Book excerpt: Sometimes it just takes one little secret to make parenthood everything you thought it could be... It's a familiar feeling, you are sat at the dinner table and your child is acting up. You have tried everything you thought was right. After a long day of work, it feels like your child is purposefully pushing your buttons. No parent wants to lose control and shout at their kid, but it happens. Maybe you think that at least you are disciplining your child... but studies show that long term it leads to poorer parent-child relations and is consistently ranked the worst disciplining method by child behavior psychologists. No parent wants to have a bad relationship with their child, but if they don't take the time to watch their own behavior it can happen without them even realizing. Aileen Jarvis & Rowan Roffe are child developmental specialists and have seen this happen over and over again. One of the most common issues they faced when working with children has always been the way in which the parents are just so radically underprepared to cope with the stress of raising a child. While working together they realized that if they wanted to make a real and lasting impact on a child's life, they had to start at the core, they had to start with the parents. Ever since then they have worked tirelessly to bridge the divide between parent and child and teach parents the secrets of mindful parenting. Since seamlessly integrating mindfulness into their therapeutic approach, they have gone from success to success. The impact that they made on the child by simply slightly adjusting parental behaviors has been so successful that they have made it a fundamental part of their treatment process. For the first time ever, they are releasing their parenting roadmap in book form, for much less than the price of an expensive therapy session. In Mindful habits for better parents, discover the secrets: Mindfulness, what's all the fuss about it anyway? What really is going on inside the brains of your kid? Can mindful parenting bring you closer to your partner? 5 little things that you probably aren't getting right Habits you need to start doing as soon as possible 3 simple tricks that will stop from you losing your cool It is never too late to learn new parenting techniques and Aileen Jarvis & Rowan Roffe have even had success with older teenagers. In their long career, they have collectively dealt with over 10,000 children from every age bracket. Mindful parenting has proven to be one of their most effective techniques for connecting children with parents in over 89% of all cases that they have dealt with. Ultimately, your goal will always be to raise your child as best as possible. To love them and care for them. No more will you have to worry about the stress of a tantrum in public or your teen not obeying curfew. In this easy-to-follow book, Aileen Jarvis & Rowan Roffe have cracked the code to a more rewarding parenting experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids. Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece? With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways. When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come. An essential, must-read for all parents—now more than ever. “To raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be….

Download or read book The Mindful Child written by Susan Kaiser Greenland and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help the children in your life protect themselves with these groundbreaking age-appropriate mindfulness techniques. Mindful awareness works by enabling you to pay closer attention to what is happening within you—your thoughts, feelings, and emotions—so you can better understand what is happening to you. The Mindful Child extends the vast benefits of mindfulness training to children from four to eighteen years old with age-appropriate exercises, songs, games, and fables that Susan Kaiser Greenland has developed over more than a decade of teaching mindful awareness to kids. These fun and friendly techniques build kids’ inner and outer awareness and attention, which positively affects their academic performance as well as their social and emotional skills, such as making friends, being compassionate and kind to others, and playing sports, while also providing tools to manage stress and to overcome specific challenges like insomnia, overeating, ADHD, hyper-perfectionism, anxiety, and chronic pain. When children take a few moments before responding to stressful situations, they allow their own healthy inner compasses to click in and guide them to become more thoughtful, resilient, and empathetic. The step-by-step process of mental training presented in The Mindful Child provides tools from which all children—and all families—will benefit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a pediatrician and based in proven-effective mindfulness techniques, this book will help you and your child with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) keep calm, flexible, and in control. If you are a parent of a child with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you probably face many unique daily challenges.

Bertin addresses the various symptoms of ADHD using non-technical language and a user-friendly format. In addition, he offers guidelines to help you assess your child's strengths and weaknesses, create plans for building skills and managing specific challenges, lower stress levels for both yourself and your child, communicate effectively, and cultivate balance and harmony at home and at school.

Download or read book Lame Habits of Truly Good Parents written by Christiane Gudrun Carstairs and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining a fresh perspective helps! Our fast-paced modern lives easily leave us feeling overwhelmed, worried, or burdened. Whether you're unsure about your parenting skills, facing a family challenge, or are spread too thin, learning better coping behaviors and new skills will help you gain awareness of your own strength, and build your parenting tool box. What makes for a good-enough parent? What does conscious and mindful parenting look like? As working parents, what do we need to know to grow smart, and emotionally intelligent children? This book offers a refreshing new perspective on how our daily struggles as parents are predetermined by something much bigger than our child's misbehavior. Therefore, this book is not your typical parenting 101-type book filled with parenting advice about discipline and potty training (as important as those are). Instead, it will challenge you to explore dusty corners long forgotten to parent consciously today. Working mothers are a fact in this day and age. While millions of mothers have joined the job market, and working fathers are taking on the task of child-rearing in ever greater numbers, they still ask: "What will I do with my kids?" 71% of mothers with children under the age of 18 are in the labour force. 64% of those mothers have children under the age of six (U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics). Our workplace culture, is for the most part, still built on a model that dictates a strict work and home life separation offering working parents few choices, while healthy childhood development demands heavy parental involvement. Skillful and sometimes funny, interspersed with thought-provoking questions and exercises, the author takes us on a journey to come to understand our children's world from a broader perspective. She shows us how their journey is instructed by developmental steps all humans must take. The author encourages us to develop our own parental road map to consciously and mindfully parent today.

Download or read book The Mindful Parenting Handbook Understanding Your Child s Emotions Learning To Listen written by Emma J. Benson and published by . This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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?

Scott & Barrie Davenport and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s easy to fall in love. The challenging part is keeping that spark alive while you and your partner deal with “the real world”. Your relationship can often seem less urgent than the day-to-day emergencies that you deal with—your job, finances, children, and that to-do list full of chores. They all demand your immediate attention. What often gets lost in the shuffle is the love you share with your partner. If you want to build a deeper connection with your spouse or partner, then one solution is to build mindful relationship habits. In a mindful relationship, you are intentional about all your choices and interactions with your partner. You become more proactive in responding to each other’s needs and less reactive to the challenges that often arise. You evolve to a higher level of interaction with one another. The Wall Street Journal bestselling authors S.J. Scott and Barrie Davenport show you how to have a better relationship by applying 25 specific practices. These habits will help you be more present with one another, communicate better, avoid divisive arguments, and understand how to respond to one another’s needs in a more loving, empathic, and conscious way.

We all know the uncontrollable rage of our children when they don't get what they want. And unfortunately, those tantrums go far beyond the typical ice cream discussions in the supermarket.

Since you can't read each other's minds, effective communication is fundamental for a healthy relationship between parents and their kids. 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.
