Mindful Parenting Mindful Parenting Mindful Parenting Mindful Parenting Mindful Parenting Mindful Parenting is a new and special skill,
And that's why we're here.
I want to emphasize this.
Mindful Parenting is about being with your child,
Not just being attentive to them.
It means feeling what they feel,
Truly seeing them,
Paying attention to their tone of voice,
Their eyes,
And their body language.
When our child feels truly heard,
They feel seen,
They feel understood,
They feel like they belong.
And this sense of belonging is one of the most important things a child needs to grow up with confidence.
So a Mindful Parenting asks,
What is my child feeling right now?
What are they trying to tell me with their behavior?
What do they really need from me?
A boundary,
A hug,
Maybe just being there for them,
Being heard?
This is a shared journey,
And this is so beautiful that this attitude changes not only the child,
But also us,
The parents.
This is a shared journey toward a relationship with 300% responsibility,
100% responsibility for myself,
The parent,
100% for my children,
And 100% responsibility for the relationship between us,
The connection,
The boundary.
Over time,
You will notice that there are fewer struggles at home and more cooperation.
You will feel less anger,
Less guilt.
You will feel truly present,
Being,
Enjoying being with the kid.
You have more fun together.
You get to know your children more,
And it's much deeper,
And in a much deeper level.
Most of all,
There will be a quiet sense of peace.
You feel that you're truly there with your children,
Not just going through the motion,
But generally connected.
For yourself,
Mindful parenting also teaches us to listen to ourselves.
It helps us notice when we are tired,
When we are tense,
And when we need to take a moment of pause.
A parent who listens to themselves is better able to listen to their child.
You can start very small,
Even just 5 or 10 minutes a day.
Here is your first exercise,
And maybe the most important exercise,
The most basic action,
And perhaps the most difficult.
It's simply to be with your child without correcting,
Without teaching,
Without judging,
Without offering suggestions,
Without praising,
And without expressing this failure.
Just listen.
Just be there.
If your child asks,
What are you doing?
Tell them honestly,
I'm watching you and enjoy it.
In the next chapter,
We will talk about mirroring and how to use it.
It sounds simple,
I know,
But it can change life.
Mindful parenting isn't something you do once a week.
It's a way of life.
It requires practice,
Persistence,
And patience,
Both with your children and with yourself.
Some days it will work,
And some days it won't,
And that's okay.
What's important is to stay focused on the path,
On the connection,
And the goal.
With a very small step of true listening,
You will build a bridge of true connection and love in your home.
I'm here to support you in this process,
To help you turn listening into a tool for connection,
Peace,
And growth for both you and your child.
Thank you for listening.
