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.

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.

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.

Download or read book Dealing With My Feelings written by Amen Kaur and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naming a feeling takes away the fear of it. If we know what the feeling is, we can understand how to deal with it. Emotions are part of the human experience. They have an influence on how we interact with others, but we are not always taught how to handle them appropriately. We can be quick to react based on what we feel in that moment, instead of letting the emotion pass through the body and responding once we feel calm. This diverse interactive workbook helps children (and their parents!) identify and process a wide range of feelings by using charts, “choose your own emotion” lists, and fill-in-the-blank exercises. As readers work through each interactive page, they will feel empowered, educated, and encouraged to identify and overcome even the most puzzling emotions. Learning to deal with our emotions can help us with conflict resolution and to better handle daily stress—no matter your age.

Book excerpt: Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

Siegel, M.D., and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell, M.Ed., explore the extent to which our childhood experiences actually do shape the way we parent.

Book excerpt: Mindfulness for kids Did you know that, in the US alone, over 1.1 million children have been misdiagnosed with ADHD, with 800,000 of them receiving stimulant medication as a result? Brashness, tantrums and short-attention spans are every parent's nightmare. In my practice, I get a lot of parents who can't even remember the last time they've had some peace around the house, uninterrupted conversations with guests, or even a seamless family night out together, without the fits of rage coming from their otherwise little angels. Because of this, many are tempted to go to the doctor to find some kind of medication or pill that could make their troubles go away. But, is this the correct thing to do? With the growing misdiagnoses of ADD and ADHD, and the surging of pharmaceutical companies whose bottom lines depend on these diagnoses, bringing your child for testing is something parents are beginning to think twice about. My recommendation? What I and the other experts recommend is starting with behavior therapy first. Mindfulness, for an instance, has gone from being a niche spiritual practice to a scientifically-proven, cognitive-based approach to teaching your child the art of present awareness, inner peace, and happiness. This is why I have written Mindfulness for Kids. It is to provide parents with a practical guide on how to approach erratic, emotional, and ungrounded behavior from our beloved children. In Mindfulness for Kids, you will: Discover how to effortlessly and seamlessly smooth out your child's explosive emotions and aggressive behavior. Apply secret parenting techniques only experts know about. Develop strategies to help your child grow their self-esteem and social skills. Discover how food and eating habits affect your child's mood (and the types of food your child should always avoid) Learn how to become part of your child's learning process. Have at your disposal a list of effective activities and practices for your child to practice inside and outside of school. Save yourself from years of trial and error with proven activities that any parent can apply! Discover how to create your very own mindful exercises and activities tailored for your child!

Yes! Somewhere in our over-scheduled and frantic lives we've lost our intuition around how to bring up kids.

It's a timely and liberating journey back to the heart of what really matters -- a deep and lasting relationship with our children. Its unique approach leads us to that deep connection by weaving together the latest in neuroscience, personal story and deceptively simple strategies that are so kind and effective it's hard not to use them.Each chapter re-examines a different area of our parenting lives -- our busyness and stress levels; our more difficult emotions; our challenging core beliefs; our essential connection with our children; our children's tricky emotions; and the struggle of conflict-management.There is more un-learning than learning in this book. It will be read with a huge sigh of relief, a new sense of joy and a realisation that the expertise to parent well is already deep within each one of us.
