Purpose
This 5-session mindfulness-based group for parents of children who experience big feelings and/or behavioral difficulties focuses on building parental self-awareness, emotional control, and compassionate communication. Parents will learn unique strategies to pause and reset before reacting, understand and accept their child's difficult emotions without judgment, and respond more thoughtfully and effectively to challenging situations.
Learning Objectives
Parents will develop personalized tools that incorporate the key principles of mindful parenting:
- Listening with full attention: Giving undivided attention to your child.
- Emotional awareness: Recognizing your own feelings as well as your child's.
- Self-regulation: Managing your reactions to avoid automatic responses like yelling.
- Nonjudgmental acceptance: Accepting yourself and your child as imperfect beings.
- Compassion: Showing kindness and empathy towards yourself and your child.
Outcome
By the end of this workshop, parents will not only understand the practical value of mindful parenting, but experience the positive impact of their enhanced parenting approaches on their child’s emotional and behavioral functioning, as well as the overall quality of their relationship with their child.
