All parents want their child to be happy and make a positive impact on the world. Children learn to be agile and resilient, developing their academic and life skills as well as emotional well-being as they grow. A child depends a lot on their parents and teachers for guidance so they can understand and manage their emotions, as well as set and achieve positive goals. Though not often expressed, all this learning is actually an important aspect of what is Mindfulness. This book is organised into 30 topics or themes which can be used for weekly discussion between parent and child. The author also provides ideas on how parents can use the activities to engage the child to deepen their social emotional health using mindfulness. Children can explore the activities, reflections, experiments and mindful colouring and have fun, while learning.

'Making a paradigm shift, Sen writes, "Parenting is not just about bringing up children. It is about growing up and transforming ourselves to be better human beings." Urban parents, working or stay-at-home, would do well to get themselves a copy. Actually, make that every parent.' - India Today 'Although there are endless discussions on what is good and not good for children, Shelja has a simple belief - a happy mother is the best thing for children.' - The Hindu 'Alive with anecdotes, distilled theory and authentic empathy, this gift of a book nudges us gently and playfully through a reflective connect with ourselves and our children into the world of life-affirming parenting! Shelja is a wise guide ... My well-thumbed copy is evidence of its real value.' - Gloria Burrett, psychotherapist, New Delhi 'This is a wise and wonderful book written by the talented therapist, Dr Shelja Sen. Professionals and parents alike will enjoy this well-written and insightful text. Outstanding!' - Susan Lowell, educational therapist, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 'This is a book that makes us look within as parents ... It will make you drop your jaw in awe that parenthood could be so vast and complex, but it will also make you shake your head in disbelief that it could be so simple ... All you need is love, really.' - Ankita Khanna, psychologist and art-based therapist, New Delhi '"Go get this book" if you are a parent. Your kids will thank you too.' - Garima Gupta, Goodreads 'This book is different ... Parents as coaches is the approach, with a community that nurtures them and their children.' - The Times of India Bangalore blog 'This is not your run-of-the-mill parenting book. Her philosophy rings true and is extremely adaptable. Giving you tools that almost any parent can work with to better themselves which in turn will better their children. This book is a must-read!' - Upasana Mahtani Luthra, blogger 'I enjoyed reading this book and being a first-time mom, it was that much more enlightening. Dr Shelja has truly kept to her word, by not lecturing parents but helping parents understand their kids and anticipate their behaviour at every stage. A real eye-opener and one of my favourite books on parenting so far.' - Sneha, www.amazon.com 'This is a well-written book - very powerful topic, but written in a very lucid style and makes for "easy" reading. Reinforces the "basics on parenting" in a great way and leaves an impression! The section dealing with teens and pre-teens is especially good.' - Namrata Singh, www.amazon.com I accept and love you the way you are. You are unique, you are different and you are you. I will not compare you with others, I will not constantly keep expecting and demanding what you might not be able to do or give.As parents, we foist our dreams and aspirations on our children, push them to be more than we could ever be. But do we have the courage and honesty to look within and ask what drives our parenting - our own needs or those of our children? More crucially, are we able to accept them and respect them for who they are? Child & adolescent psychologist and family therapist Shelja Sen formulates five anchors of parenting to help you connect with the immense wisdom that is already present in you: Connect (create the foundation of parenting); Coach (build the necessary skills in children through an understanding of their unique wiring and temperament); Care (nurture ourselves for a more wholesome life); Community (build caring ecosystems for children to thrive in) and Commit (sustain the courage and compassion). Groundbreaking, essential reading.

Are you interested in creating beautiful memories of your parenting journey? Then this journal is for you. The parenting journal helps you to take the first steps to develop the relationship you desire. The Parenting Journal was designed to assist parents in developing a healthy loving relationship with their children. The activities were created from the findings of the author's research on parent-child relationships, which suggest that parents and children feel close to each other when there is an emphasis on interactions that they mutually enjoy. Moreover, parents experience more cooperation and less resistance from their children when they intentionally create experiences that both parent and children appreciate. WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE PARENTING JOURNAL: 1. Through the daily activities, you will be encouraged to intentionally focus on the positive aspects of your relationship with your child. The more you focus on the positives of the relationship, the more positivity you'll experience. 2. You'll gain a greater awareness of who you are as a parent and an adult. An increased self-awareness provides the opportunity for you to change yourself, your parent-child relationship, and your family dynamics. 3.

What does it mean to be mindful, and how can you apply it to being a parent? In the first place, practicing mindfulness involves forgiving yourself. Specifically, it means forgiving your body for having emotional reactions to stressful situations. Now more than ever, we are adjusting to paradigm shifts and alarming global events in real time. And if those things are affecting us, they’re likely also affecting our kids. An adult will always have more wisdom than a child. But children also have to manage stressful changes in their body from puberty and the emotional toll of transitioning through life. After graduating from middle school to high school, then they’re old enough to take on more complicated chores. Learning how to drive. Getting to stay out late. Joining clubs, making friends, seeing new places. That’s why it’s important to recognize that their emotional reactions are just as deserving of patience and forgiveness as our own. But it’s inevitable for pressure and panic to sometimes take rationality away from us. Accidents happen. Danger can be hard to avoid. And that’s when fear and concern for their safety and well-being can sometimes come out as anger. Practicing mindfulness can help you become the parent your kids need you to be. Learn how with The Mindful Parenting Handbook! Emma J. Benson wrote this insightful, well-paced guide as the second installment to her Mindfulness trilogy. After Unlocking Mindfulness for yourself and before learning how to teach Mindfulness For Kids, this parenting book will tell you how to directly put these positive practices into your raising your kids. It starts with yourself. By regulating your emotions and learning how to kindly communicate even when you’re worried or scared, you can refrain from taking your stress out on your family. By learning and practicing when to apologize and when to show appreciation, you are teaching them to show compassion and empathy for themselves and towards other people. There are 8 chapters to go through, and the first part focuses on what Mindfulness is and what it looks like in healthy relationships. It begins by telling you how to build a strong emotional foundation that they can fall back on as they go through the different stages of life. Because emotions are important. Stress reactions are important. Recognizing when your body is reacting to something harmful or dangerous is the first step to learning how to avoid it. Teaching this life skill is more effective than shutting your child out from the potential dangers of the world. This mindfulness book will teach you how to breathe and step back together as a parent; you are someone they should be able to turn to when they need help and guidance. By redirecting your and practicing productive communication, you can foster a stronger bond and a healthier relationship. This light and portable guide is an easy read you can enjoy at home, bring to the office, or take with you to business trips. This book is a must-read for experienced parents and parents-to-be. To encourage practice in daily life, between the pages you’ll find stress management tips and techniques, real-life situations, and engaging practice tools in the form of helpful worksheets. It also comes with guided activities you can perform together, like days of gratitude to help you stay on track and monitor your progress. Being more mindful can relieve stress in the household and help you enjoy watching your children develop and grow. Still not convinced? Here are more reasons to buy yourself a copy of this guide: - An insightful guide all parents should read - An easy read with well-paced chapters - A must-have guide for both moms and dads - Thoughtful gift idea for parents-to-be Practice compassion and guide your children.

Despite its inherent joys, the challenges of parenting can produce considerable stress. These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. Mindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. Featured in the text: Detailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program. The complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up. Handouts and assignments for each session. Findings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program. Perspectives from parents who have finished the course. Its clinical focus and empirical support make Mindful Parenting an invaluable tool for practitioners and clinicians in child, school, and family psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry, social work, and developmental psychology.

A mindful approach to parenting that helps children (and their parents) feel happier, healthier, calmer, and less stressed in our frenetic era Rooted in the science of the brain, and integrating cognitive neuroscience and child development, Mindful Parenting is a unique program that speaks directly to today's busy families who make up what Dr. Race calls "Generation Stress." Research has shown that mindfulness practices stimulate the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Regular stimulation of this part of the brain helps us feel happier, healthier, calmer, less anxious, less stressed, and makes it easier for us to concentrate and think clearly—the very behavior we are hoping our children will display. Dr. Race provides: An explanation of the way the brain works and why parents and kids today are more stressed, anxious, and angry than ever before Practical solutions to the problem: Things parents can do to change brain patterns and create a more relaxed and happier home "Brain Coolers": Quick tips that can be used in the moment to help families relax, recharge, and create happiness (such as "The Three Breath Hug") Mindful Parenting understands the realities of raising a family in our fast paced and often-frenetic world and provides hundreds of easy-to-implement solutions, both for parents and their children, to help them manage stress, create peace, and live happier lives.

But how do you stay calm when Peter is hooked to his PlayStation console, Anna refuses to do her chores and John neglects everything you say? In a world where every day feels like another Formula One race, it can be challenging to step back, reflect and listen instead of throwing a fit. Parents' unconscious daily behavior often leads to: Setting unreasonable boundaries Using harsh discipline Being absent Having sky-high expectations ...and overall disconnecting from their kids.

The key to maintaining a calm, peaceful and balanced family life is called peaceful parenting.
