Class Description
Mindful Parenting involves learning to see ourselves and our children with more compassion.  We understand there is no such thing as a perfect parent. We do the best we can under very challenging circumstances. Mindful parenting teaches us to take a step back and notice the bigger picture: our beliefs and expectations, our behaviors, our children’s behavior, and how we can learn to put healthier, more productive patterns of behavior in place.  It is not a step by step “how to parent” class, but rather a series of skills and practices that helps parents get in touch with their inherent wisdom. It embraces the growth mindset of ” I know what to do when things go wrong.” In short, mindful parenting can give us confidence in ourselves.

You can choose to take the course live, via zoom OR choose the self guided class. Whatever best fits your needs:)

I do hope to meet you soon!

All my best
