Our next Parents as Partners Webinar is this week!
Mindfulness-Informed Parenting: Learn the Basics for Introducing Mindfulness
Practices to Your Child
During this webinar, participants will learn the basics for introducing mindfulness
practices to their child/ren. Whether it’s differentiating breathing, regulating busy
thoughts, or establishing a mindfulness routine for taking a break from devices and
screen time, mindfulness practices can help build emotional resilience in a time where overwhelm and anxiety are common challenges for young people. In addition to providing background on the science behind mindfulness, this session’s experienced panel will also share the strategies they have used in their teacher and parent roles so participants can leave with a foundation for being a mindfulness-informed caregiver.
Register in advance for this webinar:
