase joy in your daily parenting routine. Mindfulness meditation is at the forefront of many of today's wellness and parenting research trends, but what's it really about? In this workshop we will explore the ways in which you can use mindful awareness to increase empathy and compassion in their daily interactions with your child. We'll talk about what mindfulness is and isn't and learn how to use it to tune into our children and manage parenting stress more effectively.
